突然、目の前が真っ暗闇に閉ざされた。%K%P
Without warning, I was plunged into complete darkness.

瞬間――左腕に激痛が走る。%K%P
And a moment later――a sharp pain traveled up my left arm.

焼けるような凄まじい痛み。%K%P
The pain was agonizing, as if I were being burned.

悟「ぐっ！」%K%P
Guh!

たまらず悲鳴をあげた。%K%P
Unable to stand it, I cried out.

なんだ！？%K%P
What is it?!

なにが起きたんだ！？%K%P
What the hell happened?!

オレは混乱の極致に陥った。%K%P
I gave in and began to panic.

待て。落ち着け。落ち着くんだ。%K%P
Wait. Calm down. Calm down!

落ち着いて考えるんだ。冷静に状況を理解しろ。%K%P
Calm down and think. Look at the situation with a cool head.

ズキズキと疼く腕の痛みをこらえながら、オレは脳をフル回転させた。%K%P
Enduring the throbbing pain in my arm, I reeled my brain around and forced it to think.

匂い……。%K%P
The smell....

空気の匂いが違う。%K%P
The room smelled odd.

肌に感じる室温も。%K%P
"Odd" was also the word to describe the way the room's temperature felt against my skin.

それだけじゃない。%K%P
And that wasn't all.

身体の感覚や、身にまとっている服の感触も変わっていた。%K%P
My physical senses, even the feeling of clothes against my skin, had undergone a complete change.

そもそも、先程までは座っていたはずなのに、今のオレは立っている。%K%P
In the first place, why is it that I'm standing up right now when I was sitting down just a moment ago?

つまり――転移したのだ。スフィアに。%K%P
In other words――I had transferred. To SPHIA.

この暗闇は……なぜだ！？%K%P
...Why's it so dark?!

それにこの腕の痛みは！？%K%P
And what's this pain in my arm?!

とてつもない痛みだった。ちょっとやそっとのケガではない。%K%P
The pain was unbearable. I could tell it was no minor wound.

痛みの感じから推測するに、これは切り傷のようだ。%K%P
Judging from it, I had probably been cut.

それもざっくりと切られている。%K%P
And pretty roughly, at that.

ドクドクと血も流れ出ているらしい。%K%P
A large amount of blood seemed to be flowing steadily from the wound.

いったい、なにが起きたっていうんだ！？%K%P
Just what the hell happened?!

オレは目を凝らして周囲を見渡した。%K%P
Squinting, I took in my surroundings.

ぼんやりと景色が浮かび上がってくる。%K%P
As though through a haze, I could gradually see the area around me.

ここはリビング……か。%K%P
I'm in the living area, huh...?

悟「はっ！」%K%P!
Ah!

気配を感じ、振り返る。%K%P
Sensing another's presence, I turned around.

誰か……いる。%K%P
There was... someone there.

闇の向こうに人影が見えた。%K%P
I could see a human silhouette in the darkness.

人影はそう遠くないところに立っている。%K%P
It was standing not too far from me.

だが、それが誰なのかは識別できない。%K%P
However, I couldn't make out who it was.

誰だ！？　誰なんだ……！？%K%P
Who... Who's there...?!

謎の人物の右手には、なにかが握りしめられていた。%K%P
The unknown person's right hand was holding something.

キラリと冷たい光を放つなにか……。%K%P
Something that was reflecting a cold light....

刃物だ。%K%P
It was a knife.

人影は刃物を手にしていた。%K%P
The hand of the silhouette held a knife.

ということは、オレの左腕はあいつに斬りつけられたってことか！？%K%P
So this bastard is the one who cut my left hand?!

フラッシュバックのように、昨日の記憶が蘇る。%K%P
A memory from yesterday arose like a flashback.

――時計台からの転落。%K%P
――My fall from the clock tower.

――バスタブで溺れかけたこと。%K%P
――My attempted drowning in the bathtub.

信じがたいことではあったが、やはりオレの命は狙われていたらしい。%K%P
It was still hard to believe, but it appeared that someone really was after my life.

恐らく、その犯人が遂に姿を現わしたのだ。%K%P
And now, my attacker had finally appeared before me.

刃物を持った何者かは、オレの方に向かって近づいてくる。%K%P
Knife in hand, the shadow slowly began to approach me.

ゆっくりと……ゆっくりと……。%K%P
Slowly... slowly....

床の上を滑るように、オレとの距離を詰めてくる。%K%P
As if the shadow was sliding across the floor, the distance between us quickly lessened.

背筋に冷たいものが走った。%K%P
A chill ran up my spine.

どうして暗いままなんだ！？　電気は！？　明かりはどこだ！？%K%P
Why was it so dark?! Where was the electricity?! Where were the lights?!

刃物はぐんぐんと近づいてくる。%K%P
The knife drew ever closer.

白刃が再びキラリと輝いた。%K%P
The exposed blade glittered in the dark.

――殺される！%K%P
――I'll be killed!

直感したオレは……。%K%p
Instinctively, I....

立ち向かう
Stand my ground

逃げる
Run away

反射的に床を蹴り上げ、そいつに向かって跳びかかった。%K%P
Reflexively, I kicked off from the floor and launched myself toward the shadow.

人影はオレの行動が予想外だったのか、うろたえたような素振りを見せた。%K%P
My actions may have caught it by surprise, as it took a stance that revealed its bewilderment.

チャンスだ！%K%P
This is my chance!

この隙に刃物さえ奪えば――。%K%P
If I can use this opening to disarm it――

オレはそいつの右腕を押さえつけにかかった。%K%P
I grabbed for its right arm.

しかし！%K%P
But!

悟「ぐぅっ！」%K%P
Guh!

両腕を伸ばしかけたとき、左腕に激痛が走った。%K%P
The moment I extended my arms, an unbearable pain ran through the left one.

ケガをしていることを忘れていたのだ。%K%P
I'd forgotten about my injury.

オレはあまりの痛みによろめき、その誰かに向かって倒れ込んだ。%K%P
The overwhelming pain sent me staggering, and I stumbled right in the direction of the silhouette.

もつれあうようにして、死闘を繰り広げる。%K%P
We fell in a tangle to the floor, and a desperate struggle ensued.

やがて……。%K%P
And soon....

悟「ぐぉっ！？」%K%P
Guoh?!

腹部に突き抜けるような痛みが走った。%K%P
A piercing pain ran through my abdomen.

熱い。燃えるように熱い痛み。%K%P
Hot. A burning hot pain.

とたんに込み上げてくる嘔吐感。%K%P
Instantly, nausea overcame me. I felt vomit welling up in my throat.

なにかを大量に吐き出した。%K%P
I voided a large quantity of something onto the floor.

オレは……刺された……のか？%K%P
Was I... stabbed...?

視界が歪む。平衡感覚が狂う。%K%P
My vision blurred. My sense of balance disappeared.

オレは闇の中に溶け込むようにして、その場に、ゆっくりと……倒れていった。%K%P
As if I were melting into the darkness, slowly... I collapsed.

やがて痛みは引いていった。%K%P
Before long, the pain began to dull.

オレの五感は徐々に消失していき、しだいになにも感じなくなっていった。%K%P
My senses slowly ceased to operate, and gradually, I felt nothing at all.

いや……。%K%P
No....

暗闇の中、闇よりもさらに暗い『影』がオレには見えた。%K%P
Within the darkness, I saw that "shadow," darker than the night, with my own eyes.

『お前、は……』%K%P
"Y, you're..."

言葉に出す寸前で、オレのくちは『影』の唇によって塞がれた。%K%P
But just before I could get the words out, the lips of the "shadow" obstructed mine.

長い髪がオレの顔にかかった。%K%P
Long hair fell across my face.

それがオレの見た……最期の世界だった……。%K%P
That was... the last thing I ever saw....

身を翻して駆け出した。%K%P
I broke into a run.

どこへ向かって……？%K%P
Where should I go...?

どこだっていい！%K%P
Where would be safe?!

とにかく身を隠せる場所へ！%K%P
And I needed to find a place to hide!

そこまで考えたときだった。%K%P
It was at that moment that I had a thought.

悟「うっ！」%K%P
Uuh!

なにかに足をぶつけた。%K%P
My foot bumped into something.

すねに痛みが走り、派手に転んでしまう。%K%P
Pain ran along my shin as I took a spectacular tumble.

テーブルにつまずいたらしい。%K%P
I'd tripped over the table.

ちっ、起きあがらなくては！%K%P
Damn, I had to get up!

床に両手をつく。%K%P
I push myself up from the floor with both hands.

激痛が左腕を突き抜けた。%K%P
A sharp pain pierced my left arm.

再び倒れ伏し、オレは身もだえた。%K%P
I fell down again, writhing in pain.

ダメだ……。%K%P
It's no good....

ダメだ……このままでは……。%K%P
No good... at this rate....

頭の中で警報が鳴り響く。%K%P
An alarm went off inside my head.

全身に冷たい汗がまとわりつく。%K%P
My entire body was covered in a cold sweat.

このままでは――%K%P
At this rate――

――殺される！！%K%P
――I'll be killed!!
