(Time : 2:10 am)
A girl is waiting for someon at the park. She has here sitting there for a long time, After a while, a boy came up to her. As soon as she saw him, she ran and hugged him. A tall, fair boy with brown hair.
Suddenly Shino wake up with a start she had seen another dream.
Before the fatigue of one dream wore off, the next one started to hunt her. Because of the dream she saw again, she couldn't fall back sleep. Her mind wouldn't agree to lie down again Thinking she wouldn't just wash her her face, she got up and went to the bathroom, and opened the tap she started splashing the cold water onto her face to cool her self down.
"Shino!!..."
Someone called her in a low voice. She turned, thinking it would be Nancy, but there way no one. She thought it might be her imagination and started washing her face again. Again, the same voice, as if someone way calling right next to her ear. A suppressed voice, Shino started to feel a little afraid. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around no one. Suppressing the fear within, she started washing her face again.
"Shino!!". again the same voice
"No, this is just my imagination again, just an illusion",. Shino started to reassure her mind. She squeezed her eyes, shut. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and removed the hand covering her ear:, now she wasn't hearing any sound. Relieved, Shino tried to turn to go out, but she couldn't, her feel were looted to the floor as if stuck. Unable to move, she was frozen there. Shino couldn't understand what was happening to her again.
The entire bathroom now started to feel cold like a freezer. An unbearable coldness began to spread through Shino's body. Her tongue wouldn't even move to let out a scream. Her whole body started to freeze from the cold and even the breath coming out was like cold smoke. It was then that the frightened Shino saw it. In the mirror in front of her, it looked like someone was coming towards her from the darkness in the corner behind her. Someone was coming closed, closer from the darkness. Her heartbeat started to quicken. The figure that came close reflected it's face in the mirror. Seeing that face, her heart stopped for a moment. The girl with the missing face blood was continuesly flowing downwards. Shino, trembling with feal, couldn't move even an inch away from it. Tears streamed down from her eyes. The figured moved close to her ear. A cold, chilling breath hit her neck.
"Shino!!"
The low voice was heard in Shino's ear. The dream came again. The child sitting in the park, the boy who came looking for her, both going some where ,
"Shino.. Save me "
The figure said to her. Without understanding what was happening around her, Shino suddenly fell down. The surrounding coldness disappointed, and things returned to normal. But dreams kept flashing before her eyes. Again, the old dream: "The girl seen at the railway station, a boy with her. He is taking her somewhere. Another girl sitting in the park, the same boy with her, he is talking her somewhere too. Both scenes appeared before her eyes simultaneously. Suddenly, both girls looked towards Shino.
"Shino..., what you saw is the truth.."
Everything started to disappeared at onec. Shino, regaining consciousness, got up and ran out suddenly,Shino rushed out of the room and went outside. Seeing her leave without paying attention to either of them, they started to follow her.
"Shino... stop, where are you going?"..
Nancy called out loudly, asking. But she did not reply. In the rain, Shino quickly headed straight for the park. Nancy and Devic reached there right behind here. She went sitting however, there was no one there. She ran around and searched everywhere. She was looking for someone in all parts of the park.
"What, is she doing?". Devic asked to Nancy.
"Doctor, i came with you, didn't i? How would i know?!".(nancy)
"Ohh... I'm... Sorry"(devic).
In that rain, she searched for someone all over the park, but no one was there.
"No....!!!!No....!!".
She sat down on the ground, saying to herself.
"What happened?". Nancy shook her and ask.
"It shouldn't happened like that again." She started muttering to no one in particular.
"Shino..."
Nancy shook her head
"Missing,. Another girl i has gone missing again". Nancy looked at her in shook.
"What?".
"Yes, another murder"
"Murder??" Devic asked.
"Yes, again..." Shino said firmly.
"Shino, what are you saying, another murder?"(Nancy)
"Yes, a girl. It's the same boy. The one who took the girl who went missing at the station the day, it's him..."(shino)
They couldn't believe what Shino was saying.
"Shino,. Who are you talking about? Who went missing, which boy?". (devic)
"Doctor, it might be difficult for you to believe what i'm saying, is the truth"(shino).
"Okey. Everything you said was true. But how about this that you are a saying now?"(devic).
Shino stood watching, unavailable to say anything.
"Shino, what you're seeing is correct. But how did you know what i you are saying now?"(nancy).
"Nancy, i saw it in my dream. That boy, he is the one committing the murders"(shino)
"What?" Devic and nancy were left staring blankly.
" i saw him with that girl at the station that day, and later she was murdered. Now here!!"(shino).
Suddenly, she started getting a headache, a pain that was unbearable and blood started coming from her nose.
She couldn't stand straight. Seeing Shino's condition change,Nancy started to panic. Shino lost control and started to fall to the ground.
"Shino!!". Nancy held her and supported her.
"Doctor!!".
Seeing Nancy's helplessness, he couldn't say anything. They took her back to the room, he gave her the necessary medications but condition was getting worse.
Unable to bear her condition, Nancy went outside.
"Nancy "... Nancy was sobbing. Overwhelmed by sorrow, she started crying uncontrollably.
"Nancy.., her condition is not heel us fear. Don't worry". (devic).
"Doctor, i can't take it. I saw her in this same condition once before. And again now, Even then, she was like a maniac. All because of this dream of her".(nancy).
Devic could not say anything in the face of Nancy's distress.
"I can't do anything about this, Nancy even medicine can't do anything"(devic)
Nancy looked at him.
"She has some special characteristics.. I mean something special"(devic)
"Reason"(nancy)
"The reason is. What she said that day, which we dismissed as a lie, later turned out to be true. So we can't dismiss this as a lie either" (devic).
He took a badge from his pocket and showed it to her.
"Who is this?". Nancy examined the badge.
"I found this in that park"(devic).
[Mariam].
"Mariam".(nancy)
"Yes, Mariam, if my guss is right, this is the girl Shino is talking about who aren't missing. But given her this badge is not a good decision, her current condition, i can't show her this"(devic).
He put the badge away, certain that her condition would worsen.
Shino was still under sedation. Nancy, who came in to the room, took and lookef at the picture in the box near her from within it, she found the address.
"Doctor.."(nancy)
"Yes"(devic)
"Wasn't it at this address that you found Shino unconscious" she showed him the address.
"Yes" (devic)
"Both times you found her in that state here, wasn't it"(nancy).
"Yes, what are you trying to say?"(devic).
Devic looked at nancy suspicious.
"Shall we go and check there? Maybe we will get some evidence?"(nancy)
"What evidence"(devic)
"Doctor, shino is the one who gets sick when she goes there not us "(Nancy)
"What do you mean, nancy?"(devic)
"Nothing will happened to anyone if anyone if other than her goes. So, doctor, why don't yoi go and check?"(nancy)
He was started Nancy's question.
"Nancy. Just became i helped you're friend, you are putting me in harm's way?"(devic)
"You are a man, right! Then what's the problem?"(nancy)
"For that matter, you are a women, aren't you? Why don't you go?"(devic).
"Are yoi scared, Doctor?"(nancy).
"No, not scared, but what is it?"(devic)
While the two of them were arguing outside, Something was happening to Shino, who was lying in the room.
Something like a white smoke started entering the room. She began to feel cold in her body. Shino's mind suddenly took her back to her past.
Shino entered a house. There was no one inside, she looked around, no one. Suddenly, she heard a noise upstairs, someone speaking loudly. She slowly climbed the stair's. Someone was hurting someone else, and the person being hurt was hurt wae crying loudly. Slowly, she reached the front of the door and stood before the door. Inside the room were her father and mother, Her father was severely abusing her mother. The women was crying, having fallen to thr floor in pain.
"Sara, you are a lunatic. My life has been ruined because of your madnesse"
He said angrily.
The women couldn't speak. Suddenly, he opened the door and came out. Frightened, Shino hid behind the door. He looked into the darkness for a moment and then left.
Shino entered the room.
Seeing Sara, Shino ran and hugged her. Sara was locked, leaving woundes all over her legs. The women's condition was very bad, she held Shino tightly.
"Mom" shino brust into tears.
She cried as if her heart was breaking.
"Shino.."
Sara slowly lifted her face towards her own.
"Why are you suffering so much, mom!
Shouldn't we escape frome here? Shino's eyes were overflowing with tears.
"Whenever i go from here, my condition might happen to you towards, but never let that discourage you. Never dismiss it as your imagination."
Sara's words deeply hurts Shino.
"Maybe iam not a person like the others. But i will never hurt you, Shino.
If there is no one to understand or believe us, we will crumble in any situation. Even in this pain, i find solace in one thing. Everyone rejected me, but you did not reject me..
Shino..., never consider this condition your curse. We are different, butnot in a bad way,
Rather, we are seeing another person's pain full state. Maybe we can't save every one. But we can save at least one person,. And that is what makes us different from others Shino.
My child... In this world where there are people who see another's pain and ignore it, if we have received this power, it is not a curse. My child, it id a blessing. If we can take a painful person by thr hand and bring them out of that pain. There is no greater blessing than that, my child.
I don't care about those who call me crazy because iam somehow superior to them, and that's why i received this. You also shouldn't lose heart in this condition."
Even she said all this, the samile on the women's face was not fading, and tears continued to flow form her eyes.
She longed to nurture and raise her own child with love and affection, happily, life everyone else. That flashed in her eyes. Shino held her mother close to her heart.
"Shino"..
Sara called her softly.
Sara's loving voice greatly weakened her.
"Mom.. What is happening to me? Iam becoming like you".
Shino brust into tears.
"Shino"
Sara looked at her face.
"You are never a lunatic, and yoi aren't crazy. We understand you. No matter what anyone says, you should not let your mind break. Among the people i have seen, you are the only one who has not dismissed the truth as wrong. Belived in yourself, my child".
Shino hugged her mom tightly.
"Mom i miss you so much, mom, i feel so lonely"
"You are never alone, only the physical from of me has left you my love is always with you. I will only reach you now as love and care. Shino.. You are not alone, there are minds on this earth that care for you must try to see that".
She started to fade away from her.
" No... n... No.. Mom, don't go"
Shino tried to hold sara tightly. But sara vanished from her.
"Mom!!!!!"
Shino opened her eyes with a stair, she saw now in her bed.
"Shino what happened" Nancy held her close.
She hugged nancy tightly.
"Shino.. Don't be afraid, iam here nothing will happened to you "
Nancy's words remained her of Sara. She hugged Nancy tightly.
"Shino... Don't be afraid, no one will do anything to you. Iam here"
Nancy lifted Shino's face and held it toward her, saying
"I know you will never lie. You are not crazy either. I believe what you are saying"
Nancy now spoke the same words to her that Sara had spoken.
At the same time, Devic went to the address Nancy mentioned. It was raining heavily outside it hadn't stopped yet. There were continues thunder and lighting. He went alone to the building. In the darkness, the building would frighten anyone. He walked towards it. He had found Shino here both times. And that too from the back of the building. So he suspicion was there. He went behind the building. Since the construction materials were scattered around. Half the area was overgrown with weeds. As the rain intesified, large raindrops began to obscure his vision. He reached the spot where she had fallen.
He through examined everything there. But there was nothing worth mentioning. Still, he walked forward. That's when he saw that shed, seeing the place, she also felt suspicious. Devic had no trouble as be approached it. When he reached the shed, he checked all around it. He didn't find much. But even when he went inside. It was the same, he couldn't see anything clearly. When he checked the area with the light of his phone, there was nothing there only old construction materials. Devic, who was about to leave go out when he found nothing,. Then he saw it, something shining a midst. The materials, Devic picked it upnand examined it. It was a necklace a necklace with a special kind of locket.
"What.. Is this thing., how did it get here?"
Just as Devic turned to leave, someone unexpectedly attached him. He was punched in the nose and fell to the ground, losing control because it was so sudden. He couldn't figure out who attacked him in the
dark. Again, that person climbed on top of him and started attacking. That person wanted the necklace realizing this, Devic held onto it tightly. He fought back, Devic attacked the person with a construction material lying nearby, injuring their shoulder.
Even though he stumbled from a moment, that person also attacked him back. Fiercely that person grabbed hold of the necklace in devic's hand. Finally that person pushed Devic away, and ran out of the shed. Before leaving, he had see that person's eyes:
" Bright, Amber -colored eyes. " He got up and ran after them, but the person had left the area. However, a part of the locket from the necklace remained in Devic's hand.
"Sh*t... He escaped"...
(Time :12:17 am)
A girl is tied to a chair in an abandon room. Someone brutally abused her. All her clothes have been moved.
Candles are arranged all around andlit on stands. The girl's body is covered with wounds, clotted blood is sticking here and there on her body. She is tied up so she cannot escape. After a while, someone entered the room. He was wearing a black pant's, no shirt. A young man.
He walked and stood in front of the candle light. He took one of the candless and titled it towards the girls chest. Unable to bear the pain, the girl started to cry. A smile on his lips
"He was enjoying it"
"No!!!"
Suddenly, shino opened her eyes with a start, Nancy was sleeping soundly nearby.
"What did i see?., who is he?.,
Why does he come into my dream??.., who is he hurting??.., and why?...,,,"...
"Shino." Nancy gently woke her up. Slowly opening her eyes, Shino saw Nancy standing, ready to leave.
"Shino, I'm leaving, I have work. You can come over there a little later, I'll talk to the boss."
Nancy went back home. Davis still stayed there to keep her company.
After a while, Shino woke up and came out of the room.
"Doctor." She woke up Davis, who was sitting exhausted outside, by gently tapping him.He really couldn't walk properly. Noticing this, Shino stopped him.
"Doctor, what happened to you?"
"Oh, that's because I went to that park last night."
He didn't tell her anything that had happened.
"This dress is all dirty, I'll give you another one."
She took a hoodie from the cupboard and gave it to him to wear. It was when he went to the bathroom to change his clothes that he saw it a mark on the side of his stomach. It looked like someone had made a deep cut. As he gently touched it, the pain started.
"Ahhh."
"Doctor... what happened?" Shino asked from outside.
"Oh, nothing."
Changing his clothes, he came out and saw Shino looking at someone's photograph.
"Shino..." He gently tapped her to get her attention.
Turning around, she placed the photo on the desk.
Shino's eyes were filled with tears.
"Shino... what happened?"
Seeing Shino's eyes full of tears, he inquired.
"Nothing, Doctor."
Suddenly, he saw the photo she had placed on the desk.
"Who is this?"
He asked, looking at the photo.
"That is... my mother."
The photo was of Shino and her mother.
"Oh, okay."
"Doctor, what is it that you want to know about me?"
Shino turned towards Davis.
"I heard that you asked Nancy about wanting to know some things about me."
Nancy had told her everything.
"Don't tell her that I told you. What is it that the Doctor wants to know?"
She looked at Davis.
"I wanted to know about your condition. I have already learned a bit about it," he said, picking up the photo of her and her mother that was on the desk. "Is there anything else the Doctor wants to know?"
"What happened to your mother?" he asked while looking at the photo.
"Did the same thing happen to your mother too?" She was shocked by his question. "What?" "Shino, you understand what I meant, then why are you pretending not to know?" Davis sat in front of her.
She said nothing and kept looking down at the floor.
"Shino,"
He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I understand the condition you are currently going through. I am here to help you."
As she listened to Davis's words, a sense of trust began to build up in her again.
She started to open up to him.
"Doctor, it's only been a few years since I came here. I've had problems with these kinds of dreams before. Once, I even attempted suicide, just to end everything. But it was Nancy who saved me from that and brought me back." Listening to her talk, he kept looking at her.
"How did it start before this?"
She sighed and then spoke.
"It... once, when I was coming back after a treatment, a girl bumped into me and walked away. I hadn't really paid attention to who she was. But that night, I started having some kind of dreams. At first, I didn't pay attention, thinking they were just dreams. But!!"
She paused...,
"But... what happened?"
Davis asked.
"This started happening to my mother when I was quite young. My mother couldn't raise me the way other mothers raise their children. Because of this problem, my mother was kept away from me."
Her sadness was evident in her word's.
"Every night I used to hear my mother's screams as she woke up with a start. Back then, no one believed the many things Mother saw, not even Father, whom she loved the most. He joined everyone else in calling her crazy and abusing her. At the time, when I saw that, I didn't know that same condition would come upon me. Once, I had asked my mother what all of this was..."
She paused.
"What is it?" Devi asked.
"saw it as a disease, but this is not a disease. It is a gift that makes us different from others. It might be hard to believe when you hear it, but this is the truth. This started with my grandmother, and back then, many people used this as an ability and found solutions to many problems. Later, those who became the targets of this power named this ability 'madness.' Many who were with us joined them. First, my grandmother, then my mother, and from my mother to me. I was scared seeing Mother's condition. I tried hard to rescue Mother and leave, but Mother didn't agree to come. She was afraid that because of her, I would be in danger. I escaped from there and came here. It was later that I learned Mother had died. That was the moment I became alone in this world. I lost everything, and it came to me from my aunt. My mind started to go wrong; people were being killed in the exact manner I saw in my dreams. Their faces, the guilt of hiding the truth after seeing it, the feeling that they are always coming near me... Fed up with everything, I decided to die, escaped from that situation, and came to your hospital," she burst into tears.
"Who should I tell, Doctor? No matter who I tell, they'll call me crazy and ostracize me. I didn't know what to do. Even while undergoing treatment, this problem continued, and finally, fed up with everything, I stopped the treatment. For a while, things were normal, without any issues. But then it started again when the next girl went missing." He listened intently to the things she was saying.
"i was becoming isolated in every problem. Only Nancy and you have believed me so far. All this time, I had been afraid and kept my distance."
Nancy looked at him, as if confirming something.
"The one who killed everyone is a man. I saw him in all the murders."
"Who?"
"I'm not exactly sure, Doctor."
Even as she said everything, he realized that some emotion was hiding within her.
"You miss your mother, don't you?" he asked, picking up the photo.
After looking at it silently for a while, she said,
"I won't say no. How can I say that?" Her eyes welled up. "Mother was the only person I had in this world, I miss her a lot. Only Mother's form has left me; that love is still with me."
"So, you don't have these relationships..." Hearing his question, she just smiled.
"Never. If anyone knows I have a condition like this, they will sideline me and call me crazy, just like my mother. Anyone who comes to love me will have many expectations, won't they?" He kept looking at her.
"Doctor, do you need to know anything more?"
He looked at her but couldn't say anything. Suddenly, the photo he was holding slipped to the floor. As he bent down to pick it up, the wound on his body started to hurt.
"Ahhh"
Seeing that he was in some distress, Shino went closer to him.
"Doctor, are you okay?" Even after standing straight, he couldn't bear the pain.
"Yes, I'm okay."
Realizing that something wasn't right, Shino looked at him closely.
"Doctor, what happened yesterday? Is something going on?"
Unable to tell her what happened, he started to evade.
"What... You know what happened yesterday, don't you? What else?"
Suspecting that he was hiding something, Shino stopped him.
"Doctor, please tell me what happened?"
The moment she held his hand, Shino suddenly started getting a headache again. It felt like her head was splitting.
"Aahhhhh"
Unable to even stand straight, she started panicking, unable to bear the pain.
"Shino..." Devis tried to comfort her.
Shino lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
He was frightened seeing Shino lying unconscious.
"Shino... Hey..." Despite trying to wake her, she didn't open her eyes.
Blood started coming from her nose. As soon as he saw that the situation was getting worse, Devis picked her up and ran outside. He took her in a taxi to another nearby hospital. Even while they were in the taxi, the blood kept flowing from her nose without stopping.
Looking at her face, he felt a heaviness in his heart.
"Shino... Nothing will happen to you," he reassured himself mentally. Deep down, he had a fear that something might happen to her, and the sorrow that she might leave them. He himself was not sure about it.
Tears fell from his eyes onto her face without him realizing it. She was taken inside the hospital for treatment. Every moment he stood outside, it felt like something was burning inside him. A kind of pain. Knowing everything that had happened, Nancy arrived shortly.
"Doctor, what happened?" "What went wrong again? How is Shino now?" He was unable to answer Nancy's questions.
After a while, a doctor came out from inside, and Devis followed him as he walked away without a word.
"Excuse me, Doctor," he called out.
"Yes, what do you need?" he asked back without looking at him.
"I came with the patient inside. I am Dr. Devis."
"Tears fell from his eyes onto her face without him realizing it. She was taken inside the hospital for treatment. Every moment he stood outside, it felt like something was burning inside him. A kind of pain. Knowing everything that had happened, Nancy arrived shortly.
"Doctor, what happened?" "What went wrong again? How is Shino now?" He was unable to answer Nancy's questions.
After a while, a doctor came out from inside, and Devis followed him as he walked away without a word.
"Excuse me, Doctor," he called out.
"Yes, what do you need?" he asked back without looking at him.
"I came with the patient inside. I am Dr. Devis."
"Doctor?"
"Yes, a psychiatrist."
"Okay, Mr. Devis. The patient inside does not have any major problems right now. She will be okay in a few days."
Hearing the doctor's words gave him some relief.
"Does this girl always have this happen?" the doctor asked with suspicion.
"No, it was sudden this time," Devis replied without meeting his gaze.
"Doctor Roy," a nurse called him away from there.
After Roy left, Nancy came near him.
"Doctor, is there any problem?" Nancy asked with a slight suspicion.
"Not at all."
Devis walked forward.
"Nancy, you don't need to stay here anyway. Go back. I will come with Shino."
"That's okay, Doctor..."
"It's alright," he said before Nancy could finish.
He sent Nancy away. A lot of time passed. Shino was alone in the room. Devis was sitting outside. Shino slowly opened her eyes. The room was completely dark. She didn't know she was in a hospital. She had no idea where she was. As she slowly tried to get up from the bed, she felt someone standing in the dark corner across the bed.
She just didn't know who it was.
"Who is it?" she asked with a little fear inside.
"You are the one who most wanted to see me, and now that I have come, you ask who I am?" the person said with a laugh, and the person came into the light from the darkness. Shino's eyes trembled with fear. That boy. This time, she saw his face. She reached the peak of fear. The person she had been searching for all this time was now standing in front of her. Now that he was in front of her, she couldn't do anything.
"Shinova..."
She heard his voice for the first time.
"Why do you want to see me so much, Miss Zerin Shinova?" She was terrified by his question. He gently touched Shino's cheek as she stared in fear.
"Now I also feel like seeing you."
Slowly, he started pulling Shino's face closer to his.
"Nooo!!"
Shino opened her eyes with a start. She couldn't even understand if what she just saw was a dream or reality.
"Shino," Devis tried to comfort her. She started trembling with fear. He held her close to his chest.
"Shino," Even after waking up from the dream, Shino was still trembling, unable to shake off the fear. Devis understood her condition. He held her tightly.
Her hand was shaking.
"Shh... Shino, it's nothing."
He held her hand firmly.
"Shino... don't be afraid. Nothing will happen to you." Shino became a little normal. It was then that she realized he was holding her close. For a moment, she was silent. Because this was the first time in her life that a man had held her like this. She felt something inside. Realizing that she was normal, Devis put her back in bed.
"Shino, you are safe. I am here, don't worry," he said, stroking her head.
A little later, after making sure Shino was asleep, he came out of the room. He didn't know what was happening so suddenly. Nancy called his phone.
"Hello, Nancy..."
"Doctor..." He realized there was some problem in her voice.
"Nancy, what happened?"
"Doctor," she was truly terrified.
"Doctor, everything Shino said is true. Nothing is a lie."
"What are you saying, Nancy?"
"Another girl has gone missing." Devis' heart stopped for a moment.
"What Shino said is true, a girl has gone missing. At the park where Shino went yesterday."
As he heard everything, he stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Doctor, Shino is seeing every missing case happening here beforehand."
Suddenly, he cut the call and stood in front of Shino's room. He looked at her through the glass door.
"How..."
Shino, having recovered from her exhaustion, sat up. Now she was unsure whether what she had experienced was a dream or reality.
It was then that Devis came in with her food.
"Hey, morning."
"Morning, Doctor."
She slowly got up from the bed.
"You seem to have slept well," he asked, setting some food aside.
"Yes, for a while."
She slowly got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
After she came back fresh, he handed her the food.
"Doctor, why are you putting so much effort into my situation?"
"Just felt like it."
He replied with a smile.
"What is it, Doctor? Do you have feelings for me?" Hearing her question, he was slightly taken aback.
"Oh, no, nothing like that."
She laughed seeing his reaction.
"Don't worry, I just asked."
After a moment of silence, he said,
"Miss Shino, from now on, you don't have to call me 'Doctor', just call me by my name."
She just stared at him, listening to his words.
"Why is that?"
Before he could answer, Roy entered the room.
"Good morning, Miss Shinova."
Roy checked all her reports. He also examined her.
"Anyway, you can go back today."
Roy behaved in a very strict manner
Devis brought Shino back to her room after she was discharged from the hospital.
"Devis... thanks." She looked at him.
After Devis left, she walked back and forth in the room for a while. First a dream, then repeated visions. It felt like she was going mad. She felt like someone was hunting her when she was alone and isolated.
"Tring..."
She took the phone and was shocked. The call was from the person who was monitoring her.
"Hello..."
It was a man.
"Miss Shinova..." This was the first time Shino heard his voice.
"Who are you? Why are you monitoring me like this? What is your connection to me?"
She asked, afraid he would suddenly cut the call.
"Shino..., the connection between us, you don't need to know that for now. I know you want to see me. Didn't you come to the place I mentioned for that reason?"
"What do you want?"
Shino's voice started to change.
"What I want, you don't need to know that now. I will tell you when we meet in person."
"When?"
"You want to see me that badly, do you?"
His words started to push her to anger.
"Your intention is something else. Just as I want to see you, you also want to see me."
"Your energy amazes me, Shino. I will come looking for you soon."
He cut the call.
Problems were piling up one after another.
She left the room to tell Devis everything.
Shino reached the hospital and went to Devis' office looking for him.
"Shino."
Seeing her come to look for him, he went over to her.
"Devis, I need to talk a little." She said softly.
"Oh, I'm a little busy now. I'll come over to your place in the evening."
"No, I need to tell you now. I'll wait here until you finish." She sat down on the sofa there.
He went inside. He came back a little later.
"Okay, come on, let's talk."
Darren watched from a distance as the two of them walked out.
She took Devis to the same park again.
"What is it, Shino? Did you see something again?"
He looked around and asked.
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"He called me again."
"Who?" He looked at her.
"The person monitoring me. He called me again today, saying he will come looking for me."
"Oh, that makes it easier for us. Doesn't that reduce our work?" he said jokingly.
"Devis, he wants something from me."
"What?"
" I don't know. He just said he would ter.
tell me on the day he sees me."
She showed him the number.
He noted down the number.
"What is it, Miss Shinova? " Now that you have a new doctor, you're making sure not to interrupt the treatment." Darren approached the two of them.
Seeing him, Shino, who was upset that he had only seen her as a mere patient, became angry with him.
She started to get up and leave.
"Shino." Devis tried to stop her.
"We'll meet later, I have to go now."
Seeing her behaviour, Darren was perplexed.
After she left, Devis got up from there.
"Devis, isn't your treatment at the hospital now? Did you move it here?"
Hearing his question, Devis turned to look at him.
"This is none of your business, Darren."
"Devis, I was the doctor who looked after her!"
"So what? She is my patient now."
"Devis, I didn't come here to argue with you."
"Then?"
"What is it that you can't talk about at the hospital that you come here to discuss?"
He realized Darren had come with suspicion.
"Darren, we talk about many things. Why do you need to know? Besides, you never believed what Shino had to say."
Hearing Devis's replies, Darren stood there, not knowing what to say.
Devis left the place.
Shino went back to her room in a lot of anger. The rain started again; after a while, it began to pour. Just as she was about to take her umbrella from her bag, someone suddenly bumped into her. The person left without looking at her or saying sorry.
The rain had already started. Shino, who was already angry, now grew even angrier.
When she turned to look at the person, he was walking away somewhere.
Someone called her phone.
"Nancy."
"Shino, did you get back to your room?"
"Yes, why?"
"I called to see if you were okay. I'll come over there."
"Hey, if you are at the station, stay there. I will come to you."
She walked towards the station.
Because of the heavy rain, she got into a nearby taxi and started heading to the station.
Even while in the taxi, her mind was in a turmoil.
"When is the next one? What happened to that girl?"
She couldn't see the face of the boy who had appeared in her dream now.
"I saw it, what happened now?"
She kept saying to herself in her mind.
Because of the traffic, the driver stopped the taxi for a while.
"What happened?" Shino asked him anxiously since time was passing.
"It's traffic, Madam," he replied.
Nancy had already reached the station.
Seeing that Shino hadn't arrived, she kept trying to call her, but Shino didn't pick up.
Time kept passing.
The driver started the car when the traffic eased a little.
She reached the station.
The crowd hadn't lessened. She walked quickly inside.
As she quickly entered, someone passed right by her. She walked forward a little, but feeling something, she turned to look at that person.
Black hoodie, mask, a very peculiar person. He stood a little distance away, looking right at her.
Seeing that he knew she was looking at him, Shino quickly went to Nancy.
She occasionally looked back. He was still following her, looking at her amidst the crowd. Whenever she looked, she felt like he was standing around, watching her. Shino, scared that this might be the person monitoring her, started looking for Nancy.
No matter how much she looked, she couldn't see her.
When she looked to see if he was gone, he was no longer behind her. She slowly walked over there to check. Suddenly, someone held her hand.
"Hey!"
It was Nancy.
"Shino. Why are you so late? I've been waiting here for so long."
Nancy was a little upset.
"Sorry, traffic."
"Shino, I have something to tell you." Nancy started to say something.
"What?"
"What you said is true."
"What?"
"Another girl has gone missing, in that park, at night."
Shino stood there, unable to believe what Nancy was saying.
"I wanted to tell you this, but you were in the hospital again. Shino, you have some specialty." Nancy's words made her feel uneasy.
"And..." Nancy started to say something, but she stopped without saying it.
"What?"
"That girl also died. Yesterday, the body was found in the building near that hospital."
Shino understood everything then. Her dream had come true again.
She quickly turned to go back to her room from there.
"Shino..." Nancy called, but she didn't stop.
Even as she walked back, she had some kind of feeling inside.
Shino returned to her room and lay face down on the chair, looking distraught.
"I see each person in the dream so I can save them. This ability is for that, but I'm unable to do it." She burst into tears.
She thought about everything Nancy had said.
"I saw everything." It was then that one thing suddenly occurred to her: that building. That's where that person had first called her to. There's no point in sitting here anymore. She started to feel that if she didn't do anything, she would have to live with this guilt forever.
She got up from the bed and started to leave for that building.
When she opened the door, Devis was outside.
"Shino... where are you going?"
"Devis, don't ask me anything now," she walked out.
"Shino, I know where you are going, but not now." He stopped her.
"No!"
"Shino, what are you going to do by going there?"
She paused for a moment.
"I know where you are going. But Shino, not now, this will endanger your life."
"So be it. It doesn't matter even if I lose my life. I can't take this anymore."
"Shino." He tried to calm her down.
"The things I see are just dreams, but they were all true. I stayed away even though I knew everything. In every dream, I could have somehow saved everyone I saw. But I didn't do it. I saw the souls of each of them. All the souls came looking for me. I decided to die because I was fed up with everything. But I shouldn't die. I shouldn't make the same mistake my mother made. Devis, with this ability of mine, I can somehow help them. I know who killed all of them. He is somewhere near me. He will come looking for me. Before he comes, I have to go looking for him. I've seen the death and pain of every single person, Devis. How long will I live with this guilt?"
He understood that all she had inside her now was anger and the determination to destroy the killer.
"Devis, everyone once called this madness. My mother couldn't prove that it wasn't madness. If I also leave without proving it today, everyone will always say that everyone born with this ability is simply a lunatic.
For people who worry about something happening to their own mother, father, or siblings, this ability I've received is a blessing. Until I use it, I will also be living dead due to guilt."
The animosity towards the killer grew inside her.
She stepped past Devis and went outside. He stood there, not knowing what to do.
She walked out into the rain. After walking a little distance, he ran up behind her.
"I won't tell you not to go, but wherever you go, I will be with you now." He walked ahead. She just stared at him.
Both of them reached the building.
"Devis, you check that shed, I'll look inside."
"There's nothing much in there."
Shino was slightly startled by his answer.
She glared at him.
"That.. I found you there both times, so I just came and checked."
She walked inside without a word.
"Shino... wait." He ran after her.
It seemed as if there was no one inside.
It was an unfinished building.
"Where are we supposed to look in this?"
She glared at him.
"Okay, okay."
They both went their separate ways.
Following everything Nancy had told her and what she had seen in her dreams, she went to the second floor.
As soon as she got there, she had some kind of feeling.
Devis was somewhere downstairs.
"I should scold myself for bringing this fool," she said to herself.
As she moved forward on that floor, she started to feel really cold.
This time, she knew what was going to happen next.
Some soul was near her.
The cold started to increase more and more. When she reached an edge, the cold was unbearable, and she fell to the ground.
It felt like darkness was enveloping her eyes.
Shino fell to the ground.
A little later, she opened her eyes.
It was dark all around Shino now. She realized she was in a dream.
"Aahhhha, no..."
She heard the scream of someone crying.
"This is it."
She ran towards the direction of the sound. The same room she saw in her dream, with many candles, and a girl tied to a chair in the middle of them.
Shino ran close to the girl.
"Who is it?"
The girl started crying in fear.
"Hey... Shh."
She slowly touched the rope to untie the girl.
"Ahh."
She couldn't touch the rope. Her hand burned when she touched the rope.
"What is this?" She looked at the girl, unable to understand anything.
Suddenly, the girl's body started to melt and fall as blood.
"Huh..." Shino couldn't believe her own eyes. The girl's body melted and fell from the chair as a liquid onto the floor.
For a moment, Shino stood there, trembling, unable to do anything.
She realized she was in some kind of trap. Shino, who was walking backward to get out of the room, bumped into someone and stopped.
"Very... Soon."
He stroked her shoulder. Cold hands.
"I didn't expect such a quick meeting either, dear."
She realized who was standing behind her.
"Me too."
She picked up a nearby candle stand and tried to attack him. But he had already thrown her to the side.
"Ahhh."
Shino, who had fallen, couldn't get up.
Suddenly, she couldn't breathe, as if someone was gripping her throat. She started to rise into the air.
She couldn't breathe.
"I didn't think you would die so soon, Shino."
Shino, floating in the air, couldn't get any air.
"You can't do that."
He lost control of her.
He couldn't hold her.
Shino fell to the ground and looked at her palm. The colour of her palm started to change, a deep red colour.
She couldn't understand what was happening to her. The person came towards her again.
When he came close to attack her, she showed her clenched fist towards him to stop him, and he suddenly flew backward and fell.
"What is this?" she thought to herself.
Because of the power that came from her hand, a part of that person was burnt.
He quickly regained his form and came to attack her again.
She picked up a nearby candle stand and attacked him with it. She wounded his neck.
Even the stand she held melted easily.
He threw some kind of vine at her to tie her up again. But
She moved away from it. He didn't let go and tied her up with the vine. She couldn't move. The vine was squeezing her tightly.
It felt like Shino's heart was about to stop.
"You can never stop me, Shino... your mother was like this too. But she suffered a lot of pain and died, poor thing."
Hearing that, she was shocked.
"I still remember her eyes just before she died, those bright green eyes. What to do, it was her fate."
Some kind of animosity started to build up inside Shino.
"I thought everything ended with her. But I was wrong," he tightened the rope.
"Aahhh."
Shino, who realized that this was the person who caused her mother so much pain, had a mountain of anger, hatred, and sorrow accumulated inside her.
As her anger increased, some power started to travel through the rope.
The rope started to glow with a red colour. The person also felt the heat in his hand.
He let go of it.
Shino got up from it easily.
She walked towards him. As she got closer, he started to rise into the air.
Shino's eyes had a certain glow.
"You can never destroy me."
The moment she clenched her hand, blood came out of his mouth.
A smile appeared on Shino's face.
"Shino!!"
Devis called her from behind. She turned back in shock, and Devis was behind her.
When she looked back at the person, he vanished like ash in the air.
"No!!"
He escaped.
"Shinoo."
She looked at him but fainted.
"Shinooo."
He tried to wake her, but she didn't wake up. Black blood was coming from her nose. Fear grew inside Devis. It was then he noticed her palm. A deep red colour, something like a spiral, was fading away. When he touched her palm, it was burning hot.
"Ah."
Devis couldn't believe his eyes. He took her back to the room. Nancy also arrived there.
Shino was unconscious.
"Doctor, what happened?"
Nancy asked fearfully. He sat there, deep in thought.
"Doctor!"
She called him with a shock.
"Nancy."
"Yes, Doctor, what happened to her?"
He took Nancy out of the room.
"Doctor, are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Nancy, Shino has some power, or rather, she is a ghost."
He started mumbling.
"What?"
She looked at him, confused.
"Yes. Something is hidden in her, Nancy."
"Doctor, tell me clearly," she got angry.
"Nancy, we went to that building today."
"Why?"
"She went there searching for something, and I went with her. We went inside alone. At first, there was no problem. But,"
He paused.
"It was her scream I heard."
"When I heard the scream and went, I saw her floating in the air. When I called her, she looked at me, but that wasn't the Shino we know, Nancy; it was someone else," he couldn't fully explain.
"She is someone else. I couldn't touch her hand, it was so hot."
Nancy couldn't believe anything he was saying.
Inside, Shino was still unconscious.
Halfway through her unconscious state, she opened her eyes. She was standing in front of a mirror. The reflection in the mirror was Sarah.
"Mother..." She touched the mirror.
"Mother, what is happening here? What is happening to me? I thought I was only having dreams like you, but something more is happening to me."
In response to her question, Sarah continued to smile.
"Shino, you are now a butterfly, a butterfly that overcomes many challenges and heads towards its goal. Every dream you see is a duty you must fulfill; your birth is for that. You can never stop anyone just with dreams. If the opponent is strong, how will you face him? Every human being in this world is born to fulfill certain duties. We are different from them, my child.
If you want to fulfill your duties, you must prepare for it. The change you saw in yourself today is the proof of that, Shino.
What I couldn't achieve is what has now come seeking you. Never be afraid of anything, never go backward. There will be people near you who try to pull you back. Don't falter in front of anyone."
Sarah's words gave her strength.
"Shino, in your journey ahead, you will face things you will never believe, things even your eyes won't be able to believe. Maintain your courage. I will always and forever be with you."
