A world of pure whiteness. Wherever she looked, all Shiena could see was white. The walls, ceiling and floor were all of an immaculate white, and even the corridor she could see through the bars was totally white as snow. Seeing so much white could drive anyone crazy.

Fitting when you were stuck in an asylum.

Shiena looked down. Even her clothes were white. She glanced at her hands, more precisely the handcuffs around her wrists, and sighed. Here she was, in solitary confinement in a hospital for the criminally insane, because of how "dangerous" she was to the other inmates. The court ruled her as an unstable psychotic killer, far more at risk than the usual people here.

Shiena didn't know which was worse. Being accused of murders she hadn't done? Having now two murders on her back? Being stuck in an asylum? Being now viewed as insane? Having been betrayed by someone she loved? Probably all of those, while fully knowing she was innocent. It was even worse since she knew who the real culprit was but was powerless to do anything about it.

She eventually laid back on the bed, which was, of course, all white too. Shiena gave up. There was nothing she could do, and frankly, her situation could have been far worse. She could have ended up in jail, with actual criminals, and eventually executed. Here at least she had the chance of maybe leaving, even if she knew her life would never be the same. It would be pretty hard to find a job after "killing" two people.

Shiena heard footsteps coming closer. She raised her head and saw a nurse standing in front of her cell.

"It's time for your medication, Kenmochi," the nurse said stoically.

Shiena remained confused as she slowly walked towards the bars.

"My… medication?"

"Yes. Antipsychotics. Because you're crazy, remember?"

Those words made Shiena wince. She hated hearing those words. She wasn't crazy.

"I'm not psychotic," Shiena said between her teeth.

"Of course honey," the nurse said as she rolled her eyes. "Now take your meds."

The nurse opened a small trap and slipped a plate with a glass of water and two pills. Shiena looked at them with hesitation.

"But… what if I'm not psychotic? I don't want to fuck up my brain," Shiena argued.

"If you're not psychotic, they won't have any effect on your brain. So take them."

Shiena continued to have doubts, but she knew she would probably get into trouble if she didn't take them. So she grabbed the pills and put them in her mouth, then drank some water before swallowing it all.

"Good. I'll be back later for your appointment with your psychiatrist. You should get some rest."

And thus, the nurse left. A psychiatrist she said? Maybe they would notice that she wasn't crazy. Then would she be sent to jail? Shiena decided to not overthink it and simply went back to bed, slipping under the blanket, closing her eyes and eventually falling asleep.


Dragged by two guards, Shiena was led through a corridor. She offered no resistance, and yet they were still unnecessarily rough with her. They stopped when they reached a door and came inside, still pulling Shiena with them. The room only had a metallic table with two chairs, one at each edge. The guards made her sit on one of them and fixed her handcuffs to the table. They then stood there for a moment, until someone else stepped inside the room.

"You may leave, I would like to talk alone with my patient."

Shiena raised her head. The person who walked in was a young woman with golden eyes, wearing a lab coat. The guards simply left the room as she went to sit in front of Shiena, dropping a file on the table. She was smiling, but it didn't seem out of kindness or friendliness. She looked strictly professional but there was some curiosity in her gaze.

"So you must be Kenmochi Shiena," the woman said as she opened the file and looked through the papers.

"Y-Yeah... and… who are you?"

"I'm Shutou Suzu, and I'll be your psychiatrist."

Shiena remained silent for a moment. Suzu looked like she had finished reading something and raised her head, still smiling.

"I want you to trust me and feel at ease with me, Kenmochi-san. I'm here to help you. I need to get to know you better if I want to be able to offer you my best support."

Shiena let out a bitter giggle. Was she part of this conspiracy against her? Was she too, paid by that woman who deceived her? Not that she really cared. It wasn't like it would change anything.

"Get to know me huh? Well, what can I say… oh, I know. I didn't kill those two women and I'm not insane. It's all part of this big conspiracy to silence me because I discovered the truth."

"And what is the truth?"

Shiena was surprised. She was expecting Suzu to shut her down and call her crazy, yet she seemed interested in what she had to say.

"Jackie is part of some evil organization, a guild of assassins, and they hired this shady lawyer to make it look like I'm crazy."

"Jackie? You mean Jack the Ripper of the 21st century?"

"Yeah."

Suzu seemed surprised for a moment before she let out a soft amused chuckle.

"What's funny?" Shiena asked.

"Oh, nothing. I just thought… it was kind of cute. You are nicknaming a serial killer. It kind of looks like you have a crush on them."

Shiena blushed at that comment and was overwhelmed by shame, remembering her crush on this very serial killer.

"It's… nothing like that. I'm fascinated by her, but that's all. And after she framed me for her murders, I can't… love her."

"Hm, I see."

Suzu was taking notes in her notebook.

"Talk to me about this 'evil organization'."

Shiena hesitated to answer. What if she was really part of this organization? Would she warn them that she knew too much and get her killed? Maybe it was safer to not say too much.

"It's… a guild of assassins. I don't know all the details, but I know Jackie is working with them."

"Anything else?"

"No…"

Suzu continued to take notes while Shiena decided to dare ask her a question.

"Are you… part of this organization?"

Suzu remained silent for a moment before she smirked.

"Who knows?"

Shiena felt her heart skip a beat. She didn't like that. She didn't have the feeling Suzu wanted to harm her, but she definitely couldn't trust her.

"I would like you to talk to me about your childhood. I read in your report that your parents are divorced."

"Y-Yeah… I was still really young when that happened."

"Do you know why they got divorced?"

"Uh… They never loved each other. They were both career people, and I was just the product of a one stand night. My mom got pregnant with me and… she initially wanted to abort me. But under their families' pressure, she kept the baby and married my father. I never saw them being happy together. I even felt like… they resented me for being born. I was nothing more than a burden for them, keeping them from their jobs and sucking up their money. A broken condom…"

As she said that Shiena felt a lump in her throat. She had to stop talking for a moment.

"I don't recall any of them ever reading me bed time stories, hugging me, coming to my plays at school, or even just… telling me they loved me. They were barely there at home, and I was always all alone… So I made up friends."

"You made up friends?"

"... Yeah… I had a hard time socializing with others at school, and being alone at home was just so… depressing. So I played with my plushies and other toys, gave them names, personalities, backstories… and they became my friends. I spent my days roleplaying with my plushies, creating scenarios with them, stories, and… I guess I took a liking for theatre in general."

"Mhm."

Suzu took a few more notes.

"It must have been hard for you. Your parents are the first people who should teach you love- it's essential for a healthy emotional development. You need that in order to grow your self-esteem. How can you learn to love yourself if your own parents didn't love you?"

Shiena didn't know what to add. What Suzu said seemed spot on. Her psychiatrist then looked at her watch and rose up.

"That will be all for today. With what you told me, I think I'll be able to help you. It was nice meeting you, Kenmochi-san."

"Yeah… same."

Suzu smiled and grabbed her stuff before leaving the room. The guards came back and took Shiena, bringing her back to her cell. She wasn't sure how to feel about this session, but she was at least certain of one thing.

It did make her feel better to talk about this to someone.


A world of pure blackness. Shiena was walking through a dark corridor, so gloomy that she could barely see anything. Whatever she looked at, all she could see was the colour black. It didn't stop her from continuing onward, even if she didn't even know where she was going. Hell, she didn't even know how she got there in the first place.

But then, she saw her. Despite the darkness, she could clearly see her. Jack was standing there, a couple of meters away. Shiena stopped walking for a moment, staring at her.

"Jackie…"

Jack turned back and started to walk away.

"No, wait!" Shiena exclaimed.

And she went after Jack, who was walking faster, almost running. Shiena started to run too until she managed to catch up to her. She grabbed her shoulder, forcing her to stop. Jack remained motionless for a moment before she turned back. She was still wearing her mask.

"Jackie…"

Jack remained silent. Now that her eyes got used to the darkness, Shiena could see that she had dressed in all black. Shiena felt anger rise up in her, remembering what Jack did to her.

"You… lied to me. You deceived me! You manipulated me! You toyed with me and then betrayed me! Why did you do that!? Answer me, you bitch!"

Jack remained silent. Furious, Shiena grabbed her mask and ripped it off, revealing her face.

Shiena remained shocked. The person that was now facing her was not who she was expecting at all.

It was like she was looking into a mirror.

At first she thought it was Yamada Yuu, but she realized with horror the truth.

She was Jack.

"No… it can't be…" Shiena mumbled.

A truly sinister grin appeared on Jack's lips. Shiena remained frozen as her doppelganger jumped on her and grabbed her neck, starting to strangle her. Shiena tried to struggle but she was losing her strength. And then everything became black.

Shiena woke up in a jolt. She was immediately blinded by the overall whiteness of the room and let out a grunt as she covered her eyes. She was left panting and all sweaty. Her eyes eventually got used to the light and she looked around. She let out a sigh when she saw that she was alone.

Alone in this asylum cell.

Shiena sat back in her bed. What was the meaning of this dream? Why did she dream of her as Jack? Was it because she had been accused of her murders? No, it seemed to be more than just that.

She ran a hand through her messy hair. She then closed her eyes, trying to understand the meaning of that nightmare.

"..."

Shiena opened her eyes and looked around. Strange. She had the feeling she heard something. It must have been her imagination. She closed her eyes, thinking again.

"... You killed those people, didn't you?"

Shiena immediately jolted as she opened her eyes. She rose up and frantically looked everywhere.

"Who's there!?"

But she could see nothing. She was alone in the cell. Shiena's heart was racing like crazy and she was breathing heavily as she continued to look around, worried and on her guard.

Knock, Knock, Knock

Shiena jolted again. She could hear someone knocking… on the wall? The knocking continued, but now on all the walls. Like someone was hitting on them- no, it felt like the sound was coming from the inside.

Shiena started to shiver. What the fuck was happening!? Panicked, she rushed towards the bars and started to shake them.

"Please, somebody help me! There's something in the cell!" Shiena shouted.

But no one was responding. More and more terrorized, Shiena started to kick the bars.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Shiena yelled desperately.

Finally, she heard footsteps approaching. After a couple of seconds, the usual nurse was facing her, looking kind of annoyed.

"What do you want, Kenmochi?"

"There's… there's someone- something, in my cell. I heard a voice… and knocking."

The nurse remained silent for a moment, looking unimpressed.

"'I'm not psychotic' she said… please don't make me lose my time like that."

The nurse turned back, ready to leave. Shiena was still hearing the knocking and, overtaken by fright, she grabbed the nurse's sleeve through the bars.

"Please, don't leave me with this thing!"

"L-Let me go, you nutcase!"

She was struggling, but Shiena refused to let her go.

"Don't you fucking dare abandon me here with that thing!" Shiena shouted.

She then pulled on the nurse shirt and drew her closer, pinning her against the bars.

"Open the door! Let me out of here, now!" Shiena screamed.

The nurse managed to grab her walkie-talkie.

"P-Please… send help… the patient lost her mind!" the nurse called.

Shiena tightened her grip around the nurse, determined to not let her go until she freed her. She didn't see the two guards coming. She didn't have the time to see their taser that electrocuted her arm, forcing her to release the nurse. Shiena let out a grunt of pain as she recoiled. The guards then got inside the cell and immediately pinned Shiena to the group, immobilizing her.

"Let me go! Don't touch me! You don't understand, there's something in here, something invisible- not human…!"

But before she could say more, she received another electric shock, sending her back in a world of pure blackness.


It wasn't the same. Even if she found a girl just like her, it wasn't comparable. Lying in this foreign bed, she was contemplating the ceiling, lost in her thoughts. A soft snore brought her back to reality. She turned her head and saw the young woman sleeping by her side. Her skin was so flawless, it looked so soft, just like her curly brown hair. She stretched a hand to gently pet her head, but she was met with disappointment.

It wasn't as soft and fluffy as Shiena.

Otoya let out a sigh. She didn't know what she was doing here. When she spotted that girl for a moment she thought it was Shiena, until she realized her mistake. She did look similar, especially the hair, but she wasn't Shiena. She wasn't special as her- no, she was just a nobody. She wasn't particularly pretty nor was her personality as interesting. Although, she was kind of cute. Just not Otoya's type.

Just like Shiena.

Yet she had nothing of Shiena's value.

Then why did they fuck? What did Otoya think she would accomplish? Not that it wasn't fun, but it wasn't like she could come. She needed to kill, and unfortunately, she couldn't without Nio's permission. That was the sad life of a hunting dog. Not that she wanted to kill that woman anyway, she had no beauty worth preserving.

This had been a waste of time. Otoya got up off the bed, fully naked. She rummaged through the clothing on the ground, managing to find her clothes and get dressed. Otoya didn't even deign looking at the girl she just had a one-stand night with and left the bedroom. She put on her boots and coat and without a second thought, she left the house.

It was pretty cold outside. But Otoya wasn't the chilly type, she could bear with it. She took a deep breath of the fresh air, enjoying the the cold air in her mouth, before she sighed. Due to the cold, her breath looked like steam. The sun wasn't up yet, but the moon was fully visible in the sky, weakly lighting the night.

She didn't want to admit it, but she did miss Shiena. What was so special about her anyway? She wasn't pretty, she wasn't wealthy, there was really no benefit in being with her… and yet she wanted to be with her so badly. She wanted to touch her smooth skin, run a hand in her soft and fluffy hair, kiss her sweet lips, cup her cute breasts, going lower, tease her special spot, taste her, go inside her…

Otoya sighed again. She was getting too excited. But at least it warmed her up on this cold night. She remembered the other day when she attended Shiena's trial. She didn't expect that the brunette would spot her in the crowd. But she had to admit, her reaction had been quite funny to see. So Shiena found out the truth huh…

Otoya really had hoped that the situation wouldn't go that way. But she knew it was probably for the best. After all, Shiena was a threat to her. It was a shame that she got arrested, but hey, better Shiena than her. She had been a fun toy to play with, but the world was full of playthings, so why did this one matter that much?

She could have any more fancier toys to play with, yet she missed the cheap one. What was so unique about it? Maybe Shiena was like one of those antiquities- obsolete, dusty, useless, yet worth a shit ton of money.

Otoya felt like there was a better comparison, but she couldn't find it.

She decided to stop overthinking it. It didn't matter anymore. Shiena was locked up and wouldn't get freed anytime soon. It was time to forget about this cheap toy.

Otoya finally arrived home and for once, didn't bother to put her coat where it belonged. She just dropped it on the floor and headed for her room, exhausted. It was even messier than usual. To avoid stumbling on something, she turned on the light and started undressing, only remaining in her black underwear. As she headed for her bed, something caught her attention. On the ground, there was a picture.

A picture of Shiena.

It was the first picture she ever got of her, the one Nio took. Honestly, this picture didn't do Shiena justice. She was way cuter in real life.

Otoya grabbed it, softly brushing Shiena's face, before she laid down in bed. She was still quite aroused by her previous thoughts and she could feel her center being wet. Otoya didn't find a reason to resist her urges and succumbed to her desire, as her hand found its way into her panties.


Well, things are really not looking good for Shiena. And neither they do for Otoya.

Chapter a little bit shorter than usual, I'll try to get back to the usual lenght next time!
