Chapter 1: Who's that girl---

I was walking back to the hospital where my sister was being confined...

She's been like this since she attended high school...

I don't know exactly what happened to her, but it turns out that she needs me and so I have to stay by her side...

Sometimes when she get better she goes home but then that only last for a couple of days...

And after that her illness gets back...

She don't have any dreadful disease or something---

I can say that she don't have, because even the doctor can't explain what exactly her condition is...

They said that it's psychological...

When you're looking at her...

She looks normal...

She looks just fine, she smile a lot and I love her smile and I promise that no matter what---

I'll protect that...

 Ah my name is Zen, Harpercyth...

 I'm in 3rd year high school...

 You can say that I'm a typical high school, student with a boring life.

 My parents were always busy at work, they jut go home to sleep...

 I always thought that our house is just a sleeping lounge...

 We don't spent much time together...

 It's not that I'm bragging about my life but then---

 I wish that I have someone to spent time with during family days like my friends always experience...

 I wish that I could also demand my mon to stop making a packed lunch for me just like my friends always did...

 I already arrived on the hospital, her room was on the fourth floor so I have take the elevator...

 I opened the door and to my surprise---

 She's not there!

 Where's my sister?!

 She's been always like this!!!

 But I can't help not to get mad at her... 

 I somewhat understand how boring it is, to stay in the hospital...

But I've notice a girl sitting on the bed where my sister used to lay..

 Who are you---

 I asked her....

 She just stared at me with a blank look in her face...

 And suddenly someone pulled my hand!

 "Zen! What the hell you're doing here!"

Oh it's my sister---

And so I smiled at her as my responds...

"Why did you get out of your room"

I asked her...

Because you're too slow, so I've decided to go out for a bit...

What took you so long?

You know I've been waiting for a couple of hours already...

Ah sorry...

I'm the assigned cleaner for today...

"It's ok--

There's nothing I can do about it..."

She answered...

"By the way who's the girl inside that room?

Is she your friend?" I ask her...

What the hell are you talking about Zen?

She look confused and then look inside the room...

"No one's here--- "

She look serious but----

And so I look at the room again and see that there's really no one inside the room...

"W-where did she go?"

"Zen, I think you're hungry let's just eat...

Mom brought some food a couple of minutes ago..."

"She came here?"

"What's with the surprise look?

It looks like, she did something bad?"

"Well, I'm just surprise---"

"Oh my Zen!

She's still our mom, she's just busy that's why---"

"I guess so---"

(I tried to smile it out...

But I can't help but felt uneasy about what happened a while ago---

Who is she?

Who's that girl? Where did she goes? Did she just disappeared in the thin air?

It's not that she jump out of the window???

Am I joking?

We're on the fourth floor!

There's no way she'll do that---

But---

Did I just see things?

I'm sure that I saw her a few minutes ago, but now, I felt doubt that I really saw her..."
