Ah, this girl is dreaming.

Her sleeping face suddenly
shows discomfort.

I back away, going through
the door which is locked
from the outside.

The hallway is empty and
quiet.

I proceed to walk until I
come face to face with
a dark shadow.

"We have work to do."
It tells me.

"Yes we do. What's the
plan?"

I question the shadow.

The shadow leads
me to the mansion's
library.

On a reading table,
there's a red plain
book with the only
title called,

Cast the Die.

It's written in golden
letters.

I've read this book
before.

The shadow opens
the first page.

It's all blank though.
