I Am The Lord Thy God (1)

The epitome of suspense pealed in my ears.

Haunting tones, a mix of strings, percussion and piano sounded to only my own perception.

Alongside such a backdrop, that girl with eye-catching pink hair brought all the attention in the room onto herself, the visage of a certain Protagonist naturally overlapping in my mind.

Of course, when I paid a closer look, the resemblance was not anything more than that.

Not only was the shade of pink one, two, or perhaps a few tones darker, but her eyes, which gleamed bright yellow like the beads of a snake, were also distinct.

'Jeez... I need to calm down.'

...It hadn't even been that long, but I was already seeing illusions.

Furthermore, the expression of this one, who successfully gathered everyone's eyes and who wore the same gothic attire as both myself and each one of those eyes' owners, was, when I realised, different from anything that girl would ever bear.
