I had a dream.

My seat in the school classroom, my usual view.

I can also confirm the appearance of Yuna, childhood training, and classmates.

And I, Mr. Ikto, who looked like a man, sat in the next seat.

I, Mr. Ikto, smile and talk to me, Alicia.

I don't know what the story is about.

On the contrary, I can't hear anything, nor can I move my gaze.

So I guess this is a dream.

Because of the effects of tone, I have had several dreams that Alicia seems to be seeing like this before.

Was it after school?

We had a great time talking.

When I, Alicia, laugh, I, Mr. Ikto, laugh, and time flows slowly.

That's a common sight without any weird philosophy...

- It was a very sad dream.

Saturday, February 25

"………………!!!!

I'm not a voice. I scream and jump up.

Various emotions are pushing me like rage, and I'm going to burn myself out of my head.

"... uhh..."

He held the center of his chest to scratch with his arms, rounding his body and throwing his torso out onto the bed.

As it is, I wait even for the waves of emotion to calm down.

"Huh... Kuh..."

I intuitively figured out that the dream I just had was the sight Alicia wanted.

That's the routine we enjoy.

- But an out of reach vision for Alicia.

"Ugh……………."

I can't stop whimpering, full of tears from next to next.

At bedtime, Alicia's words are remembered before she went out of tune.

"The next tune will be tomorrow."

A relentlessly poked reality.

The situation in Alicia's soul was getting worse every day, making it even harder to get in tune every day.

I've been forbidden dark magic for about a week.

From that day on, I was constantly being watched for my actions.

Alicia wanted nothing more than to keep me from acting up early, and I accepted it.

Alicia is with me while I'm in tune, so it's no different than before. When I'm not in tune, Yuna mainly starts watching me.

Of course while I'm at school, I'll come straight to my room and spend time with you when I get home. I am not allowed to take a bath alone, but I am in a condition where I can come and see how things are going when I am even taking my time in the bathroom.

He brings in a futon for visitors at night and sleeps in my room. Even on the day I was in tune, I would be out of tune at night, so I was with Yona every night.

Yuna had become so stubborn because the situation that she might lose me again had evoked her trauma that I totally deserved it.

Still, I had no intention of giving up Alicia.

When I'm not in tune with Alicia, I spend my days in the library searching for information about my soul.

The escort Yuna never blamed me for my actions or told Alicia.

Instead, Yuna told me what she had investigated herself, and I can be dismayed to realize that this area is after Yuna had already investigated it all.

No matter how far I looked, the only information I could find about my soul was pictorial affairs.

Looking for clues that you don't even know if there are, it feels like walking scratching through the invisible mud ahead.

The blanks in my heart filled with impatience and despair when I was forbidden to use dark magic.

Still, if you give everything away and use soul manipulation, you can keep Alicia alive. For me, that fact was salvation and the only light.

- Even if the light belongs to a moth lamp that burns itself.

"…… Alice?

Unexpectedly, I heard a voice.

Apparently, I woke Yuna up.

"Because I felt like I had a crying voice... are you okay?

I managed to squeeze out my voice and respond to Yona.

"... yeah... okay. Sorry…………………"

Due to the effects of earlier dreams, I am still confused in my head.

The palpitations of the heart also remain intense and restless.

With the unpleasant sweat that blew out of my body, my body heat snatched away and I tremble small.

As I stood still round, there were signs that Yuna was coming to bed.

My hand touches my back and strokes my back.

"...... did you even have a scary dream?

I feel reassured that Yuna's feelings of caring for me came from the feeling of her hands going up and down.

"I'm not afraid. It's just a sad dream……………………."

"…… well."

I was held tight to cover from my back.

Yuna feels comfortable with her temperature and softness.

"Alicia's dream…………?

That seemed like a question that lacked delicacy for Yuna. Unable to grasp Yuna's intentions, I hesitate to respond.

"…… Alicia told me. Alicia is getting shorter and shorter."

Yuna's ability to hold me tighter becomes stronger.

"……… Are you thinking of sacrificing yourself to help Alicia?

"That's..."

Alicia told everyone I could do that.

I couldn't answer Yuna's question immediately.

"I know it's hard for Alicia to be gone. It's hard on me... but don't let your brother sacrifice himself to help Alicia."

"……… Yuna."

"I think it's bad for Alicia. But I can't stand my brother being gone again!

Yuna confessed so as she held me from behind her back.

Oh... I hurt Yuna again.

For a year, Yuna was deeply wounded when I was away.

My cheap behavior opened Yuna's unhealing wounds.

"I can't be Alicia, but I'll do anything I can. You can do whatever your brother wants... so please, brother. Don't abandon us..."

Every word of Yuna's "Tortoise", which persuades her desperately, stabs her painfully in the chest.

I………

"I will not help Alicia at the expense of myself. I won't be on my own from before Yuna, so I'll be fine."

"……… Really?

"True. I swear."

Sorry, Alicia.........

I can't let Yuna die like this.

I gave up the option of giving up my body to Alicia at the expense of myself.

Alicia herself was the only thing that would reassure her the other way around.

"Thank you, brother………………."

I heard a moving noise.

Apparently, Yuna was coming into the futon.

When I woke up and asked Yuna blurred, Yuna opened her hands and invited me into her chest.

I fit into Yuna's arms as she leads me.

Wrapped in a soft Yuna's body, I feel my tenacious heart restore calm.

"Because I'm with you..."

Yuna's hand is stroking my hair.

My other hand is stroking my back and it's like I'm being flabbergasted by a child.

The hand that was touching my hair tickled me touching my cheeks.

He moves to make sure of his shape several times, and eventually his fingertips move to his neck muscle.

I was stroking my back, and I felt like my hands were falling back.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable getting here.

My fingers crawl from my neck muscle to my clavicle, my body trembles unexpectedly and I raise my voice.

"Hey...... Yona............!?

Realizing what Yuna is trying to do, I rush to stop Yuna.

"You can't sleep when you're full of anxiety and worry... it's okay, I'll make sure I can't think of anything"

"Shh, stop! Sorry, Yona. I don't feel that way right now."

I don't care what you do when you feel like this...

He ran away from Yuna and tried to show his willingness to refuse, but he was disappointingly tangled up with both arms and unable to move.

"Please, brother... I'm not here anymore... I'm scared, scared, scared, scared... I'm scared, brother..."

I couldn't refuse Yuna to cry like that anymore - I let Yuna go without her body.

My heart is getting cold. I don't react no matter what I do right now.

It's bad for Yuna, but if you figure that out, Yuna will give up too.

I decided to let Yuna do what she wanted.

... but I didn't know.

Yuna doesn't even know who I am. She knows where the switch is to turn on me.

That once that happens, my body will react regardless of my intentions.

... No, maybe that's different too.

I think I wanted to escape unconsciously myself.

Because I never thought about it while it was happening, and if I was exhausted and I fell asleep like mud, I never dreamed of it.
