A/N: This is pretty short. I don't really want to lengthen it, though... it was the spur-of-the-moment type of story you write once in the dead of the night and don't go back to fix, not the planned out type. So I'm not gonna touch it, and just leave it be. I'm planning out another, longer one at the moment though, and trying to work on the 100 themes challenge~.

Oh, also, by the way. I've only finished what's published of the Mirai Nikki anime so far, I haven't read the manga. So this is the first world's Tsubaki.

So, here it goes! My first actual fic since August... OTL

They say they know what pain is.

But how could they? Their time in this invisible world had been peaceful.

Well, maybe not Second's.

Yes, Tsubaki knew. The other girl had murdered her own parents in cold blood, trapping them in a cage beforehand and mangling their bodies afterwards. However, this grief had been brought upon herself- not forced upon her by the dirty hands of violate men.

First, on the other hand, was a miracle that Tsubaki still didn't understand. How was that foolish, naive boy still standing, very much alive, as she faded away with a missing arm and broken eyes stained with tears?

And yet, even as she wondered, the answer was clear. The yandere girl by his side, who disguised herself with a sickly sweet voice and utterly repulsive bubblegum hair.

Gasai Yuno.

The Future Diary holder, Second.

The reason that she was dying.

Even worse than the pain, though, was her bittersweet ending. Her death had been brought on by the same handball her mother had given her- the only thing that had kept her sane in her prison of corruption until it had rolled away once more. It had abandoned her, just as everything in else in her life had. She had been left at the hands of greedy men, to be violated over and over again without a single thread of comfort for her to cling to.

While Yukiteru didn't know it, he had brought on the utmost hurt and betrayal that wrenched her shriveled heart.

"It's too late now..."

And another lost soul faded into the arms of the Reaper.
