On this day, Sayu once again dreamed of a familiar scene.

It's still that mysterious space shrouded in thick fog, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility, but with a hint of worry.

She stood in the center of this space, with a mossy pond at her feet. The clear water reflected the blue of the sky, and there were a red and a black goldfish swimming in the water.

She couldn't help but squat down, following the figures of the two goldfish with her eyes, and gradually fell into a state of ecstasy.

At a certain moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in this space.

As if they felt something, the two goldfish changed their leisurely attitude and began to swim quickly and uneasily underwater, causing chaos in the calm water surface.

Sayu was inexplicably nervous, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart, but she didn't understand why.

She stretched out her hand anxiously, trying to move the two goldfish to another place, but they just disappeared out of thin air.

As the water in the pool gradually subsided, a picture suddenly appeared on it - a girl was curled up motionless on the ground.

"She" lowered her head and covered her face with her hands. Her long hair was spread behind her head, making her face unclear, and her delicate body looked very thin.

At the same time, a buzzing sound of conversation also reached Sayu's ears.

She suddenly raised her head and realized that many shadowy figures had appeared around the pond.

They stood on the other side of the pond with serious expressions, whispering to each other and pointing at the girl in the middle, their eyes full of wariness and malice.

Sayu couldn't hear what they were saying specifically, but he could feel the anger and resistance contained in those voices.

These sounds echoed in the mist, adding a heaviness to this originally peaceful space.

Facing the accusations from those people, the girl in the water shrank her body even more, lowered her head deeply, and her shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she was crying.

"It's too much..."

Sayu murmured, feeling extremely sad for some reason, as if he could understand the other person's helpless mood.

The next moment, the girl slowly raised her head and met her distant eyes, her amber eyes filled with tears.

"——!

"

As if time was frozen, the entire space suddenly froze for a second, and then quickly disappeared the next moment.

"don't want!"

Sayu suddenly sat up from the bed and looked around in shock. What appeared in his eyes was an all-too-familiar apartment room.

It was early in the morning, the sun shone into the room through the window, the breeze gently blew the curtains, the calendar on the desk rustled, and the chirping of birds came from outside.

Everything seemed peaceful and full of life, a perfectly normal everyday scene.

Sayu wriggled her lips and swallowed with contentment, her chest heaving violently due to her rapid breathing.

Before I knew it, cold sweat had penetrated my pajamas.

She pressed her pounding chest, got out of bed and ran to the kitchen. She took a glass of water from the faucet and drank it. She didn't put down the glass until it was all gone.

"……what is that?"

The voice of talking to himself echoed in the air, but no one could answer this question.

Sayu stood there blankly, his consciousness still not fully recovered, as if he was still vaguely immersed in that dream.

Then she shook her head vigorously, found her cell phone, and sent an email to her professor to inquire about the dream.

I didn't wait for a while before I received a reply.

[Masato Yamazaki: Good morning, Ogiwara-san, I thought about your dream carefully, and here are some of my personal opinions.

Your dream depicts a scene full of conflicting emotions.

The girl covering her face and crying, this element may represent some kind of fragility in your heart or concern about the surrounding environment. Have you encountered anything painful or confusing recently?】

[Sayu: Good morning, Professor Yamazaki, you are right. I have indeed encountered some troubles recently, but the cause of that matter can be traced back to a long time ago...]

[Masato Yamazaki: Doesn’t this mean that the things that troubled you before have happened again? That’s right.

As for what you said, those who accuse the girl in the dream, this may mean that you feel a certain degree of pressure in real life, perhaps from other people's expectations, judgments or responsibilities.

You can't hear the specific content of the accusation, which means that the pressure and anxiety in the dream are vague, but enough to make you feel sad.

Taken together, this dream implies that you are worried about certain things in real life.

You can try to compare dreams with real life, and try to think deeply about the connection between them, which will help you find the deep meaning behind it.]

[Sayu: But Professor Yamazaki, this is not the first time I have had this dream... Is this normal? 】

[Masato Yamazaki: It is rare to dream of the same scene consecutively, but it is not without precedent.

I think you have accumulated too much pressure, so it's best to give yourself a break.

Your ability to empathize is very high, but this is a double-edged sword. When you come into contact with patients, you will inevitably be affected by them, which brings a mental burden to you.

I say this because you are a good student. Before you help others, you should first take care of yourself. Remember to keep a safe distance from the patient and be careful of mental pollution.]

"..."

Sayu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, replied a thank-you email, and then put the phone aside.

Although she understood that Yamazaki Masato had good intentions, she always felt that things were not that simple.

Why was the girl in the dream crying? Why did the people around me blame her? I always felt like there were mysteries everywhere.

Especially when she and the girl looked at each other at the end, she had the incredible illusion of being called by her real name.

Things seem to be getting more and more confusing...

Sayu held her forehead in distress and sighed.

But no matter how much I worry, I still can't figure out the problem.

She had to put the matter aside in the Mohu area and go take a bath.

…

Half an hour later.

Sayu came to the next room.

Serizawa Yuu was preparing breakfast. When he saw her, he greeted her cheerfully, "Ah, good morning, Sayu-san~ Just wait a little longer for breakfast."

"Good morning, Xiao Xi, is there anything you need my help with?" Sayu asked a little embarrassed, not wanting to be so idle.

"Well... in that case." Serizawa Yu put her finger on her chin, stared at the ceiling and thought for a while, then said:

"Then Sister Sayu, please help me feed Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong~ I didn't have time to feed them this morning because I was busy cooking."

Sayu happily agreed.

She walked to the corner of the room, grabbed a small handful of feed from the bag on the chest of drawers, and sprinkled it evenly into the fish tank.

The two goldfish immediately swayed their bodies happily and ate the feed one after another.

Sayu looked at their agile figures and couldn't help but think of the dream in the morning and the night of the summer festival.

To be more precise, she thought of the names Xiaoyou and Xiaoyou, and she felt confused for a moment.

She pursed her lips unconsciously, took out a wet wipe to wipe her hands, and said softly as if nothing had happened: "... Speaking of which, Xiao Xi, you finally chose the names black and red."

When Serizawa Yu heard her words, she said very depressedly:

"There's nothing I can do, because Asami-san has been saying embarrassing things and won't let me choose a meaningful name, so I have to do this... Also, Sayu-san, aren't you going to take Xiaohong back to raise her?"

Sayu shook his head gently, "I have never raised goldfish before, so I might not be able to raise them well."

"Sayu-san, you are too modest. Although this may sound a bit arrogant, I think raising goldfish is not that difficult."

"Haha, thank you for saying that, but forget it, and it would be too lonely to take them apart."

"Ah, that seems right. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't want to be separated from my partner." Serizawa Yu said with hindsight.

"Hmm~ So let them stay here. Anyway, we live next door, so it's convenient to see them." Sayu said with a smile.

While the two were chatting, Chiaki Shinjo, Kaori Shinjo, and Asami also arrived one after another.

Everyone first served breakfast to the girls in the association, and then sat down to eat together. As for the other staff, they ate in the office.

I have to say that the current "OSY" association is developing better and better.

Not only has the personnel and organizational structure become more complete, the number of donors has also increased a lot compared to before, and we have also reached cooperation with a professional law firm. The overall situation is excellent.

Everyone was chatting while having breakfast, and naturally the topic of Kyouya's scandal came up, which can be regarded as a major event in the association recently.

Sayu didn't know much about this aspect of the matter, so she basically left all the power to Asami, with her mother helping to handle it.

Originally, this topic should have been over quickly, after all, everyone was not too fond of that scumbag, but Shinjoka suddenly said -

"Asami, there is something I want to know about this eucalyptus. Can we chat later?"

Sayu turned around and looked towards Shinjoka in surprise.
