Sakuramoria

Closing the door behind her, she quietly recounts.
- I overheard a conversation in town. The storyteller had a strange experience with an acquaintance. She said that she had a very unusual nightmare, as if some demon had grabbed her or something... - she retells the dream to the professor, in the third person and without going into too much detail, so as not to seem suspicious. - ...it seemed like just a dream. What else could an одинокая woman dream about? But she says that in the morning, she found some kind of stigma on her body. Not an illness, but as if some kind of symbol or mark. And then she started acting very strangely, and then she just disappeared, and no one ever saw her again.
Futaba scratched her head and shrugged.
- It sounds like a tall tale or drunken rambling, but it was told so confidently, as if there was no doubt that it all happened. That's why I've been thinking about it ever since - is it even possible? Could it be some kind of curse or magic? You seem to know about these kinds of things.
