Teshiko blinked open her eyes, slowly taking in the world around her. The sun was shining down on her as she was lying down in a field of grass, a single tree standing atop a small incline that kept the morning light from her eyes. However, it wasn't grass that her head was resting upon, it was someone's lap, and that someone would soon show his face as he saw her wake up. [color=ed1c24]"Good morning, love,"[/color] Kiyoshi told her as she looked up to his warm smile.

[color=C0C0C0]"Morning,"[/color] the angel greeted back, leaning up to give the young man a kiss. Once their lips parted, Teshiko would finally move to get up, standing on her own two feet and helping Kiyoshi up to do the same. She would give him one last smile before beginning her decent down the small hill, expecting her companion to follow. When she didn't feel his fingers intertwine with hers, she looked back up to see what it was that was taking him so long. That was when the peaceful day ended.

Dark clouds began to form above as nature around Kiyoshi began to wither and die. The once green grass seemed to turn brown within seconds before aging past that and becoming nothing more than bare dirt. The tree's leaves began to fall, a harsh wind appearing from nowhere to take them away from view. All of this, with the brown haired boy's figure seeming to stand in the epicenter of the rot overtaking this once beautiful world. [color=C0C0C0]"Kiyoshi-?"[/color] she asked him, fear and worry gripping her words so that only his name could leave her lips. It was then that his bat-like wings suddenly unfurled behind him, causing the angel to jump back in fright.

And then the nightmare ended. Teshiko opened her eyes again, only to find herself in the sleeping quarters of office building that Camael had claimed as a base for their group. She knew that she was safe now, but the nightmare had shaken her so much that, for several moments, she stayed sitting up in her bed, her previous fear that had followed her out of her dream betraying her usual calm and collected nature. Eventually however, she would find the strength and resolve to step out from under the covers, dress herself in her usual attire, and made her way to the main hall where everyone else seemed to be gathering.
