"My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say, 'I'm gonna be like you, dad
You know I'm gonna be like you.'"
Rei was in the Dark Room. Ganger was standing in front of him.
"Hey there, you little retard. Do you know who I am?"
"Not Big Brother, that's for sure."
Ganger laughed. "No, I'm better than him in every way. 'Big Brother', though, let's talk about that. You miss your parents, despite them being awful people- and trust me, I know awful people -so you got attached to the others, but especially my counterpart, but you can't replace them, obviously, and that's where the whole sibling terminology comes in. Anyway, I'm Ganger. I'm the one that's been scaring your Big Sister."
"You leave her alone!"
"I will never leave her. You wanna know something, Rei? Something that is just fucking hilarious?"
He leaned in towards Rei. He grinned. "My Yuno killed you. Twice. Shoved a knife right through your fucking heart. The first time, she cried. The second time? Nothing. Just a dull, blank expression as she watched you bleed out. Nobody cared about you on that world. Not your parents, not Yuno, no one. You're all alone, you poor autistic bastard."
He vanished, leaving Rei in stunned, depressed silence.
"And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you coming home, dad?
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then."
"Well, a man come on the six o'clock news
Said, 'Somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused
Somebody blew up a building, somebody stole a car
Somebody got away, somebody didn't get too far, yeah
They didn't get too far.'"
Keigo was in the Dark Room. Ganger appeared in front of him. Keigo immediately pulled his gun on him.
"Don't you move, you sick son of a bitch."
Ganger laughed silently. "Keigo, you idiot. I'm in a spiritual form. I can't be harmed in a physical way. Now put that down, it won't do you any good-"
Keigo pulled the trigger. The bullet passed through Ganger, leaving him unharmed. "See? I told you so. Always so angry, aren't you, Keigo?"
"Maybe. What's it to you?"
"You present yourself as a good cop, but in reality...well, I'm just gonna ask you a question. How many suspects have you beat up?
"Well..."
"How many?"
"...I lost count."
"There we go. You're just a pent-up ball of rage." He smiled. "Of course, angry guys are a bit of a turn-on for me~ But little boys are also fun." Ganger's grin grew larger than it had any right to be. "Little brown-haired boys especially. LITTLE SHAMELESS BIT-"
Keigo unloaded his gun into Ganger. The bullets passed straight through him, as if he wasn't even there. "See what I mean? Anger overrules your judgement. You're not a good guy. You're not perfect."
Ganger's unnatural smile grew wider. "How ever are you going to explain that to little brown-haired Yoi?"
He disappeared.
"You know, justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing,
'Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.'"
"Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been."
Takao found himself in the Dark Room. Ganger was in front of him.
"Hey there, loser. I'm Ganger."
"Loser?! I'll have you know I'm the Sakurami Ripper!"
"Oh, the guy who killed five people, tripped on a beer bottle, and is now under house arrest for the rest of his life? Look at me, I'm shaking with fear. You know what I think?"
"What?"
"You killed those women so people would be scared of you. Or rather, the image you built up as a monster stalking the nights. You even sent letters to the cops, just like Jack The Ripper. You wanted attention. You wanna know what you'll get, Takeo?"
"Fame is what I'll get."
Ganger laughed. "Well, if you can consider a few episodes of some true crime shows as 'fame'...well, whatever make you feel better."
"How dare you! I'll kill you!"
"You can't kill me. And I'm only telling you what you already know."
He disappeared, leaving Takeo with the music.
"Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you."
