"No way….." I let


    out a shaky breath.


    Not knowing if I


    should cry or


    laugh.


    Tetsu and I are


    dead.


    The more this


    realization hits,


    the worse my


    psyche begins


    to break


    losing the small


    sanity it kept


    all this time.


    "Don''t give in!"


    Tetsuya warns,


    grabbing both


    of my hands.


    I almost unconsciously


    scratched at my neck.

    "T-That weirdo….."


    I begin to sob, noticing


    the other thing he did


    to me in that distant


    and real memory.


    "If you give into


    your death,


    Ronin wins."


    Tetsuya reveals.


    "Didn''t he already


    win?" I asks bitterly,


    wishing I had the


    strength to kill


    Ronin for what


    HE DID TO US.


    THAT BASTARD.


    WHAT A LUNATIC!


    Calming my thoughts is


    a white flashing and


    gentle light.


    It blinds my eyes


    before restoring


    my sight and


    mind.


    Tetsuya is firmly


    hugging me.


    I sniffle and hug


    back.


    "I''m sorry this happened.


    If only I wasn''t stupid


    enough to fall for


    Ronin''s


    lie."


    Tetsu apologizes.


    I reply back, "It''s okay.


    Neither of us knew


    his true intentions


    before it was


    too late."
