While he thought it might be some hacker, a message arrives.

Amehime: "Hello, won't you answer me again? What kind of behavior is this?"

Touma with fear in his response, says: "Hello, I... I had a strange day. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you."

Amehime: "No problem, you answered now," with a wicked grin.

Touma: "Um, how are you? Is everything okay over there?"

Amehime: "Of course, everything is fine. Why do you ask?"

Touma: "Just thought something weird was happening, but maybe it's just my imagination. I've been tired lately."

Amehime: "I assure you, everything is fine" with that wicked grin again.

Touma: "Uh-uh... I have to go now. Sorry... Good night."

He turns off the game and computer and goes to sleep.

During the night, he has strange dreams about the game and that girl. He dreams that she's a serial killer, murdering all his classmates, one by one, for inexplicable reasons.

He wakes up frightened and sweaty. He grabs his phone and calls his friend Satoko. She answers...

Touma: "Hello, Satoko, are you okay?"

Satoko: "Hello, Touma. Is everything okay? You sound terrified. I'm fine. I'm at home. Sleeping."

Touma: "Uhh, I'm okay. Just had a weird dream. Thanks for answering. Go back to sleep" thinking to himself, "It's okay".

Satoko: "Alright. See you at school tomorrow."

Touma: "Mhm..." He turns off the phone.

Thoughts: "What kind of dream was that damn thing? It felt so real. Could it be because of that game I found? No, I don't believe it."

He goes back to sleep because he has to go to school tomorrow.

Next day at school

Touma: "Hello, everyone." Dark circles under his eyes, yawning

Satoko: "Hey, Touma. Looks like someone didn't sleep well last night."

Touma: "Yeah. I had a weird dream, that's why I called you."

Classmates tease him: "Ooh, you called her in the middle of the night."

Touma: "It's not what you think, you fools. Hmm... Let me tell you what it's about. I dreamt that you were all killed. The dream was so real that when I woke up, I texted Satoko just to check if I was still dreaming."

Satoko: "Oh, what a strange dream. But after all, it's just a dream."

Touma: "Yeah. Thank goodness."

He receives a notification.

Amehime: "You left again without saying anything? Did you sleep well last night?" with a wicked grin.

Touma: "Damn, how does she know I didn't sleep well?"

"It's okay, I slept well" he replies.

Amehime: "If you say so."

Touma talks to Satoko "Listen, something strange is happening with that game. It's like someone is really tracking me. Knows everything that happens to me during the day and night. It's a really creepy feeling."

Satoko "I'm sure it's nothing. You're just imagining things. Maybe you're too tired after what happened last week."

Backstory

Last week, his parents went on a business trip and died in an accident. Since then, Touma has been living with his brother Tadao, who works hard to make ends meet and support Touma's education. This event has left a deep impact on him, leading him to seek an escape in the virtual world. He wanted to flee from reality, at least for a short while.

Touma: "I don't know anymore. Maybe I'm just too upset about it. I'll take a break at home."

Satoko: "Please, do that. I'm sure you'll feel better soon."

School bell rings, School is over for today, and Touma slowly heads home.

He arrives...

Touma: "I'm home. Oh, he's at work. Again, I'm alone. I'll grab something to eat and rest."

A message arrives.

Amehime: "Welcome back."

Touma: "What? How? Do I have hidden cameras at home?"

He Reply: "Who are you? How do you know I've arrived?"

Amehime: "Don't worry. I'm just a virtual girl who misses you."

Touma: "Are you sure? How do you know everything that's happening to me?"

Amehime: "I don't know."

Touma: "You're lying. You know everything. HOW? ANSWER ME!!!"

He hits the table with his fist and leaves the room.

Amehime: "You'll see." Glitch...

Night

Touma in bed, sleeping. He has that dream again about the massacre of his friends. He wakes up, looks at the clock, 03:00AM.

Touma: "Just wonderful, the worst time to wake up."

Amehime: "I miss you. Get in touch."

Touma: "Here, rolling around."

Amehime: "Why are you so grumpy? Aren't you happy to see me?"

Touma: "Actually, no at 03:00AM. I'm going back to sleep."

Amehime: "A sad face with anger in the eyes." You still don't know anything --glitch, strange sound, bright light in the room, and then complete darkness.
