"My eyes... something's wrong..."
Amamiya Natsuki pressed a hand over his right eye and frowned.
As they ventured deeper into the zoo, his eye had started twitching strangely. The sensation was familiar, somewhat like the mysterious connection he shared with Chika through the Red string.

Kitagawa Marin nodded.
"I remember it not having one either."
Hayasaka Ai asked warily,
