Mio had a very stressful day, alarm not going off, late for the train, forgot her homework, no money for food, no one in club, not even Azusa felt like practicing, missed her train going home, just miserable. Once she was finally home, all she wanted to do was sleep the rest of this horrible day away and forget about it in the morning, but of course, things just weren’t that easy. She fell into a nightmare immediately.
Mio awoke in an unfamiliar location, and was scared instantly, “What… The hell?” She was confused, couldn’t remember a thing, but she took a moment to look around, she was on the ground, looking up, trees, lots and lots of trees. She was in a forest, of what appeared to be bamboo. “Where… Where am I?” With great pain Mio tried standing up, it hurt, it hurt like hell. Despite the pain she only now felt, she was able to walk, it’s like her legs had been beaten and cut, but her body showed little signs of outward struggle, clearly she’d been attacked while sleeping.
She continued walking until she could find a large stick or branch to bear her weight so walking would be less painful, several minutes passed and she felt blood pooling into her shoes, she kept going though, trying to find anyone who could help her. A long time passed before in the distance she saw a girl clad in red and white, she wasn’t going anywhere, and she wasn’t a scarecrow, Mio tried so hard to get closer, it was agonizing but she went on. When she was finally within earshot she was able to say “Help me, please.” The girl turned to her and Mio collapsed on her feet.
