The chandelier flickers intermittently, filling the room with a faint, fishy odor.
Fushimi Roku turns his head, a chill running down his spine. Standing in the entryway of the old Japanese house is a long-limbed woman, none other than Kujo Yua. In the past, he would have admired Kujo Yua's outstanding figure, her nine-head proportion akin to that of a model, but now she seems more like a lanky ghostly figure, unlike a living person.
Now he understands what "danger lurks in dreams" means.
Minamoto Tamako immediately retracts her head, obediently sits back at the desk, and pretends to be reviewing her homework. Fushimi Rokushin senses trouble, immediately shouting, "Tamako! Miss Kujo is asking you! Have you finished your homework?!"
The words work wonders; Kujo Yua, in her lanky ghostly form, turns her head, tiptoes, without making any steps, slowly floats past Fushimi Roku, the living room is quiet and oppressive.
