Eien Foster, the oldest son of Foster couple, took a heavy sigh as he stood up from his seat making his way through the floor length glass window. His eyes gazed outside where a light rain pours down to the green lawn. His left hand touches the glass window, he clutched his fist as he bit his lower lip that causes it to bleed.

A couple of knocks he heard from his doubled door, he turned and saw his younger brother, Rei Foster, came in. He have a hazel nut hair, and a deep cerulean eyes, he is tall and fair skinned like his older brother. They almost look the same, except Eien has a raven hair, a light green eyes, and his features are a lot more sharper.

Rei took a few steps.

"It's almost time, I see"- Eien said as he smiled like he always do in front of people . Rei stared at him and looked away with worry written all over his face. " What's wrong, Rei?"

"Brother"- Rei placed his right hand on his nape, like he always do whenever he feels uncertain. "Do you think. . . Will this be alright?"

"It will be alright, Rei. . . Probably"

"'Probably'? So you're not sure"

"I've done everything with my own power, Rei. With my own abilities. Plus you had helped me with this project, so it'll be alright. It'll almost be perfect as long as no one will tries to jeopardize. I've been doing something like this ever since we were still little, and you should know best and by now what I'm capable of"

"I know, but this is. . . I'm just concerned of what she will feel when the day comes that she finds out about this"

"That. . . I'll never let that to happen. She must not find out about this. Or else, it'll be the end of everything"- his voice, Eien's voice, weakened as his gaze dropped to the ground trying to hold his tears. He smiles bitterly as he gaze back to now bothered Rei. " Please, Rei. This is the only way that I can think of. Like me, you'll also do everything, anything for her sake,right?"

Rei went silent for a second. He took a sigh and answered "Alright,brother. This is all for her"

At the school, a girl with a long waving brown hair, petite body and paled skinned, were her head rests on her palms with her elbows leaning on the window sill. Her innocent hazel eyes gazed down on the students playing outside the open field. The wind blew her hair softly, she took a gentle breath as she smiles faintly

"What a peaceful day"- she uttered to herself.

Suddenly, she as if heard an urge of silence. Everyone, everything around her as if stopped from moving, or more like moves way too slow. She heard a slow-paced echoes of footsteps approaching her from behind. She tried to turn around, but she as if match the pace around her, too slow to control. When she finally made her turn, she saw a man approaching her and now only a few feet afar from her. He wears their uniform topped with a long black coat hanging from his shoulders, he have a gentle smiled on his face, yet his facial features are vague to her sight. Still, she recognize him well, and even uttered his name. But somehow, she cannot hear her own voice.

" This world feels so real, don't you think? "- he spoke normally, as if the slowness around them did not affect him. "The students, the teachers, the breeze you feel, the food you eat and drink. Oh hoh~! even the sensation of touching a chair feels as if holding the real thing"- he said amusedly.

He came closer to her as he gently wrapped his arms around her waist, he leaned his head over her shoulder as he smelt the sweet fragrance of strawberries. " You even feels so real, smells so real. . . Hey, when are you going to wake up?"

Yume woke up from her sleep. It was just a dream, but then it felt so real. Grr, I felt some goosebumps - she thought. Everything that happened to her dream feel so real, as if it really did happened. Yet she cannot remember the face of the man, and even the name she uttered. Only the last words that he said

"When are you going to wake up?"

Well, I'm already awake. So what now? - she thought.
