Tomoko woke up with a start, and sat straight up, a look of terror spread across her face. Both her hands were held firmly on top of her head, as if to protect herself from some deadly, incoming blow. And before she could stop herself, she called out to the first person she thought of in a situation like this.

"H-Himoto-san?!" As soon as the name spilled out of her lips, she began to realize what was going on. She began to realize where she was, and that it was all just.... a dream. No. A nightmare. A very bad nightmare. She was in this strange, frighting place that was her school but not still. She let out half a breath, half a sob of relief.
