Chapter III: Somewhere in Limbo
Aya's POV
I am cold…
Where the hell am I?
I looked around for something…ANYTHING…that could bring me memories. But I could see nothing! Everything was dark…
And yet, I heard the sounds of rushing vehicles, boisterous talking and laughing, an accordion playing "The Moonlight Sonata"…
People living their lives in the outside World…
And just like that, every detail came rushing back to me, advancing at me in such a speed that it was too much for me to take…

I am dead… I choked at the mention of those words.
NO!
I couldn't die! I couldn't let Schwarz and Schreient get away, running amuck with their evil plots…couldn't leave Aya in that hospital, in that world alone! She'll have to stand up for herself alone, defend herself against perpetrators, battle Life…without me.
I couldn't abandon Ken…
He needs me… No, I need him!
I held back tears as I ran about; screaming my head off, searching for an escape, back to my world, back to my happiness…
Morose.
Empty.
Lonely.
Morbid.
Sad.
This place is pure evil, pure despair clustered, crowded together…for the sole purpose of choking one another to death…
No other way… so much for heaven and hell, huh?
I slid down to the floor of black, pounding my fists on NOTHINGNESS. How could this happen to me?
Then, I realized I couldn't do anything at all. I am no longer living…a lifeless light whose spark has died, no longer capable of Will. At that point, all my defenses crumbled and I finally gave in to tears, surrendering to my tragic and unexpected fate…
