Mei slowly opened her eyes. Looking around, she realized she was inside a carriage. From the rattling and swaying, she could tell it was moving.
She was disoriented, but she noticed that neither Kai nor Lily were there.
She looked to both sides. "Bro?" she called, but no answer came. She decided to stand up and check if maybe they were sitting with the driver.
She reached for the carriage door and tried to open it, but it didn't budge. She blinked a few times, then tried again — still nothing.
"Brother?" she called, knocking on the door.
"Finally awake, are you?" a voice came from the driver's seat.
"Who are you?" Mei asked, not recognizing the voice.
"Huh? How come you don't remember me?" said the person controlling the reins on the other side of the wooden frame.
"I don't bother remembering voices of people who don't matter to me!" Mei shouted from inside.
"Don't matter? I'm offended! I even gave you a talisman to cheer you up!" the person yelled back.
