Boy: ...I can hear a song. It feels like...I've known it for a long time. Distant, familiar...a tone I can no longer recall.



Boy: ..........Where am I...?



Boy: ...Red...flowers...



Boy: .......




Boy: .......Who?

???: ..........It's fine, if it's you.



Boy: ...Who are you?

???: .......




Boy: .......



Boy: ..........I...



Boy: ..........A fox...?



???: ..........Oooooi. Hey, Yueeeee~?



Yue: ..........Eh...?

???: Hey, you okay? It's dangerous to suddenly space out like that, in a place like this.

Yue: ...Huh, I......why...?

???: Oi, oi, are you seriously still half asleep~? You need to stop falling asleep standing like that, you could fall.

Yue: ..........Uuhh...

???: Come on, I only snuck you out here 'cause you wanted me to, you can't just suddenly space out like that...

Yue: ...Aah...oh... Is that right...

???: Huh!? ...Geez, are you really okay? Should we just go back?



Yue: No, I'm fine, Kurogitsune. ...It's just, when we came here, it felt like I suddenly remembered something.

Kurogitsune: What do you mean, remembered something?

Yue: .......



Kurogitsune: ...Yue?

Yue: Mm...a dream. ...Probably.

Kurogitsune: A dream— so you came here and immediately started dreaming.

Yue: That's right. In broad daylight, right here.

Kurogitsune: Idiot, don't make fun of me! Anyway, it's not broad daylight, it's already evening!

Yue: Oh, that's right. ...That's why we came.

Kurogitsune: Look, a bunch of people are gathering too. ...Today's the festival.



Yue: ...Festival...



Yue: .......

Kurogitsune: ...Yue? Hey, you sure you're okay?



Yue: .......I'm fine. ...It was a dream.

Kurogitsune: ...Eh?

Yue: ...It's nothing. Anyway, let's get going.



Yue: ...Soon, it'll be time for our meal.
