A mentally broken down Morishige wandered the dead halls of what he could only describe as a very convincing horror movie set, or perhaps...hell. His mind was basically gone by now. All that remained was a shadow of his former self. It would appear that he'd gone insane. In the eerie silence, only his maniacal laughter could be heard echoing through the building. And it was heard...by none other than Yuuya Kizami.

By the time the older boy had found the source of the creepy laughing, as well as an odd banging sound, he saw the boy with glasses slamming his own head against a glass window. The glass must have been rather thick, because it wasn't budging. In fact, Morishige's head was taking an even worse beating than the window. Blood was trickling down his forehead when Kizami grabbed him, wrapping his arms securely around the other male and taking him away from the window so he would stop hurting himself. Morishige thrashed around in Kizami's grasp, unable to escape. He screamed and laughed at the top of his lungs. Until, eventually, he just collapsed in exhaustion.

When the blue haired boy came back into consciousness, he slowly took in the world around him. Damn it. It hadn't been a dream. He really was trapped in this haunted school. While he wasn't acting as insane as before, make no mistake, he definitely was still not in his right mind. Now that he'd had time to rest, he was able to appear normal on the outside, while keeping the darkness locked inside for now. He noticed that he was not alone when he heard a faint breathing noise beside him. Sitting up and resting his back against the wall, he looked over to see Kizami while adjusting his glasses. Ah yes. This boy had saved him earlier. But was it really worth it? He was going to die in here regardless. He might as well introduce himself though.

"...Hello. My name is Sakurato Morishige. I'm a student at Kisaragi Academy. I don't recognize your uniform...so you must be from another school." He spoke in a quiet voice, making eye contact with the boy who saved his life. Maybe he'd thank him for it later...If they both made it out of the school alive, that is.

The ever so slightly older boy had a look on his flawless face that clearly depicted a complex mixture of emotions that included surprise and showed that he was obviously pleased to have run into another human being in those horror filled corridors. He arched a brow as the corners of his lips curved into a smirk and he folded his arms across his chest.

"Hello, there. You're absolutely correct about that. I'm not from this so-called "Kisaragi Academy". I actually go to Byakudan Senior High School. However, that doesn't seem to matter at the moment, seeing as the two of us are currently trapped in a death cage. I'm sure you must have figured out by now exactly how much danger we are in. There can be no escape. We will surely meet out inevitable demise within these decrepit walls..."

Kizami's grayish-blue hues, that almost seamlessly matched the color of his hair, looked over his new companion. He extended a hand to shake the other male's, his exterior changing from dark to friendly in an instant, although the hint of darkness was still present in his voice.

"I'm Yuuya Kizami. It's nice to meet you. I mean...It would have been nicer to meet under different circumstances, of course. But I'm glad we at least ran into each other here."

"Heh...Yeah. It's nice to meet you too, Kizami. So...What are we supposed to do now? There's no way out. None that I know of, at least. Why even try to go on living, if we're destined to meet our untimely demise within this school?"

"Now, we search for other survivors. The more the merrier, right?" A light chuckle passed the older boy's lips as he stood to his feet and reached a hand down to help Morishige up as well. He seemed like such a friendly guy. But the spectacled boy couldn't shake the feeling that there was something off about him. Then again, who was he to judge others sanity when he himself had gone over the edge? With a soft sigh, he took his newfound companion's hand and got up, deciding that he might as well stick with him for a while. Maybe Kizami could even help him find Mayu. Oh his sweet Mayu. If there was ever a time when he needed her, it was now.

How long had it been now since Kizami and Morishige had begun their journey together in search of other living beings? Hours? Time meant nothing here. But it couldn't have been entirely too long now since neither of them had eaten anything since arriving, and they were still able bodied. They had passed the time in silence for a while, until Kizami decided to break the awkwardness and start up a conversation. Why not, right? At least it could possibly be entertaining. They spoke of various things ranging from the theater to shiny objects. And, eventually, their conversation took a darker turn. They questioned life and death. Kizami even so far as to confide in Morishige about his childhood fascination with taking the life of small, innocent animals. To his surprise, this only made the other boy laugh. He had a look on his face that said he was interested in what Kizami was saying. Were they actually bonding over their mutual love of death? Heh. He was actually starting to grow fond of this boy. Pleased that he had decided to save his life.

Suddenly, both boy's heard the cries of a young girl. Yuka Mochida came around the corner. The female was the little sister of one of Morishige's classmates, Satoshi Mochida. Despite the fact that she was 14, only a few years younger than her brother and his classmates, she looked and acted much younger than her actual age. Both Mochida children had been transferred to this school along with him. Apparently, he had managed to find a means of passing through to another closed space. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to see her now. Yuka ran up to the boy with glasses when she noticed his familiar face. She was crying and saying that she had been separated from her big brother recently, and had been all alone ever since.

Kizami stood in silence for a moment, simply staring at the newly arrived girl who was now clinging to his claimed companion for dear life. Then a smile broke out across his face, and both boy's shared a look of mutual understanding. Something about this caused Yuka to become frightened, backing away from the others and looking at them cautiously.

"I have always wanted a little sister..."
