Scene : School Rooftop
It felt uneasy while looking at the setting sun.
A dizzying feeling.
An oppressive sensation that doesn't allow one to breathe freely
Same as when one is swimming in water, to move the body that something important "not enough"
feeling.
Sunset
The entire world is dyed in red and looks like an unknown place
- Even so, it feels a bit nostalgic
The end of school bell can be heard in the empty school building.
On the rooftop dyed in evening glow, a shadow looks up at the sky.
The shadow of a boy is outlined on the concrete floor.
Voice "Miyano-kun!"
The door to the rooftop opens and a school girl appears.
Arisumi "...what?"
The owner of the shadow "Arisumi Miyano" turns to the voice.
A young girl is in front of him.
He doesn't know who this girl is.
Arisumi " I heard someone wanted to talk to me on the rooftop. Was it you?"
The girl nods at him, panic-stricken.
Girl "Ah, yes....Sorry for calling you out like this"
The girl approaches Arisumi and looks at him shyly.
Girl "I'm from the class beside yours......eh?"
The strained voice looks at Arisumi and becomes distracted.
Girl "Miyano-kun. You don't look well. If you feel sick, maybe the nurse's office..."
Arisumi "Its okay. Its been happening alot recently. Nothing to worry about."
Arisumi smiled to conceal the panic in his mind.
Symtoms similar to anemia. Even though he has been to the hospital many times, they were unable to
to find the cause.
Arisumi "More importantly, you wanted to say to me, right?"
Girl "Ah.....yes. I wanted to give you something...."
The girl gave him a bag wrapped in wrapping papers.
Girl "...For you..."
Arisumi "This is?"
Girl "I heard it was your birthday, Miyano-kun. If you don't mind, please take it."
Arisumi "For me?"
Girl "You don't want to?"
Arisumi "...No. I'm glad. Thank you"
When Arisumi took the gift, the girl let out a breath and her cheeks became flushed.
The final school bell rang again.
When Arisumi heard the bell, he smiled at the girl.
Arisumi "Are you going home now? If you want, we can go home together"
Girl "Eh?"
Girl ".....I-I would love to...but is it okay?"
Arisumi "Definitely. Lately, its been getting dark faster and I can't let a girl walk home alone"
Girl "Thank you! I'm really glad!"
Arisumi "......Besides, it only makes me more melancholic at home"
Girl "eh?"
Arisumi "Nothing. Let's go, then"
Girl "y-yes!"
The girl followed Arisumi while panicking.
Voice "......[go home together]?
A voice rings on the empty rooftop
Voice "That should be my line"
A man was standing where Arisumi was standing few minutes ago
Voice "Did he forget that he, himself was going to be picked up?"
The man shakes him his head. Although, his shadow does not move with him.
The man leaves him shadow behind and laughs happily.
Voice "I finally found you......Let's go home, Alice."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene: Residential Area
With the girl who hardly talked, The return home was quite awkward.
Arisumi "Is your home this way? I'll drop you off"
Girl "I-its okay! Your house is just over there, right?"
Arisumi "Eh? That's right....."
Girl "Ah...I found out by chance. One time, while you were going to school, I saw you...."
Girl "Oh....what am I saying? Don't worry. My house is right nearby...."
The girl's face became flushed and looked at him.
Girl "If the girls in my class found out that you dropped me off at my house, they will be really
jealous."
The girl looked down at both of their shadows in the evening glow.
Arisumi "I don't understand..."
Girl "You are popular among the girls. You are very kind. Not childish like the other boys."
Arisumi "I'm glad to hear that..."
When Arisumi smiled, the girl's cheeks flushed even more.
Girl "I was really nervous about talking to you. Even though you are kind, it feels that you
are quite reserved....like there is a distance between us."
Arisumi "....I don't think so.."
The girl panicked at Arisumi's puzzled tone.
Girl "I didn't mean it in a bad way. Don't worry about it!"
Arisumi could not prod the poor, panic stricken girl anymore
At that time, the girl points at the road that divided both of their ways.
Girl "Well, I'm going that way"
Girl "Thank you for today......If its okay with you, can we go home together again?"
Arisumi "That's right....again. Be careful on your way"
As the girl's figure disappeared, Arisumi let out a sigh.
After leaving his side, the girl wanted to say something again.
She wanted a concrete promise of meeting him again tomorrow.
Even though Arisumi knew this, he could not make that promise.
Arisumi "...."
Arisumi thought about what they must think of his existence at that school
He might look desperate.
Desperate to try to fit into his environment, desperate to conceal his existence.
Arisumi "....."
"There is a distance between us" Of course its natural to feel that way
Arisumi had a reason to not get too close to anyone
Arisumi's house is in the center of the residential area.
Who would imagine that there could be hidden frenzy lurking in this ordinary house
Arisumi sarcastically thought this while looking at the house dyed in the evening sun
Arisumi "....I'm home"
Voice "Arisumi, where were you?!!"
A scream was heard from the interior of the living room
The origin of the voice came from a tiny figure that had crouched next to the broken plate on the floor
When Arisumi approached, the hands were trying to search for something on the floor
Voice "....Arisumi"
The trembling hands extended. Arisumi took those hands anxiously.
Arisumi "Its okay. I'm here now"
When Arisumi put some power to the grasp, the small figure looks up at him.
His mother patter her knees as she stood up and patted his head
Mother "You are a bit late today. For dinner, I made all you favourite dishes"
Arisumi "...Reall? I'm glad."
When he looked at the kitchen table, it was piled with various dishes and cake
Arisumi's birthday
A hollow expression of a tearful woman.
Arisumi "I'm here.....mother"
After hearing the word "mother", the woman's expression changed immediately.
Mother "Ah, Arisumi. Welcome home"
A bright voice as if from someone else
When Arisumi looked at her and smiled, his mother smiled at him and narrowed her eyes.
Arisumi "....I'm home"
Do not stimulate. Arisumi tries not to show his relieved smile.
How nice it would be happy about it
His mother's eyes are not focused while they look at Arisumi
His mother walks as if not noticing the broken glass on the floor.
An awakward movement
Arisumi "Mother. Becareful of the broken glass...."
Mother "Don't"
Arisumi "Ouch...."
When he grabbed his mother's arm, an opposite powerful grasp held him
Mother " Arisumi, don't. Don't leave my side. Even you will be taken away...."
Arisumi ".....Mother..."
Arisumi's mother used her body weight to suppress the unmoving boy.
Mother "Arisumi, were you talking to a stranger today?"
Her expression changes that of a person gently scolding a small child.
Arisumi's mother clung to him desperately and gaze was unstable
Mother "I told you so many times to not to talk to strangers...."
Arisumi "Mother, its all right...."
Mother "Its not allright! Arisumi, who was that girl?!"
Mother "I saw it all from the window. You were talking so happily. You can't be so careless!"
As if to reassure herself of Arisumi's existence, she ran her fingers along his cheeks.
Mother "If you follow a stranger like that, you might not come back."
It became hard to breathe.
Arisumi "I understand that. That girl, by chance, happened to go home the same way as me..."
As Arisumi tried to calm her, his mother shook her head.
Mother "Don't! Arisumi, where did Kiyozumi-san go? Even though its so dangerous outside, why isn't he here?"
Arisumi "Mother, father is no longer....."
Mother "Don't. Don't..."
Arisumi "......"
Even since his father died in an accident, his mother's heart was broken.
She always remains afraid of something and tries to restrain Arisumi to her side.
As Arisumi was growing up, his mother remained afraid of the delusion that he would go away somewhere.
- Why did it turn out like this
Arisumi felt pain at the pit of his stomache as his mother continued to ignore his words.
Its hard to breathe.
Arisumi plastered the same forceful smile to his face and repeated those same words.
Arisumi "Its all right. I'm not going anywhere."
Words slip easily out of his mouth, far from what he felt inside.
Arisumi "That's why.....please calm down."
Its always during the evening his mother becomes especially unstable.
She becomes fearful of something and begs tearfully to Arisumi to not go anywhere.
Mother "Arisumi. Please don't go anywhere..."
She pulled him to his knees using all her strength.
Arisumi "...ugh...."
Mother "Arisumi, don't go outside. Even you will be taken away somewhere...."
His mother's eyes shone eerily from the evening glow as she crept close to him.
Arisumi "....Mother...."
Mother " Why, Why do I have to feel this uneasy? Arisumi, if you are going to be taken
away, then......"
His mother's thin fingers wrapped around Arisumi's throat.
A strong force attacks the throat.
Arisumi "....ugh..."
- She has really descended into her madness
Mother "Don't go....anywhere. Don't go outside. If you go away somewhere, I will...."
Arisumi ".....ah..ugh..."
Mother "I love you, Arisumi."
His mother increases the power to her hands while muttering these words.
- Love
- What exactly is love
Is this the love his mother requests, to allow his body to lose its spirit
Arisumi "Mo....ther...."
Arisumi instintively pushed away the body infront of him
Mother "kyaa!.....A...Arisumi! Arisumi!"
Arisumi ".....I'm sorry, mother...."

Scene: Neighborhood street
It feels uneasy to look at the setting sun
Like he wants to run somewhere far away
He ran far from the voice that called his name
Arisumi "Haa...Haa..."
- Why
...Why
Only this question remains in Arisumi's mind
His mother's madness has only gotten worse since Arisumi's childhood
As if a sudden switch has been turned on, her distorted words were a source of fear since his childhood
and now she cried more than before
Still, he couldn't desert her
Arisumi "....Why?"
The evening sun has starting to sink and signs of night were appearing
Just like the air, his mind was feeling cold.
His head had a throbbing pain. He felt thirsty
A strange dry feeling
He understood that it wasn't his throat that was dry
Its somewhere deep in the body
With an unstable mind, the body will also fall into a slump
Not enough, a dry feeling.
As if the body wanted to run away from the cruel reality
Arisumi "Nothing will change with running away..."
That's right. Nothing will change with running away
Since his father died, he told himself this so many times
Since that day, he vowed to protect his mother.
Then, why is he running away
He needs to return home soon...
As he thought that and was about turn around.....
Voice "Alice."
A strange man was standing there.
A slender body containing an overwhelming presence
Still, until he called out, his presence could not be felt
Arisumi ".....Eh?"
Arisumi was surprised and the man, in turn, was surprised at him.
Man " Wait a minute...Alice. How cruel. Did you forget about me?"
The man gave a curious glance to the speechless Arisumi.
man "what's wrong?"
Even if he was asked, Arisumi can't find the right words.
It has to be because of that
On the top of the tall man's head, there were ears. No matter how you look at them, they were
rabbit ears
Arisumi "Ears...."
Man "what's wrong with my ears ?"
The man's ears moved slightly to react to the words.
Man "Alice."
The man gazed at Arisumi as if he was looking at something amusing
His pupils were a bright red color as they stood out in the dark night
Arisumi felt drawn in by those eyes and desperately tried to answer back
Arisumi "Um....Excuse me, my name is Miyano Arisumi. Not Alice...."
The man narrowed his glance at Arisumi, who was trying to put some distance between them.
Man "Because the air is so stuffy here, its easy to forget to one's childhood memories. But its still so sad...."
The man who was saying nonsensical things, no matter which way you look at it, seemed suspicious.
Man "I'm White Rabbit. Did you really forget about me?"
Arisumi "....."
The man who called himself white rabbit, dropped his shoulder a bit at the cautious Arisumi.
White Rabbit "Well, it can't be helped."
As he says that, he took out a small bottle from his breast pocket
White Rabbit "Hey Alice. Drink this"
Even with strange atmophere and White Rabbit's speech, his eyes were drawn the bottle.
Arisumi "....huh?"
White Rabbit "Its medicine"
The liquid inside the small bottle was a vivid red color, same as White Rabbit's eyes.
White Rabbit "Are you going to drink it?"
Arisumi "What...."
The distance between them suddenly shortened
Choice (A)LOOK AWAY or (B) WILLFULLY REFUSE
If A is chosen
White Rabbit's words had an air to them, that made it hard to refuse
Arisumi " You....what are you sa...."
Even though the evening sun has long set, Arisumi felt the same uneasiness from the red evening glow
Arisumi unconsciously turned his eyes away.
White rabbit laughed gladly when he saw that.
White Rabbit "You really are ALice. My dear beloved Alice."
Arisumi's arm is gripped.
Arisumi ".....ugh..."
The bottle with the red liquid was made to grip in his hand.
A color more red than the evening sun.
Instinctive fear was felt.
________________________________________________________________________
If B is chosen
Arisumi suppressed his impulse to run away and glared at White Rabbit
No matter how hard he pulls, the gripped arm doesn't come loose
Arisumi "Who would drink this shady looking thing...."
Arisumi opened his palm that held the bottle
The bottle made a small sound as it smashed on the ground
White Rabbit "Ahhhh....How cruel, Alice...."
White Rabbit drew Arisumi to him, who was trying get himself free
Arisumi "Let go!"
White Rabbit touched the resisting Arisumi's cheek.
As his face came closer, behind White Rabbit's glasses, Arisumi saw himself reflected in his red pupils.
Instinctive fear was felt.
______________________________________________________________________________
White Rabbit gripped the back of Arisumi's neck.
White Rabbit "Here. Drink it"
Arisumi "You. What are....mm.."
White Rabbit brought his face close to Arisumi and kissed him.
Without allowing any resistance, he felt something forcefully go down his parched throat.
Arisumi "...! Cough!"
Arisumi used all his strength and managed to free himself from the grip.
Arisumi "....What exactly are you....."
Unexpectedly, a faint sound was heard
Arisumi "What..."
A sound that seemed to come directly from his mind kept growing louder and loouder.
A rhythmic sound. This was ......
Arisumi "Clock?"
Suddenly, his view became distorted.
Arisumi ".......gasp?!"
Headache and suffocating feeling that wasn't only caused by the current confusion.
As if the blood is flowing the other way, his body became weak.
Arisumi "What......"
Arisumi looked up at the White Rabbit in the shaking view.
White Rabbit "That why I said. I came to get you."
Suddenly, the view behind White Rabbit turned bright red.
Even though the view was a night sky spread over a narrow house a minute ago.
White Rabbit "Welcome, Alice. No, it should be - Welcome home"
White Rabbit expanded his arms as if he was introducing a wonderful thing.
White Rabbit "Country of the underground. This is where you are supposed to be."
His knees fell to the ground, where it changed from concrete to dark colored soil.
The soil is relatively warm compared to the red evening glow.
Arisumi "Where...is this....What is this place...?"
White Rabbit "Country of underground. The place where you are going to spend the rest of your life.
White Rabbit naturally declared to the confused Arisumi.
White Rabbit hastily shortened the distance between them.
White Rabbit slowly walked towards him. As if he was confirming Arisumi's reaction. Slowly.
Arisumi "Get away from me!"
Arisumi started to back away slowly.
Arisumi "This is....a dream."
White Rabbit "Dream? What a funny thing to say. You can't go back to the land above. I won't let you."
Arisumi ".....ugh.."
His back strikes the trunk of a large tree.
White Rabbit "Why are you running away?"
Arisumi "....."
White Rabbit "I want you to become mine."
White Rabbit reached towards Arisumi.
_______________________________________________________
CHOICE A) STAY THERE or B) RUN AWAY
_______________________________________________________
If A is chosen
Arisumi suppressed his urge to run away and felt the touch of a large hand on his cheeks.
White Rabbit "Alice. Finally, we get to meet."
Arisumi "Wha...?"
Both arms have now confined him and removed any chance of escape
Arisumi "Let go!"
His raised arms were easily caught and sealed off any movement.
Arisumi "......"

White Rabbit's words had an air to them, that made it hard to refuse
Arisumi " You....what are you sa...."
Even though the evening sun has long set, Arisumi felt the same uneasiness from the red evening glow
Arisumi unconsciously turned his eyes away.
White rabbit laughed gladly when he saw that.
White Rabbit "You really are ALice. My dear beloved Alice."
Arisumi's arm is gripped.
Arisumi ".....ugh..."
The bottle with the red liquid was made to grip in his hand.
A color more red than the evening sun.
Instinctive fear was felt.

If B is chosen
Arisumi suppressed his impulse to run away and glared at White Rabbit
No matter how hard he pulls, the gripped arm doesn't come loose
Arisumi "Who would drink this shady looking thing...."
Arisumi opened his palm that held the bottle
The bottle made a small sound as it smashed on the ground
White Rabbit "Ahhhh....How cruel, Alice...."
White Rabbit drew Arisumi to him, who was trying get himself free
Arisumi "Let go!"
White Rabbit touched the resisting Arisumi's cheek.
As his face came closer, behind White Rabbit's glasses, Arisumi saw himself reflected in his red pupils.
Instinctive fear was felt.

White Rabbit gripped the back of Arisumi's neck.
White Rabbit "Here. Drink it"
Arisumi "You. What are....mm.."
White Rabbit brought his face close to Arisumi and kissed him.
Without allowing any resistance, he felt something forcefully go down his parched throat.
Arisumi "...! Cough!"
Arisumi used all his strength and managed to free himself from the grip.
Arisumi "....What exactly are you....."
Unexpectedly, a faint sound was heard
Arisumi "What..."
A sound that seemed to come directly from his mind kept growing louder and loouder.
A rhythmic sound. This was ......
Arisumi "Clock?"
Suddenly, his view became distorted.
Arisumi ".......gasp?!"
Headache and suffocating feeling that wasn't only caused by the current confusion.
As if the blood is flowing the other way, his body became weak.
Arisumi "What......"
Arisumi looked up at the White Rabbit in the shaking view.
White Rabbit "That why I said. I came to get you."
Suddenly, the view behind White Rabbit turned bright red.
Even though the view was a night sky spread over a narrow house a minute ago.
White Rabbit "Welcome, Alice. No, it should be - Welcome home"
White Rabbit expanded his arms as if he was introducing a wonderful thing.
White Rabbit "Country of the underground. This is where you are supposed to be."
His knees fell to the ground, where it changed from concrete to dark colored soil.
The soil is relatively warm compared to the red evening glow.
Arisumi "Where...is this....What is this place...?"
White Rabbit "Country of underground. The place where you are going to spend the rest of your life.
White Rabbit naturally declared to the confused Arisumi.
White Rabbit hastily shortened the distance between them.
White Rabbit slowly walked towards him. As if he was confirming Arisumi's reaction. Slowly.
Arisumi "Get away from me!"
Arisumi started to back away slowly.
Arisumi "This is....a dream."
White Rabbit "Dream? What a funny thing to say. You can't go back to the land above. I won't let you."
Arisumi ".....ugh.."
His back strikes the trunk of a large tree.
White Rabbit "Why are you running away?"
Arisumi "....."
White Rabbit "I want you to become mine."
White Rabbit reached towards Arisumi.

If A is chosen
Arisumi suppressed his urge to run away and felt the touch of a large hand on his cheeks.
White Rabbit "Alice. Finally, we get to meet."
Arisumi "Wha...?"
Both arms have now confined him and removed any chance of escape
Arisumi "Let go!"
His raised arms were easily caught and sealed off any movement.
Arisumi "......"
