Chapter 9

To you, the wishing girl


I stared to the scar reflected on the mirror for a long time.

The more I watched it, the more blurred it looked.

Blurred?

That’s when I realized, I was crying.

-

«Tap»

The sudden noise froze me.

Wasn’t the house supposed to be empty?

«Tap»

«Tap»

The noise kept growing closer.

Somebody is climbing up the stairs.

«Tap»

«Creak»

«Tap»

«Creak»

As usual, the old stairs creaked slowly.

“I should run, right?”

At first, that was my first instinct.

However…

“What expression am I wearing now?”

“It would be bad if it were a bad one…”

«Creak»

“Wasn’t I just crying?”

“If so, then my face would be red…”

«Creak»

“It's game over... I can’t pretend the redness away…”

And so, I stopped thinking at all.

«Cr...eee.....aa.....k»

Time is up.

The door is open now.
