(Translated and Arranged by Saya)

This is something that happened to me a long time ago, when my then girlfriend, whom I was together with for a few years, passed away. 

I was able to keep a few of her belongings as keepsakes, and among them, there was one of the matching pair of stone omamori (Note:an amulet) which we bought together. 

I was sad and depressed, and it took me a long time to recover from the shock of losing her.

But about a year after her death, something happened that helped me to finally to let go of the grief and move on. 

One night, I went to sleep but woke up again a little while later. 

I opened my eyes and looked around, but all the things in my room were arranged as they used to be two years ago. 

My mind was still foggy from sleep, and I was staring confusedly at my room, when my girlfriend walked in through the door. 

She took out one of our omamori from a drawer, and then smiled at me. 

“You’re ok now, so you don’t need this anymore. Good luck! I’ll be cheering for you.” 

She said, and walked out of the room. 

I don’t remember exactly what happened right after this, but when I came to, I was back in my usual room.

Everything in my room was arranged the same way as it was yesterday. 

All was back to normal. 

I quickly opened the drawer, and found there was only one omamori left in there. 

I still keep the omamori with me and I will treasure it forever. 

It has already been seven years since this happened.
