walking in a dream

Kentaro had wandered. This was not an exceptionally rare thing. What was rare about it was that he'd apparently wandered far. Far enough that he no longer knew where he was or where, exactly, he was going. The crash of waves was a familiar sound in his ears, but the earth beneath his feet was not. He did not know these trees, these smells, this ocean. 

It had been a blip. A moment where his eyes had shut, just for a second, and the entire world had become something new. 

For several long moments, he stopped. Stared. Wondered. 

What was he doing here, exactly? The reason for his wandering seemed to elude him, clouding his mind, halting his sure steps. The strangeness of the isles he existed on seemed to permeate his very core, unsettling and somehow simultaneously trying to convince him that he had always been here. 

But he hadn't. 

The image of Kei popped into the back of his mind, which was strange, because he was pretty sure he hadn't seen her in years. Was he looking for her? The memory of her banishment still stung in his chest - he hadn't spoken up when he should have. Hadn't stood up for what was right. He'd tried to fix it - to find her - multiple times in the past, but none of his searches had come up fruitful. 

Maybe... he'd been looking for her? 

That sort of sounded right. But why here? And wasn't it weird that he was alone?

Taking a deep breath, Kentaro tilted his head back, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"HELLO???"

Surely someone would've heard that.
