Chapter 11: Helpless
(Mitzu's POV)
I wake up feeling cold. My backs in a lot of pain, as if I slept wrong or something. I open my eyes only to see more darkness. I lay quiet for a couple of moments as my eyes adjust. While I still can't see all too much, I can make out… Desks?! I see multiple desks, all in a pile in one corner. The walls of the room I'm in look old. The paint's peeling and I can make out black mold spots here and there.
The wooden floor looks rotten in some areas and just overall filthy. I turn my head to see what looks like a wall where windows would be. Although… Every individual window is covered in wooden boards. Where the hell am I?!
[Mitzu] "Hello… Is anyone there? Sayori?"
Wait! I remembered that when I fell asleep, Sayori was on top of me. And we sure as hell weren't in this creepy looking place. I sit up, to stretch, which causes pain to shoot through my body, making me wince. How long was I out?!
[Mitzu] "Fucking… Hell."
As I go to stand up, I notice I'm in my uniform. What's going on? I do another scan of the room, now that I'm getting more used to the dark. Well, I'm obviously in some sort of classroom. From the look of it, it has a similar design to my school's classrooms… I cupped my hand and raised it to mouth before calling out once again.
[Mitzu] "Hello! Is anyone there?!"
. . .
. . .
Nothing but silence. This better not be some fucking prank. All of sudden, I could hear what sounded like the patter of footsteps outside the classroom. I quickly sprang towards the door. But… They say curiosity killed the cat. I stopped a mere millisecond before opening the door. It would probably be a dumb idea to just barge out into the unknown.
I went towards the corner and grabbed a desk and carried Over to the wall next to the door. Once in place, I climbed on top and peered out. Through the darkness, I could see a hallway. It looks just as deteriorated as the classroom. Boards also cover every window out there as well.
After getting a good look at the hallway, I got off the desk and walked towards the door. I hesitated for a moment, since waking through a dark, abandoned place is a nightmare for me. And I heard footsteps! This place just screams hell nah! But, with nowhere else to go, I turn the handle and walk into the hallway.
. . .
I stand still for a while. The darkness and eerie vibe paralyzing my entire body. My mind even starts to fuck with me. What if this place is really haunted?! What if someone's watching me?! What if I'm stuck in here?! What if- No… Mind, it'd be better if. You. Could. NOT!
Out of nowhere, I hear what sounds like a young girl giggling. I turn towards the direction I heard the sound but don't see anything. WHAT THE HELL?! My heart feels like it's gonna explode with how fast it's beating. I'm breathing heavily and my legs feel like they're gonna give out. I stumble backwards and lean against the wall so I can try and compose myself.
. . .
After some more time, I stand up straight again and take one long sigh before picking a direction to walk in. Annnnnd! I will not be going towards that sound. No way in helllllll.
And with that, I walk the opposite way of the giggling. The hallway reeks of black mold and the water damage is very visible. As I walk, the floor feels like they could give out at any moment. Some classroom doors are open and I peak in only to see the same sight of desks scattered or piled on each other. At one point, I get to an area full of lockers. That looks exactly like the one from my school… Am I…?
Most of the lockers are rusted and/or tipped over. The only contents that I can see are dirty papers and ripped up books. I pick one of the books up that's laying on the floor…
[Mitzu] "Biology one textbook… Huh?!"
I drop the book and quickly turn around after I hear footsteps once again. Only this time, they sounded like they were right behind me. I run back out into the middle of the hallway and look both ways multiple times. Nothing… And I have concluded that this place is indeed FUCKING HAUNTED!
I stood still for a while, trying to listen and see if I could hear anything. I was only met with silence. And the eerie silence mixed with the anticipation of hearing anything caused my heartbeats to sky rocket. I once again started to walk, since standing still won't get me anywhere.
As I walked through the hallway, the structural damage seemed to get worse and worse. The black mold was now spread on the majority of every wall. The floor felt more unstable and holes were common. Droplets of water were also common, falling down from broken, rusted up pipes. And finally, Most doors were missing the handles for some reason.
. . .
I continued to walk through halls for a while. Checking every door, even ones without door handles. I've Found nothing. It's almost as if the hallway goes on forever. Only… the farther I go, the more deteriorated it gets. I mean, I'm at a point where I'm having to cover up my nose because the mold is so bad! My legs are getting tired and I'm in constant fear of either falling through the floor since it's so weak or a ghost sneaking up on me.
. . .
. . .
[Mitzu] "C'mon already! Just fucking end!"
By this point, I've been walking for what feels like hours. My legs are throbbing and I'm becoming increasingly hopeless… Why won't this end…? Why won't this end…? Why won't this end…?
[Mitzu] "Why won't this end…? Why…?"
I slowly come to a stop. My mind and body have both come to terms that this is all hopeless. I could probably walk forever and never find a way out. With the floor and walls now a sickly green color with black mold almost everywhere, I looked up to the ceiling. While the ceiling isn't too much better of a sight, it would do. And with that, I collapsed onto my back. I almost hoped the floor would give out but, It didn't.
[Mitzu] "Why won't this end…?"
As I stared at the ceiling, I felt like my body was entering a sleep stage. While I am tired, it almost feels like I'm paralyzed. I tried to move my legs and arms but they didn't even move an inch. The only things movable were my eyes. But my view is basically limited to the ceiling.
[Girl] "Heeheehee!"
What the hell?! All of a sudden, I could hear the sound of a girl giggling. The same giggling that I heard earlier… I began to panic, now sweating profusely. I'm breathing fast, almost hyperventilating and it doesn't help that I can't move.
Creak
While I can't see, I can hear the wood creaking behind me.
[Mitzu] "Who's there?!"
Creak
Another footstep. It's getting closer!
[Mitzu] "Say something!"
Creak
My mind was beginning to be clouded in fear. The uncertainty of the situation I'm in causes me to close my eyes and wait and see what happens. Am I gonna die?!
Creak
. . .
Creak
. . .
[Mitzu] "FUCKING SAY SOMETHING!"
My eyes jerk open and I try with all my strength to move at least a centimeter. I try and resist this paralysis with everything I've got. I growl and begin to yell, sounding like an anime character charging in for an attack.
Creak
. . .
Creak
I give up struggling, my body now feeling more exhausted than I've ever felt. My mind, now completely clouded with fear, and exhaustion isn't working so well. So when a young looking girl stands over me, it takes me a moment to comprehend it.
. . .
I stare up into the face of this unknown girl for a while before speaking up.
[Mitzu] "Who… Who are you?"
The girl, who looks to be a bit shorter than Natsuki, with short gray hair and red eyes only smiles. I can also see she's wearing the school uniform. Who is she?! The smile that was on her face slowly formed into more of a sinister looking one. Then, out of nowhere, she began to laugh.
[Girl] "hahaha… hahaha… HAHAHA… HAHAHA…"
[Mitzu] "WHO ARE YOU-"
I cut myself off when she halted her laughing and glared down at me with her blood red eyes piercing me like a knife. Those eyes… I stayed silent as she began to walk around me. Once standing next to my arm, she kneeled down and moved her leg over my hips. She was now straddling me, making me even more uncomfortable.
[Mitzu] "W-What are doing-"
[Girl] "Shhhhh…"
She shushed me by placing her index finger on my lips. She once again smiled while hovering her head above mine. She leaned in closer, causing me to feel even more uncomfortable and to try and recoil my head, forgetting I can't move at all. God, I feel so helpless. She could do anything to me and I wouldn't be able to stop it… Her face got closer and closer until it was only a few inches away. I stayed silent, expecting the worst.
. . .
After a few seconds, she moved her head to the right a little and leaned down before whispering into my ear with a more mature sounding voice than I expected…
[Girl] "You're about to see some nice things…"
What's that supposed to mean?!
All of a sudden, the girl began to melt into some kind of black liquid. She kept a sinister looking smile on her face as her body completely melted away. I could only watch in horror, as the liquid trickled onto me and started to cover me from head to toe. How badly I wanted to move around and resist… But, I know that it's no use. So, I closed my eyes just as the liquid finished covering up my face. I kept my eyes closed, internally praying. Fortunately, I think, theliquid didn't feel like anything. If I hadn't seen it beforehand, I wouldn't think I was in some sorta pitch black cocoon. And what's more is that I can still breathe just fine.
. . .
I could feel myself dozing off. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I ultimately gave in and let sleep overtake me…
. . .
. . .
. . .
At least, I thought it was sleep… Just as I began to let my mind rest, I felt like I was standing. I opened my eyes and… I'm in the club room?
I now stood by the doorway of the club room. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I'm not hallucinating. All the girls were here. Monika was sitting at the front desk doing some paperwork or something. Sayori was doodling in a notebook. Natsuki was sitting in her usual spot under the window, reading manga. And Yuri… Yuri was reading a book with… A boy. This boy had black hair, just like mine and seemed to have heterochromia. One eye is a dark shade of blue and the other, a crimson color.
Have I seen him before?
As I looked around, I noticed Zero wasn't here. I stood for a moment, wondering where he could be. And have I been asleep standing up somehow?! If so, why didn't anyone wake me up. And who's the new guy?!
I walked over to Monika, since if anyone, I'd assume she'd be the one to know where Zero is. Two of them were practically inside each other on the bench yesterday. Eugh…
[Mitzu] "Hey Monika, you seen Zero?"
. . .
. . .
I waited a few seconds. I didn't even get a look in my direction. She just kept working on whatever she was working on. I know she's not ignoring me…
[Mitzu] "Yo. Monika… Earth to Monika… Hello?"
I waved my hand in front of her face and snapped my fingers. She didn't even acknowledge it. She… She just kept writing as if I'm not here.
[Mitzu] "Monika, this isn't funny!"
I moved my hand and went to place it on her shoulder. Only… When I did, a weird red light emitted about an inch away from her and seemed to stop my hand from getting any closer. What the fuck?! What's going on?! First, some weird nightmare, now this?!
I tried pressing down harder, only for more red light to emit. I then used my other hand as well. That too didn't work.
[Mitzu] "Monika! What the fuck is going on!"
I yelled, as my heartbeat started to increase. Monika didn't budge. My final resort was something I didn't want to do, but my mind at the moment isn't thinking rationally. I drew back my fist and took a deep breath. And then as hard as I could, I brought my fist down. My fist made contact with the red light but almost immediately, my fist was bounced back, causing me to lose balance and fall on my butt.
[Mitzu] "OW! Shit!"
Just as I fell, the door to the club room opened and the gray haired girl walked in. The same smile was plastered on her face as she walked, with her hands behind her back, towards me. I quickly stood up and balled my fist but kept them at my side. I gritted my teeth as she got closer until she stopped about a foot away. Wait… it wasn't a nightmare I was having?!
[Mitzu] "Who are you?! What's going on?!"
She brought her right hand around to her face and stifled a giggle. The hell is she laughing about?!
[Mitzu] "What so funny?! Tell me god dammit!"
[Girl] "You are quite amusing, I must say. And telling you what's going on would only ruin the fun."
[Mitzu] "Fun?! How the hell is this fun?!"
The only thing stopping me from knocking the lights out of her is the fact that she's a girl. Anger began to overtake my fear. Both of my hands were balled into fists and it felt like my nails were digging into my skin. The girl snickered before speaking again.
[Girl] "Watching your emotions like fear and anger is the greatest pleasure."
Watching my emotions?! What's wrong with this girl?! I quickly shoved by the girl and ran over to Sayori.
[Mitzu] "Sayori! Sayori! Please! Answer me!"
No reply. I then ran over to Natsuki, who was concentrating on her manga.
[Mitzu] "Natsuki!"
I tried shaking her shoulders, only for the same red light to stop me. I recoiled back, with fear starting to take over again. I felt light headed, as I stumbled over to Yuri and the boy.
[Mitzu] "Yuri! Please say something! New guy, please!"
I'm panicking super bad at this point. I tried forcing my hands through the red light, hitting the desk and countless other things to gain their attention. Nothing worked. Please… Please tell me this is some kinda nightmare…
I'm stuck in my thoughts for a few moments, trying to make myself believe that this is all just a really bad nightmare. But it feels too real to be one. And it doesn't help that the girl walked over to me and started giggling before she spoke.
[Girl] "Try all you want. Nothing you do will let them be able to see you. Or keep trying. Seeing you struggle pleasures me immensely."
I could only stare at the girl in disbelief.
[Mitzu] "What the hell is wrong with you?! Tell me what's going on, NOW!"
The girl replied by putting her hands behind her back once again and smiling.
[Girl] "I've told you already, it would ruin the fun if you knew."
I know what I said about hitting girls, but this bitch is really asking for it. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath hoping not to lose control and deck the girl.
[Girl] "Now. Since you understand that they can't see, hear or feel you, we can start."
[Mitzu] "Start what-"
The girl walked up to me and poked me on the forehead. As I was about to shove her away, I started to feel light headed and the classroom turned to darkness. In a split second, I was back. Only, the room felt off. I looked around and only saw the boy and Natsuki. They were talking in the middle of the room. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but Natsuki had an almost sad look on her face. I began to brainstorm about what's going on for a few seconds only to get cut off by a sudden headache.
What the hell, a headache now of all times?! The headache got increasingly worse in a short amount of time. I clutched my head and gritted my teeth. My eyes also began to throb. I closed them for a moment and when I reopened them, the whole room had shade of red to it. My ears were filled with the sound of static. ITS HURTS SO MUCH! I stumbled back onto the wall to lean on. The pain is overwhelming. I almost resorted to smashing my head on something hard to knock me out. That was until I finally calmed down a bit. The throbbing was still there, just a lot less painful.
I rubbed my eyes, hoping that the red haze would also go away. To my surprise, It didn't. I glanced around the room and froze once my eyes had landed on Natsuki. Any facial feature she had was gone and her eyes were black, glitchy… Things. She Has a terrifying smile, which sends chills down my spine. The boy also looks like he's about to shit himself. His eyes are wide and he's shaking violently. Wait! This looks just like the Natsuki jump scare! And if it is…
That means…
My eyes widen once I realize what's about to happen. My mind wants to move and try and stop it, but my body doesn't move an inch. Because of this, I'm helpless as Natsuki's neck goes with a disgusting crunch. I instantly feel nauseous. Before I can do anything however, Natsuki flings herself at an almost supernatural speed towards the boy. What follows is a blinding explosion of glitches and pixels.
I groan in agony as my eyes are blinded. I drop to my knees, holding my hands over my eyes. I tumble over onto my side while clutching my face and squirming, hoping anything will stop the throbbing pain.
I lay for a while, breathing heavily and groaning as the pain slowly fades away. I feel like I'm covered in sweat, but I try and focus on getting my breathing in order. Once at a better pace, I cautiously open my eyes. I get a stinging pain as I open them, but nothing like the excruciating pain I just experienced. Once my eyes are open, I look around and notice something different. Thankfully, the red haze is gone. But… standing in the middle of the room, is Yuri and… ZERO?!
I quickly jump to my feet, which turns out to be a bad decision. I instantly feel nauseous once again and my legs give out. I fall face first onto the floor. Fortunately, I blocked most of my face from smashing into the hardwood floor. I attempted to lift myself up, but my body just wouldn't allow it. Why does this keep happening…?
I yet again feel helpless. I try to call out for Zero, only… When I try to speak, no sound comes out. What?! Why can't I talk?!
My attention is then diverted back to Zero and Yuri. Unlike before, I'm able to hear them. And Yuri has a look on her face that can only mean one thing…
[Yuri] "I don't care anymore Zero! I have to tell you! I'm… I'm madly in love with you!"
I tried my hardest to fight it. I wanted to get up so badly and stop what I'm pretty sure is about to happen. I tried to scream, bang on the floor, everything. But nothing worked.
[Yuri] "It feels like every inch of my body… Every drop of blood in me… Is screaming your name."
Zero looked more uncomfortable as the seconds passed by. Please Zero! You need to stop here!
[Yuri] "I don't care what the consequences are anymore! I don't care if Monika is listening! Please Zero, just know how much I love you."
Zero clenched his fists while looking to the right, down at the floor. He almost looked guilty. Damnit Zero, say something!
[Yuri] "I love you so much that I even touch myself with the pen I stole from you. I just want to pull your skin open and crawl inside of you."
Still looking at the floor, Zero's eyes opened. He looked terrified as he slowly looked back up at Yuri. He finally spoke in a low voice.
[Zero] "Yuri, you're not yourself. Please, calm down."
[Yuri] "Calm down… I'm perfectly calm my beloved. It's just… I want you all to myself. And I would be only yours. Doesn't that sound perfect my beloved?"
This is only getting worse. His words aren't doing anything. I can't say how badly I want to get up. Nothing at all is working. Why is that girl doing all of this?! Because she feels some sadistic pleasure from this?! Why…?
[Yuri] "Tell me, Zero. Tell me you want to be my lover. Do you accept my confession?"
Zero's slightly shaking while Yuri has an innocent look on her face. Although, I know on the inside, it's something entirely different. I held my breath as this is the question that decides on what happens. Even though saying yes or no will most likely end up in the same way, I know Zero. He would figure something out.
Zero took a deep breath before replying…
[Zero] "Yuri… I… I-I… You're really not yourself right now. Please, calm down."
. . .
. . .
I continued to hold my breath. Did… Was that the right answer? Is she safe-
[Yuri] "Ahahaha."
No…
[Yuri] "Ahahahahahaha!"
I tried to scream. I tried to move with every ounce of strength I could muster. Nothing.
[Yuri] "Ahahahahahahahaha!"
Zero started shaking once again as Yuri's face began to take on an insane look.
[Yuri] "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
In an instant, Yuri pulled out a kitchen knife from her blazer and aimed it at her chest. I stared in shock at what was unfolding. I tried everything to move or make a sound once again, putting even more strength into it. My eyes watered as I was about to sit by while this happened.
However, before Yuri could stab herself, Zero lunged at her, tackling her into a desk. Zero grabbed the knife before Yuri could plunge it into her stomach. He pulled back, grunting as he also lifted Yuri up off the desk. She seemed to have an iron grip on it since she was still holding on.
My eyes went wide as Zero slipped and fell backwards. Still holding onto the knife, he brought Yuri down with him. She landed on top of him. And before I could even comprehend it, she dove the knife down into Zero's chest.
ZERO! I internally screamed and tears began falling as Zero looked up at Yuri with a shocked look. Her face was all twisted and she had an evil looking smile. She pulled the knife out and once again dove it down into his chest. I closed my eyes while silently sobbing and trying my best to move. While I couldn't see, I could hear the sound of the knife being pulled out and stabbing him again, over and over.
After a while, I heard the sound of Yuri panting. Then followed by a small chuckle. I once again heard the sound of the knife breaching flesh. Then again… Then again… I heard the knife clang and then a thud. As I heard the thud, I felt like I could move again. I quickly opened my eyes and sprang up.
[Mitzu] "ZERO!"
I stood frozen in horror. Before me lay Zero and Yuri, both covered in blood and stab marks. Their faces flushed of any color and no signs of breathing. Tears flooded out of my eyes as I had the urge to vomit. Yet, I couldn't take my eyes off of them. As I stared, I failed to notice the gray haired girl appear next to me out of nowhere. She giggled before speaking.
[Girl] "I can't tell you how happy I am right now. Your pain and struggling was truly more satisfying than I ever could've imagined."
Anger started to boil within me as I jerked my body around to face her. I began to raise my fist until the girl raised her hand. Upon Doing so, I felt frozen in place once again.
[Girl] "Huhuhuhu… You are an entertaining one Mitzu. But don't let your emotions get the best of you yet. We're still not finished."
[Mitzu] "FUCK YOU!"
I gritted my teeth while glaring intently at the girl. Thoughts of getting revenge for all of this became the main topic of my mind. While in my thoughts, the room faded away into darkness. As quickly as it disappeared, a bedroom faded in. Sayori's bedroom…
Wait… Please don't be what I think it is…
The gray haired girl, who was still here must've read my mind, as she began to giggle while smiling knowingly. With a snap of her fingers, I was out of my frozen state and fell to the floor. At the same time, Sayori appeared, sitting on her bed. She had a sad look while her legs were tucked in. Beside her on the bed was… No…
My eyes widened as she picked up the noose and seemed to examine it. The gray haired girl giggled once more before snapping her fingers again. In the blink of an eye, Sayori had the noose hanging from her ceiling fan and was currently in the process of wrapping it around her neck while standing in a chair.
I was on my feet in a flash and leaped forward trying to stop Sayori. Upon almost making contact, the red force field stopped from in my tracks. I fell back onto my butt with a thud. No, this bitch is gonna make me watch this! No!
Just like the past 2 times, I could only watch as Sayori tightened the rope around her neck. I began to violently shake and cry as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. No. I have to try. She can't die!
I jumped back up and started by trying to kick the chair. It too has a red force field on it. Next, I tested the rope. It also has a red force field. And just like that, I was left hopeless. Yet, I still tried. I rammed my shoulder into the force field. Kicked it, punched it. I even tried throwing objects at it. As nothing worked, my crying turned into sobbing. I fell to my knees and stared down as the girl started speaking.
[Girl] "Annnnddd… 3… 2… 1."
As she reached 1, the chair tumbled over… I looked down at the floor while sobbing, trying not to watch. I could hear Sayori grunting and groaning. I wanted to cover my ears, but my arms felt too weak to even move. In my peripheral, I could see her feet moving around, as she struggled to breath. Behind me, the gray haired girl only giggled.
Please… Stop this… Please-
[Sayori] "Mitzu…"
I jerked my head back up to see Sayori looking down at me. Her fingernails were bloody and her body was barely moving. Seeing this only made me sob harder.
[Sayori] "M-Mitzu…"
The gray haired girl continued to laugh behind me. However, I couldn't get two shits at this point.
[Sayori] "Mitzu… Wake up…"
What…? What does she mean-
[Sayori] Mitzu! Wake up!
[Mitzu] "AHH!"
. . .
My eyes shot open. I'm breathing heavily and I'm covered in sweat. And while I didn't notice, I'm also crying as well. Sayori sat on my lap with a terrified look on her face. Her eyes looked ready to bust open with tears.
[Sayori] "Mitzu! Y-You were crying and… And shaking a-and talking in your sleep, I… I-I couldn't get you to w-wake up!"
I quickly pulled Sayori into a hug. She buried her face into my shoulder and cried. I rubbed her back and while whispering "It's okay", into her ear. After a while, she looked back up, now finished crying,
[Sayori] "Y-You were having a really bad nightmare, huh?"
I… I was…? It felt so real, although it feels like a distant memory, I remember feeling helpless and intense pain. But, I guess it wasn't real…
[Mitzu] "Yeah… But, I-I'm fine now. Could go for shower though. I'm sure you want nothing more than to get away from my stinky self, hehe."
Sayori glared at me for my attempt at trying to lighten the mood.
[Sayori] "Mitzu, are you sure you're fine?"
[Mitzu] "Yes Sayori… Just a mean ol dream is all. I promise you, I'm fine… Now, I'm not fine in the clean department, and I'm sure you could agree with me."
Sayori sighed while shaking her head. She smiled at me, which is what I hoped for. I smiled back as Sayori got off my lap and helped me up. Once standing, I instinctively braced myself, thinking at any moment I was gonna collapse to the floor again. But that was the nightmare dumbass…
Sayori looked at me confused before I explained that falling down was something that happened to me too many times to count in my dream.
As we exited the patio, I looked outside. It was dark out now, but I could've sworn I made out a strange figure moving in the darkness. I narrowed my eyes for a moment before shrugging it off. Although, I couldn't help but wonder if what I saw was real, as I could also make out the sound of static.
Turning back around, I entered the house, and went up to Sayori's room. I made the wise choice to bring a bag over with some clothes in it after Friday's incident…
And with that, I got a fresh outfit and made my way to the bathroom. Ahhh, long awaited shower, here I come.
(Unknown's POV)
I glared at the keeper of this world. Even though I knew it's face always stays emotionless, I was almost insulted by it. I tried spawning in a weapon. However, it seems that my automatic commands are being blocked here. I tried the old fashioned method of pulling up a command prompt. That too was blocked.
[Unknown] "I don't know what the hell you're trying to accomplish by having me here, but I can tell you that it won't work."
[?] "My old friend… I can't say for certain I know the entirety of this… But you aren't trying all of this for no reason at all."
[Unknown] "Stop calling me that! We have never been acquainted and I don't wish to, ever! And you're right… I have a reason. That's all your gonna get."
While I'd rather not admit it, he struck a nerve by calling me "old friend". He's the reason I am like I am. I will never forgive him for what he's done.
[?] "I am sorry…"
[Unknown] "Don't even start with that shit. Wait… is that why you brought me here? Were you hoping I'd accept your apology? Well guess what?! The only way I'll accept it is when this wretched world is gone!"
[?] "I see… It seems we have quite the talk ahead of us then…"
A/N
Aaaaaaannnddd… This chapter is a bit fucked up. Guess if I had a third genre, it'd be horror. Also, first chapter without Zero's POV. Things like this will only happen occasionally, so fellow Monikan's, don't worry.
And with that, have a good day/night and stay safe!
