( ACTION - 1338 BENNY ROAD )
[Hanako knows that panicking won't do her any good, but that doesn't do much to stop the quick thud-thud of her heart in her chest and throat and ears, or the way she pales immediately upon sweeping open the curtains of the unfamiliar bedroom and seeing a neighborhood she's never been to before in her life.
She splashes water on her face in the strange-looking bathroom and swallows some of it out of her cupped hands. When she looks up, everything is still strange. If she's not dreaming, then what is going on?
It's only once she's downstairs that she runs into a woman with a wide smile that greets her with complete familiarity.]
Hanako, dear! You're finally awake. I've made you some toast. You're going to be late for school if you don't eat up now!
I-I-! [Her eyes widen, and she steps back quickly. Who is this woman? Where is she? She wants to ask, but the words won't come, and so she flees, running for the front door of the house and struggling to open it.]
( ACTION - MAYFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY )
[A few hours later, Hanako is no less confused, but she's found a library. It's not her library, the one at Yamaku, but the quiet building and musty smell of old books is comforting, in a way. She's retreated to a corner with some books- strange; she could only find ones on cooking, fashion, and the like- and is sitting with a few on her lap as she tries to figure out just what is going on and where she is. Some may happen to notice the girl sitting there, trembling from head to toe; her long, dark hair covers half of her face, only lending more to the appearance of wanting to curl in on herself and disappear.
Lilly would know what to do, she thinks, but Lilly's not here.
Eventually, if your character walks by, Hanako will call out to them, her voice a soft, timid squeak.]
U-um... E-excuse me...!
