Aichi's armor and spear was taken, replaced by raggedy brown clothes, and was pushed into the dark dungeon. He fell on his face as the guards closed the heavy door, making the room dark except for a single torch lighting the place. Aichi rushed to the light and hugged his shivering body for warmth.
He looked around the dark dungeon. There wasn't much, some rats were scuttling on the hard stone floor, the single torch lighting the place, the metal door, and a window with thick bars. Aichi sighed, overwhelming feelings driving him insane.
He was reversed.
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred was the unit of his soul, and had reverse marks, meaning he was reversed as well.
But most of all, he failed Kai.
He failed Kai.
He failed to rescue Kai, and because of that Kai would be killed.
And because of that, he felt miserable.
Aichi dug his face in his knees, sobbing, tears wetting his filthy clothes.
"Aichi?" A very hoarse voice called out, and Aichi perked up, looking out the window, hardly breathing.
It was Kai.
His arms and legs were chained to the walls, his clothes in even worse condition than Aichi's and his bones showing through his skin, but his eyes lit with happiness.
"Kai-kun!" Aichi smiled happily. Kai gave Aichi a weak grin back.
"What are you doing here?" Kai rasped, cocking his head curiously.
Aichi sighed, feeling as guilty as hell. "I tried to rescue you, but I failed and got caught." Kai frowned.
"Aichi, you didnt have to. My only hope was that you move on without me and live a happy life." Kai croaked. Aichi felt his face ache from frowning so hard.
"I'm sorry..." Aichi sobbed silently, grabbing the thick bars.
"It's ok. At least I know that I'll die knowing that I was with you." Kai smiled faintly.
"No! Kai, none of us are going to die!" Aichi shouted.
"Hey, be quiet!" They heard a guard shout from far away and became silent.
"I'll find us a way." Aichi whispered. Kai nodded slightly, the chains jangling.
They heard guards coming, and Aichi quickly retreated back into his cell. A small hole in the door opened and a pile of mush plopped in. Aichi frowned in disgust, and looked through the window. The guards gave nothing to Kai, and continued on.
When Aichi made sure the guards were gone, he went back to the window.
Suddenly, a question popped in his head.
"Kai kun, why haven't you been executed yet?"
At that moment, they heard a loud bell gong. Kai smiled sorrowfully.
"Because I am to be executed right now."
