The Past Within

"Hmmm..."

Ary reacted as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh?!"

He was left startled as he found himself in a place of endless water.

He was standing above the water surface, and the sky was clear blue. The surroundings looked so beautiful. The water was so clear that the aquatic creatures in the water could be seen.

"Where are we?"

Ary mumbled, then he looked around.

"Hmm? Guys?"

He reacted. He was alone there.

'What's happening? Where are the others?'

Ary said inwardly, then he called out,

"Erica! Senior Kashi! Granulos! Where are you guys? Mike! Emily!"

Yet no response.

With a slightly panicked expression, Ary bites his lips, and mumbled,

"Where the hell all of them went away?"

"Hmmm..."

Erica reacted as she opened her eyes. She felt like lying on something comfy.

"Hmm?"

She reacted as she glimpsed a familiar ceiling in front of her eyes.

She got up and looked around.
