Beyond
Yui sat on the window seat as she continuously fan the book Reiji lent her to ease the roasting summer heat she's currently suffering from. Among the four seasons, summer is supposed to be her most awaited time of the year, but then she realized that this summer, next summer and the summers to come won't be the same; she won't be spending it in the beach with her friends or on an out of town trip with her father just like before. The moments, chances and the people she took for granted are gone. She might never be able to look forward for summer or for the future, her chest will only hurt thinking of how miserable she'll be. Just like how a prey should be kept, she'll be cooped up in this place for the rest of her life with those cruel Sakamaki monsters who'll mock her until she inspire her last breath. She already went through thinking of her own death; she'll quietly exit the scene without anyone knowing, no funeral being held, no people crying over her grave, no one mourning over her death. Forgotten and abandoned she'll be addressed and displayed as one of Kanato's dolls.
"Why the long face, bitch-chan?"
"Are you even listening chichinashi?"
She averted her eyes at the setting sun to the speaker "What is it, Ayato?" she tried to keep her voice even, but annoyance slipped mid-way. She thought he would complain or point it out, but he didn't seem to notice or maybe something urgent came up for him to set his pride aside, not to mention the whole cast is here "What's going on?" as the question came the poor human quietly prayed they won't do anything that could end her life. Despite the fact that her future has been decided she refuses and denies it, still hoping that she's just having a long nightmare, and soon her beloved father will come to wake her up. A lie she made herself believe to keep her sanity.
"Brace yourself bitch-chan for the biggest shock of your life"
Reiji gave her a sharp look and answered "We have guests who claim to be your sons"
"Since when did you became a mother, how, when, where, and who is the father?" Subaru interrogated
"Those punks are better be lying, chichinashi"
Startled, Yui raised a hand to hold the commotion "W-what are you talking about?" She stood up and placed a hand on her chest "I'm born a virgin, never been touched and I plan to keep it that way, so what you're accusing me of is-..."
"Impossible" Laito interrupted "See, exactly what I said Bitch-chan here is still a virgin"
"As if we can trust a womanizer's words"
"Dear me, do I really have to state the obvious for you brother?" The debonair taunted enjoying the intimidating expression of Subaru "She was raised by the church thus growing up believing a false God. Women like her values virginity more than anything else"
"Can you morons stop talking about virginity?" Kanato joined in the argument "We got the point; you've been there, done it, enjoyed it" the boy hugged the stuffed animal he has been carrying all along tighter "No one will question an expert like you ever again"
If only they weren't dead serious about this it wouldn't feel wrong to laugh at how silly the topic is "So, where are they?"
Fixing his glasses the man answered "Downstairs" with his usual stern voice "Come, let us confirm the legitimacy of their words" he turned on his heels heading towards the door but stopped half way to add "Even though it'll be absurd to believe such, and confirming it would be a waste of time, even so this matter needs immediate attention"
