I walk over to Ronin''s desk,


    noticing that there''s no


    homework laying out


    for me to examine.


    The desk''s flat surface is


    bare, looking as if it hasn''t


    been used.


    "Tetsuya." Ronin says,


    walking into the room.


    I turn around, being


    annoyed,


    "Didn''t you say you needed


    help with your homework?"


    Precious time has been


    wasted.

    I don''t want to keep Tsukino


    waiting for too long.


    "Sorry, I was in the library


    on the third floor."


    Ronin apologizes,


    placing down a mysterious


    looking book that didn''t


    seem to resemble


    a high school text


    book.


    The book is merely


    red, having the title


    in gold letters.


    It says,


    Cast the Die.


    I end up being drawn


    to the book,


    opening the first


    page.


    "What is,"


    Before I can finish


    my question,


    Ronin uses a sharp object


    to pierce through my chest.


    I stare at my younger brother AS


    my eyes widen, being flabbergasted.


    Ronin''s expression is dark as he


    laughs,


    it''s a laugh of sheer madness.
