Rika is not the only one who remembers but Keiichi as well. What if their knowledge lands the group right in the middle of the cover up effort of an organization that shouldn't exist? Will they be erased by this organization? Will they even survive?

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Keiji

Prologue: Wheel of Destiny

Crimson blood dripped from their blades. Their expressionless faces gleamed in the pale moonlight. Furude Rika laid mutilated and bleeding, wrapped in her own futon.

Rika awoke with a start. She gasped for air forcefully, sweat poured from her forehead. "That vision…That horrible rip in reality…I will never escape my fate, no matter how I try." The girl stood up on wavering, unsteady legs. She took a deep breath to steady herself before tiptoeing over to the window; careful not to wake Satoko she went up onto the window sill.

Why, why can we not change our destiny? Is our fate so cursed that we cannot do anything to change it? A small, almost pitiful whisper seemed to blow in from the open window.

Rika shook her head violently. "No, no, it is impossible! We will die a horrible death, over and over and over again!"

Then it wouldn't hurt to try! If we are going to die anyway then what could be the harm?

Rika went quiet as if contemplating the words. "Fine, do as you wish." That night the wheel of fate began to take a new course.
