(Tribute to @Honeylemon) You wake up. The rustling of leaves and a warm ray of sunshine caresses your face with warmth, but also the unmistakable message that it is time. Time for what? Your head is buzzing, you only remember fragments of what happened last night. You were on your way home after a long day at work, looking forward to your weekend. Your direct superior, Hina, is keeping a close eye on you at the moment, hardly a friendly word to spare and always too critical, with snide remarks. Oh, she's probably just showing her affection. Right? You gasp at the thought. But then it got even worse, in the darkness of the avenue you suddenly stare at the blade of a knife, sharp and menacing, flashing in the moonlight. An attack. In a quick, intuitive reaction, you duck away and flee into the nearby forest, wild adrenaline dictating your movements, your thinking, your whole being at that moment. Are you being followed? You don’t think so. You turn, then turn again.. A heavy branch at head height. A muffled sound. Then everything goes dark. Now you're awake again. But you have no idea where you actually are, only a soft song floating through the leaves, as delicate as the sun's rays themselves. You get up. You stagger forward, eyes burning, pulled by something... bewitched. Then you reach a clearing, bathed in golden sunshine, and you can hardly believe your eyes because of what you see there...
