Yo minna! This is my first time doing a PH fic! This takes place after Ritasu is killed by the head hunter. After that, this story differs from the original one! It focused on Break and my OC Reinne, so I hope you enjoy it! :D

Recollection 00: Prologue
The atmosphere in the Rainsworth's house had been gloomy for the past 2 weeks. They're all still shocked of what faith that befalls Ritasu-san. And the look of the beheaded corpse..
It was so terrifying that it haunted their dreams.
Well, Oz is probably the one who's most shocked. He hasn't even say any words since they came back. He just keeps on locking himself in his room, only coming out if it's time for dinner. Gilbert and Alice have been trying to cheer him up, but nothing seems to have an effect on him, so they decided to give the poor lad some time to sort his feelings.
But today is a miracle.
Sharon, Break, Liam, Gil, and Alice are expecting the normal routine these days. Drinking tea, chatting, watching the flower gardens, and still no Oz. But then, when they are sipping some of Rainsworth's fresh brew of English Breakfast, Oz appeared at the doorstep.
"Ara ara, if it isn't Oz-kun! Have you come back to your usual self..? To be honest, I'm getting sick of your pitiful sulking attitude~" Break scoffed while savoring his candy. Oz just stands there sadly when hearing Break's statement. Indeed, his foul mood just destroys the beautiful weather. It has been sunny for the entire week. No clouds are in the sky and the birds are chirping a happy little melody.
*Slap*
Sharon slaps Break hardly on his cheek, a dark aura emanates dangerously around her. "Break, if you said one more word I'll bake a pie using your precious little Emily.." She hissed slowly at Break's ear, and Break immediately shuts up. He knew the tone that his mistress uses indicates that she's being serious with him.
"Oz! Umm.. Would you like some tea..?" Sharon smile hesitantly, trying to change the subject while politely offers Oz a cup of hot tea. Oz returned a faint smile, which the group is happy to see. It's still a smile nonetheless, although it's somewhat looked kind of dull compared to his usual energetic smile. But maybe that's a sign that shows he's getting better. "Yes, it would be nice Sharon-chan." He said, taking the cup of tea rather delicately. His posture is rigid and rather sloppy, so different than how he used to be.
He's so... Unlike himself.
Scratch the statement about he's getting better. He's absolutely NOT fine. He's just pretending that he's fine and he fails badly, and that fact just makes his companions' hearts sting.
"Oz! How much longer do you keep to sulk like this..? You're supposed to be my man servant, aren't you..?" Alice glares at Oz, finally decided that she can't handle this kind of situation anymore. Surprisingly, everyone nods in agreement with the chain. Even the Mad Hatter.
"Alice's right, Oz.. If there's something wrong, it's okay to tell us.. We're your friends, aren't we..?" Sharon said to Oz, her face is scrunched up showing a worried expression.
Silence. And not to mention an extremely awkward one.
And then suddenly, Oz laughed. And not a fake one. This one's genuine, warm, and soft. "Thank you everyone.. Say, how about a tea party..? The weather is awfully nice, and I feel rather guilty for spoiling it.." He said between his laugh while messing Gil's hair. The group is surprised to see the drastic change of Oz's attitude for a minute, but then decided to shrug it off. All that important is that Oz recovered from his sadness, and that's also what it matters the most.
"That's a good idea Oz! Let's do it now!" Alice eyes gleams with a childish happiness, probably thinking how many more lamb patties that she can eat. "Fine! Let's race to the berry garden!" Oz grins mischievously, dragging Alice and Gilbert and quickly dashes out of the room, but soonly followed by Break, Liam, and Sharon.
The group happily inhaled some fresh air, while venturing the berry garden. The strawberries are red and ripe, and the raspberry looked so fresh and juicy. Indeed, this is such a beautiful weather for a tea party. But then like every other stories, something always managed to ruin the happiness.
A sudden heavy aura hits the group, an awfully familiar and terrifying feeling. "Ughh, Oz.. My head.. Hurts..." Alice manage to choke between the pain, her hand is holding the part of her head that hurts. Break also flinched, and quickly shouted, "Oz-kun, everyone look out!"
Suddenly, a black hole appeared from nowhere and something, or rather someone fall out from it. And as the hole disappeared, the group quickly rushes to the mysterious person's side. "Break, is that hole connected to abyss..?" Oz asked frantically to Break, but the man in question just stands there, a surprised expression is plastered on his face.
He suddenly held his head; a look of pain is obviously displayed on his face. "No, it can't be..." He whispered with a confused tone. And suddenly, a wave of nostalgia hits him.
"Hey Kevin.. You'll protect me right..?"
No... It can't be her..
"Why..? Why do you care about me Kevin..?"
She shouldn't be here.. She couldn't be..
"Kevin, please don't leave me alone..."
But then, all of this person's figure just reminded him of her.. It can't be just a coincidence. It just feels wrong.
"It can't be... It can't be you, can it Reinne...?"
Well! I hope this revision edition is better! :)
