Chapter 1: Awakening
It's cold…
It hurts…
It's painful…
These were the first impressions I felt.
When I awoke, I tried to retrace my memories before I lost my consciousness, however, it wasn't clear. After work, I went home…
Wait a minute, I don't have any memories of arriving home.
I don't remember getting drunk. Perhaps I should say I had no plans of dining out. Did I maybe encounter some kind of accident?
Although I started to think of various situations, it wasn't viable because of my painful condition.
I tried to move my body, but it wasn't responding well.
I tried opening my eyes, but that also didn't go so well.
Finally, because of the unpleasant situation, I tried to speak.
"Aa—"
!!
I was surprised of my own voice.
It was a high-pitched cry that of an infant.
I tried to speak again.
"Au, au, a—"
Because my tongue wasn't moving well, it wasn't possible to talk.
Because of uncontrollable emotions, I suddenly burst into tears.
Although it was a shameful act as an adult, I couldn't help it.
What is this?
While I was crying for a while, I heard approaching footsteps.
As I thought, it was cold and raining outside, and the footsteps I heard issued some squeaky noises.
'I'm saved.'
I thought so for a brief moment, then, I heard a voice.
"☆※◇◎□○△▽"
I couldn't understand it at all.
Falling into even further confusion, I was enveloped in a warm light, wrapped with a warm cloth, eliminating the pain I felt.
I, who felt relieved, suddenly lost my consciousness.
