Yuuta blinked, his crimson eyes fixed on the floor.
"...Huh?"
He hadn't moved. The faint light entering through the prison bars hadn't changed either, yet something about the darkness beneath him seemed different. Yuuta stared at his own shadow for several seconds, unsure whether his exhausted mind was playing tricks on him.
"...Did I just see my shadow move?"
Yuuta narrowed his eyes and continued watching it. For one uncomfortable moment, he had the bizarre sensation that the shadow was watching him back. It almost felt alive, as though something inside that darkness was staring at him and waiting to come out.
A slight tremble passed through Yuuta's body.
Having a demon stare at him was one thing. Feeling as though his own shadow was staring back at him was far more disturbing.
After another few seconds, Yuuta sighed and shook his head.
"I'm hallucinating."
