Ginga's pov:
I was sitting on the couch, Madoka curled up next to me, fast asleep.
The phone rang. I grabbed it.
"Hello?"
"Down to two. One of blue. The other the color of snow. It's to Ailuastra you go." came a familiar sadist's voice.
"Aleksei, what the heck does that mean?! Tell me!" But the line went dead.
"Ginga, what is it?" asked Madoka.
"Nothing. Just go back to sleep."
I could tell that she didn't want to, but I could also tell that she was too tired to stay awake. Soon she was fast asleep. And I was left to think over the riddle Aleksei left.
But not long after, I felt myself start to yawn. Soon I was asleep, too.
When I woke up, it was morning. Madoka was still asleep. I got up and made breakfast. Bacon for me, and sausage for Madoka.
I thought over the message again. Down to two. One of blue. The other the color of snow. It's to Ailuastra you go, he had said.
I knew that it was an anagram. Aleksei loved writing them. I saw them a lot on his wall whenever I visited him at the asylum.
I grabbed a pen and piece of paper, and wrote, AILUASTRA.
Straliua. Nope.
So I wrote again, STRALIUA.
Aularist. No.
Again, AULARIST.
Austarli. No.
AUSTARLI.
Then suddenly, I saw the correct word. AUSTRALIA.
"Madoka," I shook her awake. "Hey, we need to go to Australia. Aleksei has someone of our's hidden there."
She smiled. "I've always wanted to go to the land down under."
Diary entry March 27th:
I have decided to make Ginga go around the world as I watch as he runs frantically to save his friends. Then while he saves them all, he'll be forgetting about Madoka. Then she'll die. And he'll be so heartbroken that he didn't notice. Then when he's still not fully healed from Madoka's death, I'll have my assassins kill all his friends and family off. And then vengeance will truly be mine.
