It was a moonless night and the town’s power supply broke down a few hours ago. The surrounding was engulfed in darkness and was dead silent. Not a leaf stirred could be heard. It was eerie. Too damn eerie that no wide-awake person could possibly stop their own hair from raising. It was an uncomfortable stillness. Spooky.
She was stealing glances from here to there whilst walking in fast pace. Her gut feeling’s telling her that there were eyes looking at her but she just couldn’t find them. Her spirit would try to jump out every time a somewhat silhouette would appear in her very limited vision. Her regret for walking at the surrounding’s current state was soaring. She should’ve stayed.~~~
An incoherent murmur resounded. It came from a room barely lighted by a small table lamp at the side. The murmur was from a girl laying on a bed. She laid there almost bare. Her gown was dishevelled and her blanket was clinging on the edge of the mattress her body laid upon. Her long dark coloured hair was in disarray. Beads of sweat on her forehead slowly came into view. Her eyes were shut closed and her brow furrowed. She looked slightly flustered and would bit her bottom lip from time to time.
And then a loud cry echoed moments after, followed by a catching of breath sound. She panted heavily after bringing herself in a sitting position. Her chest felt constricted, and so she brought her hand on her chest, tapping it with a little force applied hoping it could make the pain go away. She was scared.
Her fear consumed her entire attention that she didn’t notice the girl in a white dress standing by the side of the room’s second bed until it was too late. The pain from her chest constriction came back again after she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. She screamed, a manly scream, which made the girl in white jumped back a few feet away.
“Nani?” the girl in white asked, slightly mortified.
“Huh?”
“What happened?”
“Oh, you caught me off-guard after waking up from a nightmare.”
“Oh”
“And who are you? Why are you in my room?”
“Oh, I’m Niigaki Risa. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“I guess it’s okay.” The girl in a hospital’s gown stood and walked toward the main light switch and turned it on. “I’m Takahashi Ai” she said after the room was well-lighted and she offered her hand to shake. “Have we met before?’” she asked the girl in white she’s shaking hands with.
“No. I’m new around here.”
Staring at the new girl, she opened her mouth to speak again “Can I ask you a question again?”
“Yes, sure.”
“Are you one of the doctors in here?”
“Eh? No, why?”
“Because you’re like a cardiologist, you awakened my sleeping heart.”
