As a light, rhythmic electronic piano tune began to play, the Light Screen image lit up, revealing Raiden Mei.
In a vast white space, Raiden Mei looked around in astonishment, confusion written across her fair, beautiful face.
But the girl quickly came to her senses, remembering what had happened before she arrived here.
"So, I've already entered the dream?"
As she murmured those words, the girl looked around in confusion. "Why is there nothing here? How am I supposed to recover my past memories?"
As she pondered this, Raiden Mei suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head—an agonizing pain that made her clutch her head in suffering.
Amid that pain, the scenery around her changed. Fragmented memory scenes appeared, broken yet pieced together into shattered "screens" surrounding Raiden Mei.
For a more concrete comparison, it resembled the classic opening sequence of Marvel movies—the montage of countless clips before the logo appeared.
Except what Raiden Mei saw were memories that belonged to her.
And they were not from a first-person perspective, but from a rather novel god's-eye view.
The images were fragmented and disordered. Some showed Raiden Mei sleeping, some showed her practicing kendo, and others showed her cooking.
Moreover, they were all scenes of Raiden Mei as a child. The tiny little girl was unbelievably adorable, enough to lift anyone's mood and send countless lolicons into a frenzy.
Sure enough, beautiful girls were super adorable even as children.
However, those sweet and adorable scenes did not last long. The images soon shattered, replaced by new fragmented scenes.
They were from after Raiden Mei had become a teenager.
School, home, riding in cars—and besides Raiden Mei herself, there were other people as well. Some were servants, some classmates, and some relatives or passersby.
Yet none of those people had faces.
