![]() Illustrated by Akihiro Yamada with ink plates at vital parts of the story, they bring to the novel another sense of realism that will take the reader into the story faster. The story begins to take a turn when a young man, dressed in ancient Japanese robes and a noh mask tells her she must come with him as she is in great danger at the school, while the man's friend says they have been followed by something more dangerous and deadly than Yoko realises. Instead she tells how much she has been studying, and he lets her go home without telling her off for doing anything wrong. When she is found asleep in class, she is sent to the head teacher's office for questioning, but she cannot reveal her nightmares to him of all people. ![]() Ordering her to get it cut, Yoko thinks she is different from the other girls, but this just makes things worse from her mother's point of view as she sees it as unfair. She attends an all-girl school, getting average grades, but her mother worries about her long, and very red hair, feeling the other students might get the wrong impression of her as their hair is black by nature, and envy could set in among them. She is just an ordinary child in every way. She is amazed that what she experienced was not real and wonders about its meaning for a while. Yoko Nakajima wakes from a terrifying dream where she is surrounded by many ravenous beasts. ![]()
