Why is my anime art style so weird?

"?"

Natsuki Subaru turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.

To everyone's surprise, Betty changed her previous indifference and put on a mysterious smile.

That smile sent a chill down Natsuki Subaru's spine.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't go out at night!"

Natsuki Subaru's heart skipped a beat! Those were the very words Ram had warned him about last night.

"you!?"

Just as Natsuki Subaru was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that both Betty and the cat Puck in her arms were looking at them with a very strange gaze.

That look was like someone scrutinizing a doll trapped in a toy house...

Natsuki Subaru felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of dread creeping over him.

"Thank you for reminding me. I'm going back to my room now."

After saying that, Subaru Natsuki turned and left.

As he reached the corner, Subaru Natsuki casually glanced back over the shoulder.

To his surprise, Betty was still standing there, her head slightly lowered, her eyes shrouded in shadow, and he didn't know what she was doing.

Natsuki Subaru shuddered and quickly left.

When he returned to his room, he immediately closed the door and pressed his ear against it, listening quietly to the sounds coming from the hallway.

After a while, there was still no movement in the corridor.

The entire mansion was calm and peaceful.

Could it really be my imagination?

Natsuki Subaru found himself in a dilemma.

Time passed slowly, and soon the clock hands pointed to twelve o'clock.

Boom!

Natsuki Subaru felt a sudden pang of unease; it was as if something terrible had happened in this mansion.

Most importantly, he was very familiar with this feeling!

Has it started again?!

Natsuki Subaru gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and quietly went out.

If everything last night was just a nightmare for him, then at most he would have been scolded by the mansion owner for wandering around outside at night.

If everything that happened last night was true, then he absolutely cannot stay in his room and wait to die!

The corridor was pitch black, with only the sound of his own footsteps echoing through it.

A gust of wind blew in from outside, and the glass windows in the corridor immediately made a series of clicking sounds, as if someone was shaking the windows from the outside trying to get in.

It was unclear which window was not properly closed, but the wind mixed with rain blew into the corridor, immediately making Natsuki Subaru feel a bone-chilling cold.

call!

The huge curtains suddenly swayed, as if something was emerging from inside.

Gudong!

Natsuki Subaru felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help but swallow.

This eerie environment reminded him of the test of courage he and his friends used to hold in the summers of his childhood.

In an attempt to show off, he chose to go alone to the abandoned shrine deep in the mountains.

Just like now, the surrounding scenery was hazy and hidden in the pitch-black night, and strange noises came from nearby from time to time, as if something was always following him...

Snapped!

A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

"what!"

Natsuki Subaru was startled.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

Turning my head, pink hair instantly came into view—it was Ram!?

Ram was carrying something that looked like a lantern, staring at him with a cold expression.

Natsuki Subaru felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

The person he's most afraid to face right now is Ram.

What happened last night has left him with a huge psychological scar on Ram.

Throughout the day, whenever he saw Ram, he felt a dull ache in his shoulders and neck.

"No, I didn't do anything... I just couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Subaru Natsuki stammered, while cautiously observing Ram out of the corner of his eye.

I was afraid she would go crazy again like she did last night.

After hearing this, Ram frowned.

Seeing the change in her expression, Natsuki Subaru was immediately startled and took a half step back, adopting a defensive stance.

Ram's face seemed even darker.

"What on earth are you doing?"

Natsuki Subaru also realized that he seemed to be overreacting, so he quickly put his hand down and laughed awkwardly.

Ram shook his head helplessly.

"Come with me."

As he spoke, he turned on the lamp and walked forward.

"Where?"

Subaru Natsuki asked cautiously.

Ram glanced at him and replied indifferently.

"Go to the kitchen, I'll get you a glass of milk."

"Oh, thank you."

Natsuki Subaru didn't know whether to be happy or frustrated.

Ram did not appear to be going berserk.

And so, in the pitch-black corridor, one footstep turned into two.

Ram led Subaru Natsuki towards the restaurant on the first floor.

Meow~!

A cat's meow suddenly came from the darkness.

Natsuki Subaru subconsciously turned his head to look.

But they discovered that the gray cat Parker had been hiding in a corner at some point.

In the darkness, a pair of cat-like eyes, glowing yellow, were staring intently at him.

Then Parker turned around and slowly retreated into the darkness.

However, before it completely disappeared, it looked back at Subaru Natsuki one last time.

With just that one glance, Subaru Natsuki shuddered violently and involuntarily shivered.

What's wrong with this cat? It looks so weird!

"La, Ram".

Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but call out to Ram beside him.

However, there was no response.

"Ram?"

Natsuki Subaru called out as he turned his head.

There was no one around...

A chill ran from his feet to his head, and Natsuki Subaru stared in disbelief at the spot where Ram had once stood.

They were currently in a long corridor, with the nearest door more than ten meters away.

He heard no footsteps or any sound; Ram had simply vanished into thin air!?

A perfectly healthy person vanished right under his nose!?

Natsuki Subaru instantly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

Apart from his breathing, there was not a sound in the corridor.

It was pitch black both in front and behind.

The long corridor in front of me seemed like the entrance to hell...

"Oh right, Ram said earlier that she was going to the kitchen."

She must have gone to the kitchen beforehand, that's for sure!

Natsuki Subaru muttered to himself as a smile that looked more like a grimace appeared on his face.

He can only deceive himself like this.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that his legs would be so weak that he wouldn't be able to walk.

So, Natsuki Subaru walked nervously toward the kitchen on the first floor. The darkness around him seemed to be stirring and about to swallow him up at any moment.

The dark mansion looked even more terrifying.
