Unfortunate Encounter

Where am I? Although I circled around, hoping to find something I recognized, still, only unfamiliar things were visible.

This place was too dimly lit for a young wolf like me to see. Uncle Ray used to say that a young wolf's vision was still weak, so it couldn't be seen clearly in the dark.

But wolves were nocturnal creatures. Darkness was like a friend. However, I didn't realize other nocturnal creatures existed in this world. Just like Uncle Ray used to say.

"You've come to your senses, apparently," said someone from... who knows where. I couldn't find it anywhere. But I recognized that voice. I finally remembered him. The Mysterious Man.

Was he here?

Was it time for us to meet?

"You—where are you?" I asked instead of asking where I was. "Are we meeting now? Can I see you already?"

"Tsk! How should I say it? It was supposed to be today, but it seems like something happened, so you lost some memory of me."
