Place: Xue's Mansion
Yuuta rested on the bed inside the same room where he had recovered after arriving in the Lower City. His exhausted body had finally given in after the duel, leaving him in a deep sleep while Tina remained beside the bed, quietly waiting for him to wake.
To anyone watching, there was nothing unusual about him. His breathing was steady, his expression peaceful, and for once there seemed to be no danger surrounding him.
Yet beneath that innocent sleep, Yuuta was somewhere else.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of an endless ocean. The black water beneath his feet was completely still, stretching toward every horizon without a single wave, while an enormous crimson moon hung high above the dark sky and painted its faint red reflection across the surface.
