Pain.

Pain.

Nothing made sense anymore...

Pain.

Why was I here?

Pain.

A voice. It cut through both my head and the pain.

"There is no value in killing the likes of you… My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life. And then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me."

Now I remember. I must become strong... Strong enough to defeat Oni- That Man.

...Pain.

Nikume!: Hate me!
