An empty hallway, a door, a familiar apartment. The bedroom was dark, broken glasses scattered all over the floor, the lights were dull, the room was awfully quiet. A laptop was placed on a desk, multiple cans of beer. A figure appeared sitting in the chair in front of the desk. His hands were covering his eyes as he was sitting restless. It was none other than Kento. The man who witnessed his death. He was rubbing his eyes, he leaned towards the desk and started searching something in the laptop. His fingers running through the keyboard like lightning, "Where are you?" —he whispered. What was he looking for? Kento opens a site, types something and closes it in frustration. He couldn't get what he was looking for, but he gets more and more stuff that was related to his case. He opens a new site, his eyes squeezed a bit as he was reading about missing reports. A man who recently went missing near a train station. A girl who got missing without any traces. He closed the site and then visits another one, Kento now opened a site about paranormal activity. He takes a beer can and sips a bit, he clicks on a file and an article appears in front of him. Three months ago a well-known businessman died in his mansion, when the police investigated the matter they found nothing, but rumours have it that the man was possessed that night. Kento was reading all this stuff but he didn't look satisfied. The thing he was looking for was nowhere. Kento leans back and says—"Are you really a ghost, Shiro?"
Kento's eyes were getting blurry and he almost fell asleep. All of a sudden he heard knocking on the door. His eyes became alive and sharp. He didn't make any sudden moves, he gets up slowly and fetches a knife from the closet. He heard another knocking, he now makes his way to the door. Kento stopped midway, he looks at his chest and recalls the memory of what happened previously. Without any further thoughts he reached for the door lock. "Who's there?" —Kento asks. No reply comes from the other side. Kento's grip tightened on the knife. He asks again—"Who's there?" This time a voice came from the other side saying—"Is that you Kento?" A voice of a female. Kento answers, "Yes! Who are you?" "If you let me in I will answer all of your questions." Kento doesn't say anything, he doesn't answer, he simply stands there. "Including what happened between you and Shiro" —the lady says. Simply by hearing it Kento opens the door in a hurry. As soon as Kento opens it, his eyes looked troubled, his curiosity skyrocketed just by hearing it. "Who are you? How do you know Shiro? Tell me" —Kento asks her. The lady was wearing a pretty and proper dress, a coat and a hat. Her eyes were crimson red, her face was looking calm and unpredictable as she smiled and says—"Good evening Kento Akari, my name is Ema Yui." Kento steps back and Ema enters the house. Kento looks around and closes the door as they both entered.
Ema and Kento are sitting face to face. The room was awfully quiet. Kento was looking at Ema without a single blink. Ema on the other hand was looking around. Broken glasses scattered around in a corner of the room, empty beer cans, the laptop still open showing the running tabs on them. Ema looks around for a minute and then says—"I see you have changed a lot." Kento seems frustrated, his face looked annoyed and curious, he asks—"So who is Shiro?" Ema looks at him and smiles. "Tell me who is he?" —Kento asks again. "Is he really this important to you?" —Ema says. Kento was losing his patience. "Why are you looking for him? Is he a friend, a family member? You only saw him for ten minutes in total. So why are you looking for him Kento?" —Ema says. Kento's face looked annoyed and he seems to be a bit thoughtful this time. Why is he looking for someone as dangerous and mysterious. Ema's words made sense but Kento couldn't understand anything. Ema then says—"Are you looking for him in curiosity because of that incident or do you seek revenge against him?" Kento looks at Ema and realised why was he doing all this? Why was he looking for a ghost? Kento says—"I don't know why. All I know is I want to find him. I was dead, I know it. Then why? And how? I just want to know why me." Kento looks at Ema and Ema doesn't say anything. Her face was totally unpredictable.
The silence took over the room, no sound, no words spoken, only two souls existing. Kento looks outside of the window, Ema was looking at him and says—"So why are you doing this?" Kento looks at her and says—"Doing what?" Ema locks her eyes at him and asks—"He told you that he will kill you right? Then why?" Kento looks at her but doesn't say anything. Ema stands up and says—"Well I guess our conversation is done here, I should leave." Kento looks at her and says—"Wait, what's a system?" Ema turns back and looks at him before saying anything. Kento steps forward and says—"Tell me what's that?" Ema doesn't say anything, doesn't flinch. Ema looks at him and says—"Did he mention it?" "Yes" —Kento replies. Ema doesn't say anything to him. She keeps quiet. Kento on the other hand doesn't say anything as well. Ema sits down and takes her hat off. Her black hair was swinging around. Kento asks—"What's a system?" Ema looks at him and leans back. She looks outside of the window and says—"The system is something I myself don't understand, all I know it's evil." Kento sits in the chair and says—"So is Shiro a part of the system?" Ema looks at him and tilts her head a bit and says—"Even I don't know what he truly is." Kento stood up and says—"What's a system?" His voice echoes through the room. Ema looks at him. She sees a frustrated look on his face. A look of a man who is desperate for answers. Why would a boy seek answers which might bring death to his door? "If you really want to know what the system is then allow me to show you a quick look of its powers" —Ema says. Her voice hits him deep in the spine. Ema then reaches her hand towards Kento and says—"You want the truth right,let me show you." Kento's mind recalled those memories back. The memories of drowning. His mind was filled with curiosity, his heartbeat skyrocketed. Kento started moving towards her. "The truth is here Kento" —Ema whispers.
Without any second thoughts, Kento holds her hand.
