You remembered leaving them both with a warm feeling in your stomach. Pure satisfaction. Butterflies were even dancing in synchronisation. Everything felt complete. As you left Ryo's beautiful apartment, you started your long trek home. Your e/c eyes couldn't help but fall upon the captivating scenery. Oh, the tranquility of the trees slowly dancing in the cherry-scented breeze. A friendly wave and call from the baker as she rolled over dough with her strong, but oh so tentative hands. The occasional odd distant sound, rustling of leaves, but nothing too unusual. It was a regular, perhaps positive day. Perhaps a day where love would blossom. And you'd return to your homely bed and fall asleep with a grin painting your face, the stars' silhouettes dancing on the bedroom walls in excitement.

The painted canvas sky of colour faded into a sickening monochrome grey. A black aura grew around your vision field. Menacing, malevolent demons danced mid-macabre behind the white glacier of your eyes. Your head spun in circles so fast that you could picture yourself on a rollercoaster.

Electric blue whirled around and around you. Red lights flashing. People screaming in excitement. Distant and distorted fairground music. Grappling hands pushing the ride abruptly. Your head jerking fearfully back and forth, liable to snap off brutally and roll into the distance, mocking you. Screaming faces whizzed past and became distorted. Ambulance sirens wailed in mourning.

Alarm clocks ringing.

Then birds were singing.
