Ilaya entered her room and she looked around the place. She checked under the bed, closet, and the bathroom. Only then did she began to calm down.
Her journey on her way home is just like the other time, calming and relaxing when all of a sudden, she suddenly feels cold and a jolt runs through her spine. She feels like her skin is like being pricks with needles
She abruptly turned, looked at the direction that she felt where the source was, and felt a malice coming from the direction of the park. She peered at the base of the trees in the distance but couldn't see anything because of the shadows covering inside of the park.
As she concentrated to try and peered at the darkness under the covers of trees, a faint murmur echoed in her mind and her head started to hurt. Her sense of hearing, smell, and touch began to get sharper, as the faint murmur in her mind got stronger as well.
She frowned from the headache and closed her eyes. She then tries to make her mind empty and think nothing else. Then, her body gradually returns to normal. She then turned around and go to her place right away
Now, Ilaya sat in her bed and analyzing the event at the park.
What happened? I was just walking home, then I suddenly sensed a danger. I looked at the park where my intuition was pointing to. I did see a faint figure in the distance and tried to focus my vision on the figure. But then, I heard.. or felt a faint whisper in my head. Then, my other senses became focused too and the whispers in my head got stronger and louder
Ilaya continue to think, she's still a little rattled at her experience just now
"Whisper and murmurs, huh?"
She remembered that this feeling occurred to her when she first woke up in the street. The horn of cars is too strong for her ears, the calming breeze is like a wind blade cutting her skin, and the smell all around her is unbearably mix of all kinds of odor.
As she woke up on the street, didn't she also see a vision? And a noise of steel clashing and voices? She thought that it was just the effects of pain and having just woken up. Now however, because of what happened to her just now, she finally notices her abnormality and the weirdness of her body.
She then got up from sitting in her bed and headed towards the corner to pick up her backpack. She takes her notepad and pen, then goes to the table and sits at the chair. She begun to think and writes
- First, the sense of danger.
- Second, the senses of my body go hyperactive when I focus at least one of my senses.
- Third, whenever one of my six senses turned hyperactive, my ears and mind picked up a faint whisper, a voice. Then, the voices in my mind goes stronger when my body's senses went out of control
Ilaya put her pen down and studied her writings
"The first one is concerning, I definitely felt a danger and malice directed to me, so, is there someone that wants me dead? But I didn't do anything"
She then thinks of a possible motive of someone wanting her dead. Then remember the time that she goes to the old house in the territory of the Yakuza.
'Is the spy of other gangs thought of me as a member of the Yakuza? But the only one I talked to in that place was Yamato. I have a hunch that Yamato is also a spy, but it's just that, a hunch. So I can't be sure'
So that's that, someone is out to kill me. Even though I want to shout "It's not me! I'm innocent!" is not going to cut out. I can only be vigilant of my surroundings.
The next thing is my six senses, since intuition is also included in my list since I've only found the threat to my life thanks to my intuition. And I'm not only saying that because I want to, but because the moment I sense the killing intent, the faint whispers in my mind return.
It's just like when my sixth sense rings a bell when it discovers a threat to my life. The whispers in my head are like an alert system that sends a notification to the five senses. Then the five senses turned active and went into hyperactive mode.
Of course, I'm very confused as to why my body goes like this. And the whispers in my head are especially concerning, I've already got amnesia! Don't tell me I also have schizophrenia!? That's too much!
"Sigh... I hope I don't have any more mental illness"
Ilaya then looked the the third sentence at her notepad
"The voices in my head. The first time I've heard the voices, visions and scenes flashed in my mind too. But now, there's no more flashbacks, only the audio remains. Hmmm.."
Ilaya then crumpled the paper and threw it in the trashcan. She then looked at her watch
"8:30pm now, I've got a busy day tomorrow so I'll better go to bed early"
She then gets up and rummages in her backpack and gets her clothes. She separates the clothes that need washing and the new clothes that's ready to be used. She then takes the dirty clothes and puts it in a shopping bag that she kept.
She picks up the unwashed undies that she had used and a detergent that she bought yesterday then heads to the bathroom. She plans to wash her underwear and put it in the window to dry after she finished her bath.
'It's a little uncomfortable and embarrassing to put my undies in the window for all to see, but I've got no choice. It's not like I can include my undies into my clothes that I'll bring to the laundry shop! Nope! No way!'
Ilaya then washed her body and her under garments. When she finished washing both her body and her undies, she gets busy putting on her clothes and putting the washed underwear out the window. When she was sure that her underwear was not going to fly off to spread its wings for all to see, she closed her window and went to bed.
She laid down and looked at the switch of the light. She always sleeps with lights closed, but today, she decided to leave it on
