Today was the day that I was moving out from my brother’s place and I still hadn’t packed my things. I wasn’t even sure what time my flight was. I looked into the bathroom and saw furniture and laundry bags full of clothes in the tub. I went back to bed in defeat and took out my phone. The moment I unlocked it, a song began playing at full volume and I was unable to turn it down. I tried muffling the sound with a pillow to no avail.

They invited me to hang out after we had gotten out of the pool. I was free until the afternoon so I agreed. At some point, I had passed out on a chair and when I woke up it was nearly 3PM - time for my next class. I hurriedly excused myself and got changed to get to class.

Our class was scheduled for the evening and today we were using a new room. There was a sign to leave our bags in the entrance lobby area so I put down my bag on a chair along with the other students streaming through the room to get to the classrooms within. When I walked into the classroom, I realized that I didn’t have any writing utensils on me.

As we were flying over the valley, I spotted what looked like a plane sticking out of the ground below. I pointed out the window and asked if anyone else saw the same thing I was seeing. A few moments had passed before I felt our plane was rapidly descending. We were headed straight for a building that resembled my elementary school.

When I woke up I checked my phone to see that it was around midnight. However, it was still bright outside. Apparently I was supposed to be at a wedding today. I wanted to scream about the fact that I felt like I had a massive gap in my memory.

I was in the lobby of the hotel and I needed to go to the airport to catch a connecting flight at 17:35. The problem was that I actually had not yet booked said flight and had not arranged for any transportation to get the airport. I looked at my phone to check the messages in my family groupchat about what time the next flight was. My mother said not to bother trying to get the same flight and just pick whatever was most convenient. I walked up the service counter in an attempt to ask about the airport shuttle and was handed a form to fill out in Japanese.

I was being chased down the alley by someone driving a car calling me a traitor. I eventually managed to find an open door and walked into the house and closed the door shut behind me. With no way to lock the door, I had no choice but to hold it shut by leaning my body against it. I looked up to see my brother and father in the room. Apparently it was game night.
