Scene 1: Dreams of the Big City
As the years passed, the strange nightmares faded from Aoi's mind, and she grew into a strikingly beautiful seventeen-year-old girl. Driven by a desire for a fresh start, Aoi begged her grandmother to let her move to Tokyo for high school. Her grandmother, bound by traditional views, initially refused—leaving Aoi completely heartbroken, especially since both Yori and Kanao were moving to Tokyo.
That night, Aoi stared out at the full moon until she drifted off into a vivid dream. In it, she heard the distressing cries of countless young girls. Looking around, she spotted a creepy creature, and standing right behind it was a strikingly beautiful woman staring at Aoi with intense jealousy. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed across her face, awakening her. Her grandma was resting right beside her.
"Ohayo, Grandma!" Aoi whispered softly.
Scene 2: Departure and New Beginnings
During breakfast, her grandmother surprisingly gave her permission to study in Tokyo. Overjoyed, Aoi hugged her grandmother, packed her bags, ignored her unsettling dreams, and set off with Yori and Kanao on a new journey to Tokyo.
Upon arriving in Tokyo, Aoi, Kanao, Yori, and Keito all moved into the same student residence. Aoi shared a room with Kanao, while Yori shared a room with Keito.
Scene 3: The First Encounter
A week later, classes began at Komorebi High. On the first day, Keito sat next to Yori, and the two quickly became friends. Later that afternoon, while Aoi and Kanao were working on an assignment in the school garden, Yori walked up with Keito. "Hey guys, meet my buddy Keito!" Yori introduced cheerfully. "Hi, I'm Keito," he said with a warm smile. "Hi, I'm Kanao, and this is Aoi," they replied. Before Aoi could say another word, a sharp, burning heat surged through the back of her neck, right behind the locket.
