Everything Seems Strange to a Newcomer Part I

“Fern… Fern, wake up… We are here.”

Nurse Koi's call woke her niece, sleeping in a cab when both were entering the new school's frontier. Fern was awakened with her heart that started to race as soon as she recalled images she had recently seen. Her face was glimmered with a sheen of sweat until the aunt couldn't help but ask.

“Are you okay, Fern? Oh my, you are still shocked by the incident this morning, aren't you? So am I… It’s so strange why four people were dead in a peculiar way in the same elevator at the same time. Recently, a handful of staff weirdly died in my hospital. It's so common to encounter ghosts as if they are also a patient there. I wonder if I should push for the hospital to hold a big merit event.”

The nurse was grumbling while Fern was sitting still and thinking about the haunting images of the four dead victims that she couldn’t get out of her head.
