(A/N: Before you start reading this chapter, let me warn you that this chapter may have contents that you might be uncomfortable with. After I finished my first draft, I felt very dissatisfied as there is too little of Tairitsu's POV in this chapter. After doing edits, I realized that I may have gone too overboard but without that content, this chapter is poorly written. I will warn you again when 'that' part comes.)
A-3:
Prerequisite: Unlock A-2
Requirements: Play Antagonism (with EX score and at least Full Recall but NOT PST difficulty) with Grievous Lady Tairitsu (Level 20).
Clashing shards from broken trust
Born from doubt and suspicion
Then resonated into a fight
Tairitsu never thought about anything. But seeing from Hikari's response, it was even more clear to her what she must do:
End her, do not underestimate her
With that goal, she prepares a shard and charges at Hikari. There is no way she can avoid this attack.
Or she thought
As the very shard instantly shatters before it touches her
How? How? How?
This girl... she can't possibly control her Arcaea! Impossible!
She endured hell. She endured the very thing that caused her pain.
Memories of pain, betrayal, envy.
Death, Suffering and decay.
Dark. They are only Dark!
That was what drove her to destroy this world
Then this girl, embraced this very hell.
Is this how she can easily control this Arcaea?
Could it be… She is the cause of her suffering?
Then a shard flashed at her
Blinding her of all sight
There she saw it from a girl's perspective
(A/N: The following may be too graphic, read at your discretion. If you feel uncomfortable reading this, scroll down until you see the next A/N. To summarize, what Tairitsu saw in the shard was herself? being abused as a child, being guilt tripped by someone over murder and Hikari apparently killing Tairitsu.)
A young girl, being an outcast among everyone.
What she wanted was taken away from her
She wants to be free from the pain
How delusional of her, a kick to the stomach taught her that.
"You are such a burden"
This was her last day of being with her 'family'.
Next thing she knew, she was taken away.
Ever since the day she was born
Everyone and everything hated her for no reason
What has ever she have done?
Her mind then shifts to the moment where she felt being prejudiced against.
A girl has just died in her bed
It wasn't her but someone that was apparently important to her
A man was crying. He has just lost his younger sister. Why did fate decide to take away her life at such a young age? Instead of blaming at heaven or hell, he turned to the girl.
"It's all your fault, you killed her!" The man roared
"No, I did not kill he-" Tairitsu? tried to defend herself
The man slapped her. "Get out, I do not want to see you, EVER AGAIN!"
The last thing she saw in the shard drove her mad.
It was the same image that she saw before
Tairitsu, being paralyzed and bleeding all over
The girl in white walked to her and explained something fatal
"Did you know why you were hated?"
"You were prophesied to be the one that will become a demon."
"This moment has been long overdue. But at least its better late than never."
Laughter came from the girl in white.
"I have killed the demon"
Those were the last words that Tairitsu heard as the bright girl did the final move on her.
(A/N: Alright, it's over, you can continue reading from here if you have skipped the above)
So… she was right. This girl caused everything to her.
Every single pain was from her...
But it's not just her…
but the entire world as well.
All because of some stupid excuse of being a demon
This world and everyone can burn in hell
She then mumbled to herself
"I'm a good person"
"I am not these dark clothes I was born with. I am not these dark memories I am tormented by."
"I am not a person who is 'evil', I am an ordinary person tortured by an evil world."
"Without reason, without sense."
"A completely, horribly, cruel and merciless world."
"A nightmare one can't wake from."
"And the ending, for me, is a pathetic death."
A voice then responded to her
"Laugh, girl. Call forth a Tempest"
She laughed, crows that was swarming her last time now charged at Hikari
And then Tairitsu disappeared.
Hikari then has to fight through all these creatures who obeyed the dark girl.
