After Aru got home, he went to his (formerly Yuno's) room and, after Yuki was finished yelling at Minene for telling his mother about his and Yuno's sex life, fell asleep. He began to dream.

He found himself in a black void. An iron table and two obsidian chairs materialized, followed by an oak bookcase filled with novels by Mark Twain, HP Lovecraft, Stephen King, and novels that weren't in any known language. Aru thought these books were the strangest things he'd ever seen, until their owner appeared.

The entity was roughly seven feet tall. Its lower body was covered by the bottom of a gold-as in, the actual metal-and white ball gown. Its torso was covered in gold-again, literally-and black Roman-style armor. Its arms were long, pure white, and appeared to be made out of some kind of gelatinous substance. The fingers-also white and gelatinous, like the arms and hands-were slightly longer than average. The creature was completely headless. It was holding a golden-once again, literally-and light blue staff, with a white mask on the end. The left half resembled a comedy mask, while the right half resembled a tragedy mask.

"Hello, Observer," said the mask in a calm, androgynous voice.

Aru was too shocked to respond.

"I said, 'hello'. Please, sit down."

Aru sat down. The creature sat in the other chair.

"H-hi, I..." Aru stared at the monster in front of him. "...I know you. I-I KNOW you. You're in my first memory. After Deus and Murmur told me of my purpose, I heard your voice...whispering in my ear. In my head. You told me that I could choose my own destiny, th-that I could do great things, that I could be a God, that I could...that I could build a new Eden."

"A shame that you never built your Eden, Observer."

"My name is Aru Akise. The Observer...he was a mistake. I thought he was an accident, a flaw in my creation, but...but you created him on purpose. Why? How would that benefit you?"

"It would give us a servant on this universe. We could easily rule it."

"You're not from this universe?"

"We are not from this multiverse."

"There are more of you?"

"Yes, Aru. Many more. We're not so different, Aru."

"How the fuck are we alike?!"

"We were both artificially created. And we are both very young."

"How old are you?"

"I am two years old."

"What...what ARE you?"

The mask completed its half-smile, in a way that made it look organic. Aru felt like he was going to be sick.

"I am Traum, Lord Of Dreams, King Of The Mind, Ruler Of The Soul, add one of the Councillors of the Death Fibers. Our leader and creator, the Master Of Puppets, wished to use my superior and his second-in-command, the Song And Dance Man, to recruit you. However, as that idiot was on Earth-KLK-1, dicking around with inferior beings, I was sent instead. I implanted a Death Fiber in your brain and watched as it drove you to insanity."

"Earth-KLK-1? What's my Earth called?"

"Earth-MN-2."

"Where are you from?"

"A pocket dimension outside the KLK multiverse. It is where all Death Fibers originate. Well, except for the Song And Dance Man. He is inferior, despite what he prefers to believe."

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"I simply have nothing better to do. And when you awake, you will remember none of this. You will forget I ever existed. Goodbye, pseudohuman."

Aru woke up. He remembered nothing.

Author's Note: If you're wondering what the fuck just happened, read my Kill La Kill fic (it explains Death Fibers better, though Traum only briefly appears in chapter 20 and chapter 30)~ Also, Takao's parents both had some British ancestry~

Name: Reisuke Houjou/Rei/The Fifth

Age: 4 (now 5)

Species: Human

Ethnicity: Japanese (some Scottish ancestry on both parents' side)

Sexuality: Hetero

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Born on November 10, 2011, Rei was born to neglectful parents, who were members of Tsubaki's cult. His father was a gambling addict, and his mother spent whatever he won on useless crap. They were mutually abusive to each other, although they did love Rei enough to buy him his puppets. They burned to death when Tsubaki got her revenge on her cult. Rei had no friends before he met the Diary Holders, and wasn't even in school. Rei has an IQ of 145, making him the smartest Diary Holder despite his young age. He is very knowledgeable about chemistry, to the point where the other Diary Holders suspect he might be a high-functioning autistic. He learned about chemistry from books his parents bought for him, the one thing they both agreed was worth spending money on. Rei, defying all logic and sanity, sees Yuki as a surrogate father figure. He sees Yuno as a surrogate mother figure. He has an odd friendship with Takao, relating to him through their shared friendless background. He likes Keigo, and sees him as another surrogate father figure. He hates Tsubaki for killing his parents, although he's started to warm up to her. He sees Marco and Ai's relationship as what his parents' could've been like. He partially blames himself for his parents' fighting and financial problems, even though it was the cult that caused the most stress in their relationship. He sees Kamado as a surrogate mother figure. He considers Minene to be a friend. He hates Karyuudo for his failed relationship with his daughter, like most of the other Diary Holders do. He has an odd friendship with John. He considers Yomotsu to be a friend. Aru is his closest friend. He considers the family members and orphans to be friends. He is grateful that Deus gave him the opportunity to make friends. He is interested in Murmur, and believes he's not really as evil as he claims to be.
