"What has happened to them?"

"Um... see for yourself." Satoru, having taken a breath, pressed his hand again on the old telephone, and the screens of the TV and laptop in the room flickered to life once more.

This time, images began to emerge.

On the TV in the room—

The background seemed to be night.

The surrounding environment was blurred.

One could only see the sky as black as spilled ink, with a fierce wind howling.

Two figures stood in the very center of the screen.

The shapes and appearances of both were somewhat vague and distorted, making them difficult to discern clearly.

But, just as with things seen in a dream, sometimes when one is dreaming, one might not be able to discern the specific appearance of the "person" in the dream, but will nonetheless know exactly who that "person" is.

The moment Kamiyagawa saw these two blurred figures, he recognized them.

It was himself and Onizuka Little Miko on the screen.
