"Um… I really don't think we should be doing this, mates…" John murmured worriedly to his companions as all three of them peeked behind a dividing wall of a family restaurant a few blocks away from the SPR office.

Pushing up his glasses and tugging bits of his afro wig down, Yasuhara turned to his blonde companion with a sly grin. His partner, wearing fake glasses-nose-mustache disguise, did the same making John flinch back at the two pranksters. It was already common knowledge within the group that Yasuahara plus Eugene would always result to trouble.

"Oh come on, John." Eugene started as he crouched lower behind the wall, "Just go with it. It's not like we're doing something wrong."

Yasuhara nodded in agreement, his afro bobbing with his head.

"We're just watching them, John. Nothing more." Yasuhara followed up.

After a few more nods from the two pranksters, video cameras came flying out from Eugene's and Yasuhara's bags and were immediately set up and pointed at the couple they were currently watching.

John paled and sweat dropped in amazement and fear of the pranksters' skills when it comes to mischiefs. He quickly made the sign of the cross and made a mental note to go for confession after all of this was over.

"But seriously, a family restaurant?" Eugene said unamused as he sat on the floor turning away from the scene he was recording, "What is Noll thinking?"

Yasuhara blinked and joined him on the floor after checking his own camera. John followed suit, not wanting to confess more sins to his fellow churchmen.

"Aren't you the one who's supposed to know what the big boss is thinking?" Yasuhara mused looking at Eugene curiously as the latter just shrugged and slid lower behind the wall.

Ever since Eugene woke up, his telepathic connection with Oliver had been getting weaker by the day. At first, Eugene thought that it was his brother blocking him out as usual. Like he did when they were younger. But as the days went by, Eugene slowly began to notice that he couldn't hear any of his brother's thoughts no matter what he did.

The same went with his medium abilities. Eugene was finding it harder to see spirits and other entities as the days went by. Before, he could see things even if he just woke up from his nap. Nowadays, he had to go into a light trance to even see a glimpse of a spirit's shape or hear their voice. Of course, none of this was said to Oliver and their parents. For now, only Lin and Madoka knows about Eugene's dilemma.

"I might know what he's thinking." Eugene started, "But I don't know what he's planning with all those thoughts." He turned to Yasuhara with a bored look, "Noll's head is full of random trivia most of the time, you know."

Eugene laughed at the back of his mind. He didn't actually lie. Oliver's head is full of random trivia. He placed them there in the first place back when he still can.

"But seriously, why a family restaurant?" Eugene stirred away from the previous topic, "They could've gone to a fancy one. Noll has enough in his pockets for that."

"Hmm…I think the big boss did that last year…" Yasuhara looked up at the ceiling scratching his chin as he recalled last year's events….and videos. "I have that on tape."

Eugene hummed as he stared at the ceiling as he thought, "Last year's White's Day, huh?"

Eugene was still in a coma a year back until mid-July and thus missed most of events of the year. Not to mention that he has an eight year blank in his memories. Memories that, Mai claimed, should exist. Eugene sighed.

"8 years…" Eugene scratched his head, "Too long of a nap, Eugene. Way too long"

To break away from his thoughts, Eugene shook his head and shifted to turn to his camera. As he turned, his leg cramped up and Eugene tumbled down, pushing John who was behind him out of their hiding spot. The blonde landed on his back out on the corridor with a loud 'oof'. Eugene and Yasuhara paled as they harshly pulled John back behind the wall. They covered each other's mouths with their hands, eyes welling in fear that they have been noticed. All three strained their ears to hear any sign of being discovered.

"Naru?" Mai's voice, "What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Mai's inquiry, Eugene felt a shiver run down his spine. He turned to his companions and found them pale and sweating. Eugene gulped knowing that all of them could feel Oliver's glare even behind their protective wall.

"No…" Oliver's voice trailed and Eugene could hear the poison in them, "It's nothing."

After a few more seconds of holding their breath, the trio let out a silent sigh of relief and slumped down on the wall wiping cold sweat off their foreheads. Eugene stared at the ceiling grinning solemnly knowing that he was going to be in hell later tonight.

"That would've been bad." John stated in a low whisper

"ha,ha,ha…" Eugene laughed tentatively before turning to the blonde and dead panned, "Understatement of the century, John."

"Do you want a Shinto or Buddhist funeral? Because we certainly can't have a Catholic one seeing as John's going to die with you." Yasuhara asked with a grin, confident that he wasn't going to die yet.

Eugene turned to his fellow prankster and screamed in a whisper, "Don't jinx us! And you're dying too! I'll kill you myself if I have to!"

With a murmured laugh, the trio slumped back on the wall. Yasuhara let out another sigh and checked the couple through his camera. Eugene did the same and John just sat on the floor his head between his legs. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Are you sure I could get whatever I want?" Mai's said, slightly leaning forward towards her boyfriend who was currently holding his teacup.

Oliver gave her a glance, which Eugene noted gleamed in mischief, and took a sip of his tea.

"Yes, Mai, you could. You've been asking me that ever since we got here." Oliver placed his cup down and leaned forward towards Mai, meeting the brunette halfway their table. "Just ask for anything."

The brunette blushed at the proximity and hid her face behind the menu for a few minutes before calling for the waiter. Eugene frowned at the uneventful date his brother was having.

"I guess the boss wants things simple this year." Yasuhara snickered seeing Eugene's disappointed face. He took off his afro and fixed his hair knowing that he wouldn't need it anymore.

Eugene followed suit, taking off his ridiculous face mask, sighed, and slumped down on the floor.

"Yeah," Eugene started without thinking, "A few years back it was a van of flowers and a giant white teddy, Shiro was it?"

The words were out of his mouth before Eugene could comprehend what they were and his eyes went wide in confusion. He turned to Yasuhara who was staring at him in the same confused state as was John. All three were in shock.

"How did you know that?" Yasuhara started, "That was four years ago, Gene. You were still…."

The three came into a confused silence as Eugene racked his brain for an explanation in which he found none.

"How did I know that?" Eugene panicked in his head, "I was still in a coma back then so how…?"

Eugene kept thinking of possible explanations. Maybe someone told him. No, Oliver wouldn't tell him and Mai wouldn't either. Yasuhara's in shock so it wasn't him. John's not a tattletale. Takigawa? Matsuzaki? Lin? Madoka? No. No one was there when Oliver gave Mai that bear. Yasuhara only knew about it because he was staking out the office for his 'White's Day shot of Big Boss and Boss'.

"Wait! How did I even know that Yasu did a stake out?!"

Eugene was panicking and he could barely hear Yasuhara and John's voice calling out to him when a sharp pain went through his head. He held his head in his hands and slowly placed it between his legs.

"W-what?" Eugene asked as the pain grew

Throbbing, more painful like someone was drilling hole through his head. Then came the noise. A static, like a radio out of signal. It pierced his ears to the point that Eugene had them covered with his hands.

Eugene tried to pull his head up and saw Yasuhara's worried expression. John wore a similar expression only more panicked. Eugene saw the blonde's mouth open and close. Yasuhara's mouth did the same before the blonde took off running, most probably to get Oliver and a doctor.

Eugene blinked painfully and his vision went black.

When Eugene finally opened his eyes, he noticed that the scenery has changed. He saw Oliver, in his teens, sitting in the back of the SPR equipment van, checking the monitors with a young looking Mai standing outside the van.

Eugene blinked again and he now saw Matsuzaki and Takigawa join Mai by the van looking younger as well.

A sharp pain pierced through Eugene's skull and he closed his eyes once more. When all his vision had gone entirely black once again, he started hearing voices.

"Ne, Naru-chan, what should I do today?" a younger Mai's voice went through his head

"What did you say?" this time it was Oliver's. Or a young version of his twin perhaps, "Did you just call me 'Naru'?" there was an edge to the younger Oliver's voice, "Where did you hear that?"

Eugene slowly opened his eyes and found himself watching the scene unfold before him. The younger Mai had put a hand over her mouth in shock as she said.

"You mean other people call you that too?" she said then proceeded to pat the younger Oliver's shoulder, "Well sure they would! It would occur to anyone, Narcissistic (Narushishishitiku) Naru-chan!"

As the younger Mai laughed and continued patting the younger Oliver's shoulder repeatedly, Eugene swore he heard his twin's younger self sigh before the sharp pain returned to pierce Eugene's head.

Eugene held his head and closed his eyes hoping, trying, to dull away the pain. When it did, Eugene slowly opened his eyes and found himself staring at a younger Oliver. Although, the scene before him was somehow hazy.

"It's like I'm looking at water…" Eugene thought, "Is Noll in the water this time?"

As Eugene kept staring the twin's younger self, he saw the younger Oliver mouthing words. They were audible but muffled, somewhat as if they were piercing through water. Eugene's eyes went wide in realization and he started panicking.

"Noll's not in the water!" Eugene screamed in his head, "I am!"

Eugene started flailing almost immediately but found that he couldn't move his limbs. It was as if they were heavier than rocks. He lifted his hands to his eyes and gasped at what he saw. Eugene's hands were rotting and some parts of him were already just bones.

Eugene started hyperventilating when the pain pierced through his head again. He held his head, tears threatening his eyes. The static started almost immediately as the first teardrop fell from Eugene's eyes.

Eugene opened his eyes, attempting to reach out to anyone near him, and saw the scenery distorting around him. A blink and he was back in the restaurant with Oliver bending down at him forming words with his mouth. Eugene could only make out his own name from Oliver's lips before he blinked and he was back underwater staring at his twin's younger self.

The scenery flickered between the illusion and the present before everything stilled and Eugene was staring at Oliver's younger self from underwater. The pain and static noise returned in ten folds shocking Eugene enough to render him unconscious but not before he heard his twin's younger version's words beneath all the static.

"I finally found you."

Everything faded black and Eugene found himself wondering why he needed to know all this now.
