Chapter 7:

Decaying - Arc 1

Lucid Memories:The Observer's Servant Eyes「明晰思い出:観察者の従者眼」


Is this it?

I felt uneasy looking at it directly, it wasn't scary, but it did made me feel uneasy, I don't know how it made it there, and I don't know why it's there, all I know is that I don't want to know the reason behind this.

In the middle of the room there was a chair, covered with dried blood, sitting was a skeleton of a person, a child, and around it, was more of them, decayed corpses, broken skeletons, with rats eating them, the smell, it's strong.

I looked for a light switch to open the lights to see a better view, and as I opened it, more of them was there, hanging from chains, piles with only the heads, scratches visible from the walls, tables with skeletons lying down, with chains on their feet and hands connected to the corners of the tables, whoever did this tortured them, or maybe something worse than that, those children, those poor children, it must've been hell for them.

After closing the lights, I left and closed the doors, looking back, I don't know how I endured that scene, they were dead children but it felt like I didn't care, why was I like that? I don't know, I don't seem to know anything whatsoever.

Before going home, I looked around more and saw a church, beyond every structure here, it had the least amount of damage, opening its doors, I went inside to take a look at what was there, and all I could say was, it was a very familiar scene to me, it felt like I was about to tear up, but I didn't, and so I continued.

In front of me was a wooden coffin, besides it was a skeleton hugging it, it felt dramatic if you look at it, dying while hugging a coffin, teh person must've loved the person inside that coffin, I couldn't check to see what was inside out of respect, even if it was obvious what was inside it, I was curious, but out of respect for the two of them, I left them behind.

Looking back, I remembered that I saw a hole on the skeletons head, similar to what I saw in my memory back then, who were you people exactly? I looked back, but I didn't go back, all I knew is that they were the ones I saw in my dream, they were important, maybe a friend, or even a family, but for now, I'll just go home since it's getting dark, I'll just have to check on them tomorrow.
