Waking Dreams
Standing in front of a mirror, and at the same time not. The surface of the mirror shines and the in the background, behind the blurry figure reflected in the mirror, a shimmering pool beckons. Looking around, seeing only a plain bedroom, the head turns back to the mirror. The very surface of the mirror shimmers and a unspeakable force urges that the mirror be entered. Invisible strings tug and the distance between the fingertips and the mirror shrinks.

"Looks like it's going to be nice outside..." Jun murmured to herself as she glanced outside. The morning sky was clear, and the air was crisp. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed an unfamiliar figure.
