KAGEROU DAZE IV

“Hey! Hello? You there? Hey!”

“I can hear you, okay? …What is it?”

“Oh, you can? You know, I guess that guy really took a liking to you.”

“I guess so…but it’s still pretty frustrating.”

“Yeah, I know where you’re coming from there. But remember what I told you?”

“Huh?”

“There are things you can see with your ‘eyes.’ And things people on the outside can see, too, with their ‘eyes.’ So it’s all gonna be just fine.”

“Oh…Right. You did say that. I almost forgot.”

“Well, try not to do that. I told you not to, remember?”

“That I remember, yeah.”

“Oh? Well, good, then.”

“…Oh, right. Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure. Not a problem.”

“How should I be searching for other people’s ‘eyes’…?”

“Oh, that’s simple. They’re going to have these bright red eyes. It’s almost too easy to spot them.”

“Bright red…? Does that happen to me, too?”

“Of course. It’s really cool, you know. The color of a hero.”

“Hopefully I’ve got what it takes to become one…”

“Oh, you’ll be fine. Have some faith in yourself!”

“All right. I will. Oh, but it’s almost time.”

“Mm-hmm. Well, be careful. And don’t forget about Her, either, all right?”

“I won’t. I’ll be right there…Oh, I’m sorry, one more thing.”

“What’s up?”

“That red scarf you have. Who’s that ‘the color of a hero’ to?”

“Hmm…Good question. Oh, I know. Why don’t you ask someone on the outside? They’ll probably have an answer for you.”

“Really? All right. Well, I guess we don’t have much longer here.”

“No. See you later…I’m assuming, anyway?”

“You will. You definitely will.”

“Great. Well, see you then.”
