Chapter 13: Mark of Paradise
"You were very lucky," Commander Beef said as the paramedics properly bandaged Netto's wound.
"It wasn't luck," Netto stated in monotone, turning his head to watch the other paramedics as they examined the cut on Tohru's back.
"He'll make a full recovery," one of the medics told Beef, turning to leave.
"Let go of me!" Regal's annoyed voice prompted everyone to look up.
"Get moving!" Black Rose Mask pushed him into the back of an armoured truck.
"So it's finally over?"
"That was some fine work you did catching Yuriko!" she complimented her partner.
"Yes, but I don't think my crystal ball will ever be the same." Miyumiyu pointed to a crack in the glass sphere.
"We'll escort the kids home," Commander Beef announced.
…
Tohru threw his shirt into the laundry basket, looking in the mirror. He turned around, letting the reflection of the bandages glimmer in the moonlight.
Kill… Tohru heard a voice in his head.
"Hello?"
KILL… it became louder.
The room lit up with a hellish red glow, the walls seeming to peel at the presence of the second entity. Tohru remained perfectly still as the bandages fell to the ground, melting from the intense heat. His back burned with pain, yet he did nothing.
KILL! he heard it again.
Tohru observed extra lines appearing on his back, overlapping the scar that was left from Shademan's attack.
"Paradise. The Mark of Paradise," Tohru's voice had two pitches, the other presence speaking through him.
New lines stopped appearing, a triangle and a ring in the middle of Tohru's back.
"Wake up. Destroy."
