Prologue (Kanda Yuu): A vast pond and a single lotus floating on it…

Everything seemed to go wrong that day. He was fired from his job in the FBI because of the shortage in pay for the workers. He forgot to pay for the bills, so the electricity company cut off the light from his home, and now he can't reach the one person he thought would make it all better. He kept on calling, kept on being sent to the voicemail each time.

'Shit, c'mon, answer!' He closed his cell phone once again. He was mad. Frustrated, because she wasn't answering, she hasn't answered ever since he made his first call to her in the morning, about an hour after he left to work, that thought made him terrifyingly uneasy.

'At least let me know your fucking okay.' He thought as his foot pressed on the accelerator more than what the speed limit required.

He remembered she was being a bit weird in the morning. She made him breakfast like always, his favorite dish by the way. Treated him lovingly, expressed her affection towards him like always, but she seemed to do it in a manner that made him feel an uncomfortable feeling of dread, as if something bad was going to happen to her. He was afraid that if he didn't hold her and make her feel protected, she would beautifully crumble to the ground below him.

She was such a fragile soul, like porcelain doll; that even if one grazes a finger on the smooth surface of the doll, it would crackle beneath and suddenly break entirely.

"Are you feeling well? Want me to stay today?" He asked with such feelings of concern.

"No, I'm ok. I just need some rest that is all. I promise that when you get back home, you will see me much calmer than I have ever been." She said in a voice so resolved in an event that was given to her by fate that was so tragic and would surely affect him. He hated that determination in her voice; he wished he could somehow make her stress, pain, insecurities, ease away slowly.

"So you just go to your work and worry about nothing else than your job. Alright?" With that she gave him a farewell kiss on the cheek and gave him a bright smile, but not so bright as to cover her sorrowful eyes.

"Ok then, but if you feel sick or worse, just call me ok? And I will come right away." He stood up and leaned down to plant a kiss of affection and love on her forehead.

"Shit! I knew I should have stayed with her. Shit!" He said as he was parking in front of his home and turned off the car's engine. He got out in a fast pace and went up to the door and hesitated not a second, to open up the door with his keys and went inside.

"Alma! I'm back! Are you feeling better?" He said in a loud enough voice for it to resound thorough out the entire house. Silence just responded back to his question. He was feeling much more uneasy without her responding to him or welcoming him back.

Thump. He heard a thumping sound from the distance as he started to walk towards the hallway that led to their room.

Thump. He heard again. It sounded as if something was hitting the wall or floor.

"Alma?" He said, a slight quiver, not out of fright, escaped as well.

THUMP. It got louder as he got to the door to their room. He stood a moment in front of it. Deliberating if he should open it or not. His hand slowly gripped the handle and twisted it, and the locks and machinery of it making the door open inside. He pushed the door slowly inside of the room and just as it got wide enough for him to pass, he heard it again.

"Alma-?"

THUMP. His eyes grew wide as his brain processed the sight in front of him, her statement from before coming to mind again. 'No, I'm ok. I just need some rest that is all. I promise that when you get back home, you will see me much calmer than I have ever been.' Her body, Alma's body, was swaying slightly side to side as her it was hanging lifelessly and her neck was tied into a tight noose, tight enough to cut the oxygen out of her body. Her eyes were dead, soulless, and yet she wore on the most beautiful soothing smile she has ever worn in her life, as if she were happy at that moment.

He turned around to see the wall on his right and the words 'I'm sorry' were written down on blue.

His feet then started giving out each second and were leading him outside the room, his house, and suddenly he was sitting on the driver's seat of his car as he was turning the engine on, going to who know where but his mind was telling him to drive himself away, away from his once home, away from her and her resolve.

Thoughts, words, memories, of them both were running through his mind as he was driving. A loud honk from a trailer then made his way to his ears, but it was too late, as it crashed to the side where he was and sent the car flying to the other side of the street. Suddenly he didn't feel as devastated as much as he was from what Alma did. He wasn't sad of her death, he felt betrayed by her, because she preferred her happiness instead of his- their happiness, even though they were a couple. She left him in the cruel world filled with evil souls, she left him alone.

'Ha…is this what you wanted? For me to leave you? Then there you have it, now come back and live happily.' His final thought as he felt a slight rush of unexplainable pain all over his body and then it all went away.

Yes, everything seemed to go wrong that day for the now dead widowed Japanese gentleman, Kanda Yuu.
