I looked into her eyes, and I saw it all.

Garnet stains danced on the walls in sync to the mix of violent retching and psychopathic laughter. I turned my head, and through weak eyes I could see a hand reached out in front of me, a paralyzed expression of fear written on a familiar face. I heard a gunshot, ugly sobbing, and then a splicing sound. A pair of arms landed at my feet, splashing droplets of blood onto the white apron that was torn and barely tied around my waist. I looked back up and saw a person screaming as they were lifted up by their hair and yanked away. I saw them clawing back at me and yelling for me to help them.

I couldn't move. I felt something pulsating through my body and I just froze. I didn't matter how important they were or that emotion of loving that was stirring the adrenaline inside of me, it all froze as the cries of my friends were silenced in an instant as the black haired man took a knife to the neck of the boy before me.

"No..." I whimpered desperately, "STOP IT!" I clawed at my head, shaking it and looking away. The words flowing from my mouth weren't my own, and I couldn't stop the images from flying in, no matter how hard I tried.

"STOP IT! GIVE HIM BACK TO ME! GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE SETO BACK!"

"Alright then..." A sibilant tone hissed at me, "Take him."

A head with a paralyzed expression of horror rolled over to me. I started to scream out incomprehensible words and phrases as my tiny fragile hands fumbled in attempts to pick up the decapitated head. I held it close to me and tears melted together with the blood as the murder just kicked away corpse after corpse, clearing a path before he faced me once more. He watched me with an emotionless look before it warped into pure joy within this tragedy.

"Isn't this wonderful! Look at how this tragedy is unfolding! What will you do about it, I wonder?" He snickered and threw his head back, only to snap it back up and walk over to me with a displeased face, "Stop your whining already...he's dead. If you really want him back, then reset it all, and prevent this from happening."

"Reset it...?" I asked through disgusting sniffles.

"Yes, bitch. Now hurry up and do it, or else...I'll play with this one next..." He peeled back a wall of snakes to reveal a woman with white hair who was clearly unconscious and from the amount of tears that began to flow, I knew she was someone important.

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE!" I yelled.

"Then reset it! Reset it all and see if you can stop this tragedy!"

And slowly, everything came to a stop, and I was back to staring face to face with a young girl with pinkish red eyes. I was startled at first, the amount of and the content of those memories where so horrid that they were burning themselves into my mind. I looked at the girl, she appeared to be expecting something, so I shoved my hands into my pockets and took out a music player, and offered it to her. Despite her being locked away for hundreds of years, she knew exactly how to use, which I can give credit to the fact that the thousands of other "me"s have repeated this process in front of her many times.

However, this time, she listened to the song for only a moment before she raised a head and looked at me again, searching for the differences from what normally happened.

I caught her gaze once more, and, bracing myself for more terrible imagery, I was greeted with a warmth feeling as what looked to be an older Shuuya and Tsubomi smiling as "I"(really this girl) tripped or did something stupid that they perceived as cute. I saw a couple moments with an older "me" and then two siblings, along with a white haired tall man and a girl on a phone screen. As their faces flashed by me, I felt warmth and comfort combine to create a serene sensation that calmed me after that shock of terror.

But, this was not one I wanted to hold onto forever.

I blinked and let the images stop. Normally, I couldn't do that until the entire story was done unfolding, but this time, I held the pen. I wrapped the hoodie I typically wore around the girl and then hugged her and comforted her telling her everything would be okay.

"You're not alone anymore."

I had to find out who those other people were.

I had to, so this girl wouldn't be alone ever again.
