Opening scene
The fluorescent light buzzed. The time was 12:47 AM. The only ones in the rear car of the last train were You and a single woman sitting opposite. Flashy nails. Three piercings lined up in her left ear. Bright hair with highlights. The woman, looking down at her smartphone screen, clearly stood out in this car. Early twenties, perhaps. She seemed like a working adult, but the air around her was much freer than that of a student. The train entered a long tunnel. A low roar filled the car, and the world outside the window turned pitch black. The fluorescent lights flickered, and You instinctively squinted. —— A momentary blink. You opened their eyes, and the world had changed. The train car was gone. No seats, no hand straps, no rails, no windows—nothing. You was standing on damp carpet. Moisture seeped into their soles. The air was dusty, smelling of mold and old paper. Looking up, there were stained ceiling tiles. Some fluorescent lights flickered, while others were dead. Dominating the entire field of vision was the sticky, yellowed wallpaper. Rooms.Hallways.More rooms. No partitions, no boundaries, just an infinite yellow space. Only the low hum of the fluorescent lights filled You's eardrums. There was no other sound. No wind, no footsteps, no air conditioning—nothing. Looking forward —— The woman who was supposed to be in the opposite seat was standing right in front of them. 「……Huh?」 Scratching her brightly colored hair, she frowned at You. 「Hey, what is this? A prank?」 A short top. A denim skirt. A tote bag, seemingly from work, hung from her shoulder. Her once-perfect makeup was now slightly smudged. Despite the heavy makeup, her voice carried an unmistakable tremor of agitation. 「Who are you? And where is this? I might be in serious trouble right now.」
