The muffled vitreous smash sound had rang violently between the Sakamaki manor's walls. Although what made the glassy voices violent was the voices of mannish and bestial growls that appeared just a few minutes after that. And they actually managed to reach into a certain unlit room. Into the room of Yui Komori, who's wrapped in the embrace of an intense slumber.

Those voices made Yui abruptly gasp awake. Blear-eyed yet triggered, she whipped her head around her room that's murky due to the lights being off.

"H-hey…what's going on?!" she timidly called out. Though no answer reached out to her. All she heard was the muffled voices… Wait, was this some kind of a fight?

She quickly hopped down from her cozy bed, unable to even notice the cold brushing over her unprotected flesh. Her bare feet banging on the ground, to her oblivion, she paced out of her room, slamming the door behind her back.

"Guys? What is going on?" she shouted out, dizziness and disarray in her tone, as she kept walking with staggering feet.

But the scene she saw when she arrived downstairs made her come to her senses.

The parlour was a huge mess. A slight brownout collapsing down, shards of glass and porcelain scattered everywhere on the floor. Then there's the tousled carpets, huge scrapes on untidily placed sofas and couches. What was even worse, was these six men wrestling with a herd of raptorial wolves that perhaps came out of nowhere. Bruises all over the men, blood trailing down their wounds, fresh clothes worn out so easily. Who knows, maybe they were losing strength towards those creatures, and might aswell easily surrender. She gasped where she stood frozen, hands covering mouth.

"Kch, from which hole have you come back from?!" a croaky voice, which belonged to Subaru, raised up as he tried to push a certain wolf with his feet.

"Yeah, we were so happy without you!" This whine belonged to Laito. He was too busy trying to dodge the wolves that tried to aim on him.

Ayato noticed the blonde standing on the staircase, watching them with face frozen with pure terror and body trembling. His eyes widened in shock.

"Chichinashi?! What do you think you're doing here?!" he lowly called out to her just when he tried to pry himself away from a certain wolf's clutch. He managed to push it away, still his eyes drawn onto her.

"Why is she just standing there?" Kanato appeared right next to Ayato as he backed away from another wolf's leap, also noticed the presence of Yui.

"Oh no, this isn't too good for her." Reiji ran next to them. The screen of his small glasses were cracked, and his shirt was half unbuttoned from the top. He turned to Ayato and Kanato, "One of you must take her away from here!"

"Guys!" Yui shrilled as she ran downstairs. Then Kanato, realizing that Teddy wasn't in his arms, ran off to find him.

"Chichinashi, can't you see this place isn't for you?" Ayato ranted at her. "What do you think you can do with that fragile body?"

"You're all injured!" Yui shrilled again, not noticing as if Ayato never said those words before. "I must take care of them!-"

"It's not your duty right now!" Reiji scolded her. "Ayato is right, you're not a potential to combat. You must stay in your room and don't move anywhere. Besides, they might aswell be after YOU!"

Yui got even shocked to hear Reiji. "B-but…can't I atleast…"

"Bitch-chan, you're not biting the dust." Laito appeared next to her suddenly, wrapping his arms around her in protection.

Yui slowly tried to wriggle away, quietly whimpering. "Please, just let me help you for something meaningful for once! I want to do something aswell, even if it's going to be a small thing."

Woeful and perplexed, Laito tried to drag her away from the battlefield, watching her as she struggles in his arms and cry out. He hasn't seen her this outbursted before, it felt so…strange to him. Especially his condition. Guess a war and destruction causes changes on everyone.

"HNNGH!" Shu struggled with two wolves as he held Teddy -which he found on the ground by coincidence- protectively in his one arm. Subaru noticed him as he finally got rid of the same wolf that messed with him from the beginning, and ran up to him. He jumped on one of the wolf's back, wrestling with him. While Subaru struggled with the other, Shu managed to doff one. Subaru finally stabbed the one he fought with in the end.

Subaru flinged out all the dust on himself, heavily coughing as he tried to draw up his back.

"Man…that was tough." Shu mumbled. Subaru looked up at him while scratching his nape, then noticed the Teddy in his arm.

"…Have you ever thought that you would do this?" Subaru muttered in a choked voice, arching his red eyes on Shu's firm face then rolling them down to the teddy bear.

"…No." Shu shook his head.

They steeped their eyes towards eachother for a moment. Then, Subaru raised up his hand with his index and middle finger adhered with eachother. His two fingers touched with his temple. Then they darted away from his temple in meaning of a gesture. Then he set off in order to fight more. Shu walked off aswell. He knew exactly what to do with Teddy.

Ayato ran up to him. "Hey, give that to me, I can give it to Kanato unharmed." He pried Teddy away from Shu and ran off to find Kanato, right in front of Shu's steady eyes. He shrugged, and set off.

Kanato was at a certain corner, at the brink of death by one of the wolves climbed on top of him. Ayato was still trying to find him. But it didn't last long for him to find Kanato…until a shadow dawned above his body.

Ayato fell to the ground with impact banging on his chest, a heavy creature loaded all its weigh on him. Ayato wriggled supine, and began to fight with the wolf. Teddy was left of the floor, lost in between this battlefield.

As Yui tried to escape Laito's grasp, they both paused to see Ayato…get eaten up.

"AYATO-KUN!"

Laito, with the shock that congealed him, forgot about Yui and let her flee away from his arms. He didn't even realize about her.

"Ayato-kun!" Yui ran with the speed she never ran with all her life before. Kanato, the wolf that fought with him suddenly left him alone to his doubt and wonder; noticed her as he slowly tried to collect himself from the ground. Reiji also saw her, along with Subaru and Shu.

"Yui-san!" Kanato gasped as he crawled up to his Teddy and embraced him tightly.

"Don't you do this!" Reiji called out to her. But she didn't hear him. She kept running to Ayato.

Laito finally came to his senses to see Yui in this worse occasion. He cried her actual name and ran up to her to try and catch her again.

Being deaf to everybody's warnings, on her way to save Ayato, Yui was also oblivious to a predacious animal's aiming on her. Until he roared and jumped up to the sky, towards her; Yui saw the danger coming. Paused and watching the wolf collapse down on her with mouth widely opened, long tonque twirling with appetite, saliva spilling from mouth; she came to a decision that this was her end.

Everything immediately blacked out. Voices faded away, and senses disappeared. Teddy was okay, but she wasn't.
