Out in the brisk night air, Molly looked around to make sure no one saw her. It was late and all the lights were out in the village. Shivering a little in the cold, Molly pressed on. Off to the woods to find the source of the foul smell that stoked her curiosity. She looked around, but everything looked different at night. Maybe the deer had to lead her? She thought. But then she smelled it. The foul smell from earlier, there was no mistaking it. She paused briefly, remembering Natsuki’s words. She thought of heading back, but she just had to know.

Chapter One. After The Movies. It was nighttime. There was a dark alleyway. Just after a rain. Old brick buildings line the alley. No lights. No signs. Just garbage and an occasional skittering rat. A door opens and the alleyway is flooded with light and the sound of music playing from deep inside. A young man walks out.

He goes left. As he takes

Chapter 2 Rise and Shine Bright light breaks through closed eyelids as the young man lies in his bed. As the bright light brings him back to consciousness from his deep sleep, the man at first feel empty. Completely blank. Then an image enters his mind. The image of the woman when she hit him in the chest and was looking at him with fear and sadness and said, "I… I can't lose you again…".
