[b]"...Eh?"[/b] Her hand stopped, just shortly before she touched the handle of the door. Was this... blood? - The first thing coming to her mind as the smell entered her nose. Curious, she touched the red-liquid with her free forefinger. [b]"It's not dry..."[/b] She whispered, which would mean it was either something else or... the girl shook her head.

[b]"Tchooo..."[/b] Shinobu gave a random noise from her to calm herself down in a weird way. Of course, she was aware of being in a horrible situation. She had to be on guard. Not being too focused on the particular handle anymore, it was then that something else came into her field of view. At first, she wasn't able to see it that well thanks to the dim red light, but now, that her eyes were more accustomed to it, there was no mistaking it. [b]"C-C-C..."[/b] Was that? She started to tremble, taking a few steps back.

Shinobu shook her head once again. This was... not right. Wrong. Strange. Maybe... she was, indeed, still dreaming? It... had to be. Yes. It had to be. There was no other way. A weird scenario like this would hardly - never - happen in real life! But what if... [b]"No!"[/b] Shinobu stopped herself, burying any doubts she could come up with quickly somewhere deep down. Regardless, she had to carry on. [i]Dream or not.[/i]

With her initial fear gone, the green-hair eyed the dead body a tad closer. He seemed dead for...a rather long time? Shinobu was by no means an autopsist, so she couldn't tell for sure, but dead was dead! Not to mention... he was apparently a student too... and missed both arms? It was then that the younger Sister heard a rather soft, broken, voice. Nearly faint whisper, in fact.

[b]"H-Hello?"[/b] Turning swiftly around, her wooden board held before her, she could now make out another 'living' person. Was she here the entire time? Why didn't notice Shinobu her before? Confused, yet curious, the self-proclaimed heroine stepped closer, the words that the girl repeated like a chant becoming more apparent to her.

[b]"...!"[/b] Upon seeing the arms - after she had moved past some desks closer to the girl - Shinobu made yet another step back. Her silly brain connecting A with B. [b]"No..."[/b] She whispered in disbelief. Surely, there had to be an explanation for this. It was wrong of her to just [i]judge[/i] the only other living person she had met in this god-forsaken dream place like that. Not to mention, the girl looked terrified, mad-driven, herself.

[b]"Alright, you can do this. It's your Nightmare. You're the hero. You won't just die in a lame fashion like that."[/b] She whispered to herself, convincing her that this girl was indeed no danger. Instead, she needed help. Help that Shinobu was willing to provide. [b]"Hey! You, are you alright? Can you understand me?"[/b] Shinobu now spoke more loudly, hoping to grab the girls attention.
