## History

### Lit it up.

Aiba appeared in the Somnium world in the form of falling from the sky with a ray of light, and joked that she was the god of fire who could burn erotic books. After saying this, Aiba's light around her disappeared and she fell to the ground. Date jokingly told Aiba whether to read porno magazines to regain strength, Aiba insisted on retorting that she should burn them, and then got up and began to observe the surrounding environment. It was pitch black all around, and Aiba found a firefly flying not far away. She followed the trail and found a flower bud. Aiba prayed in front of the bud, causing it to bloom a little bit, and some other objects to investigate appeared nearby.

### Shook Renju.

Aiba found a tree hole and burrowed in, only to fall into another part of the forest. Afterwards, Date and Aiba heard a man calling and they determined to find him. Aiba tackled the trunk of a tree, after which a picture of Renju, Manaka and Hitomi fell from the tree. Aiba picked up and took a look at the photo, found Renju and handed the picture to him. Renju ran away after getting the photo.

### Shook Hitomi.

After Renju left, Aiba found a nearby hole and jumped in, and found herself in another part of the forest, where she heard Hitomi calling for Manaka. To make Hitomi stop running around, Aiba and Date tried to find the next item. Aiba came under a tree with a larger size and yelled "Date likes Hitomi", making Hitomi stop. Then, she sticked her hand into the tree hole and found a cord bracelet, found Hitomi and handed the bracelet to her. Hitomi ran away after getting the bracelet, just like Renju did before.

### Revealed the secret.

After Hitomi left, Aiba found the next hole and jumped in. It became darker all around, and Aiba advanced in the darkness and reached the location where a lycoris flower was. She dug the ground beneath the flower to create a large hole, and jumped into it.

After jumping down the hole, Aiba found herself in the forest during the daytime, and found that not far away, Renju and Hitomi seemed to have just dug up something. Hidden in the deep pit in front of the two is the body of Manaka Iwai, with her right eye taken away.

## Name

* The name "PSYNCIN' IN THE MOUNTaiN" refers to the Okutama Mountains, the location in which this Somnium is modeled after.
* The name of the Somnium's achievement, "MOUNTaiN: Corpse Flower", indicates the lycoris appeared in this Somnium - a flower species that usually bloom near cemeteries, and Japanese people often used these flowers in funerals. The lycoris here represents Manaka Iwai's death.
