Chapter 29 - An imaginary friend
[Kurumi's POV/THE PRESENT]:
I sprung from my bed, screaming so loud that I probably woke up the whole neighborhood. I tried to get up quickly, gasping for air, but my leg got stuck in the blankets, and I fell on the ground, shaking. "NO! NO! PLEASE! I DIDN'T KILL YOU! I DIDN'T KILL YOU! IT NEVER HAPPENED! NEVER!"
I hysterically screamed until it became silent sobs. I buried my head into the floor. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'M SORRY! Please, please, please, no..."
"You can't forget the past. And what you did." A voice above me said. I raised my head. There she stood again, Shinshu. I pulled myself into sit and backed away from her. "Not you! You made me do terrible things!"
"Oh, did I?" The girl smiled. "Maybe, maybe... Just remember. Why you did what you did."
"NO! NO MORE!"
"Don't you remember how you met me?" Shinshu smiled. "Don't you remember?"
