Aisha was still sharing a bed with Shari, facing each other, and Aisha keenly noticed Shari's peculiar state.
Shari was devoid of any sleepiness, her eyes filled with fear and hesitation, as though she wanted to tell Aisha something but was afraid.
"Shari, stop dwelling on those things. It will all pass."
Aisha forced a smile, holding Shari's hand in comfort, recalling how she herself hadn't fared much better when she first arrived in the Nightmare World.
After saying that, Aisha closed her eyes, intending to sleep, instinctively assuming Shari was merely frightened by the hand-holding ritual and the sudden appearance of the corpse.
But the next second, Shari seemed to gather enough courage, leaning close to Aisha's ear and whispering so that only the two of them could hear, "I saw the ghost that killed Davi."
