…

Naota was running down the sidewalk, tears falling beneath him like rain. Oh my fucking god, I shot her! Now what will they do to me? What will happen? What about Haruko…?

He'd planned this for a long time. He'd said to himself every day, "If she comes back I'll kill her." But now that he's done it it felt to him like he'd more of killed himself.

"I loved her…" He looked up to find that his feet had carried him home.

He looked down at his hand to find that the gun was gone. "What the…?"

"Stay away from me." He reached into his back pocket, revealing a gun. He outstretched his hand, putting the shiny metal gun a few inches away from the frightened woman's face.

"Naota, wait…!"

"No, you wait!" He screamed. "You have the nerve come back after leave me alone after I gave up literally everything for you?! I don't think so! Now I can finally get even with you!"

'Okay, I shot her,' he thought. 'Then what?'

'Oh my god!' he screamed. He killed the girl, and dropped the gun right next to the body. The cops would be after him with the fingerprints.

He ran up to the door and jolted the door. Locked. He hadn't brought a spare with him and his dad was probably out with grandpa. That lasted hours.

He ran in the backyard and tried the backdoor. No luck.

"Yes, Naota, he lives right there. I saw him, he must've not been thinking. He shot her in front of everybody."

"This house?"

"Yes."

Naota froze. He was so pumped on adrenaline that he'd not even stopped to think about witnesses. 'WHAT THE HELL?! HOW CAN I BE THAT STUPID?!" He pulled on his hair.

He quietly hid behind the trash can in the corner of the yard. He could hear the cops jolting the door and screaming to open.

'It's okay, nothing's going to happen to me… this is all a dream…" He nodded his head, and before he knew it, he fell into his sudden exhaustion.

…

"Wha… where am I?"

Naota was surrounded by pure white. He turned around.

"Is this my dream?"

Suddenly the white began to change. It was like white wallpaper peeling off the walls, like someone ripping the sheets off a firm matress. The whole town of Mabase unravelled before him.

"Wait, something isn't right…" he turned in a circle.

'This is the old Mabase!' he looked around. He was under the bridge he spent so much time under, and Mamimi was at his feet playing her little fire game, Fire Starter or whatever it was called. He looked up and saw the giant Iron with smoke billowing out.

"Isn't this game fun Takkun?"

"What?" he felt like he'd just woken up. "Hey, Mamimi, I have to go home now."

"Why, Takkun?"

"Just, because. I'll see you later."

"Okay…"

Naota dashed off, leaving a confused Mamimi staring off after him before retuning to her game.

Naota's feet stomped against the pavement, running as fast torwards his house as possible. His ragged breathing and quick jolts caused all his neighbors and schoolmates to stare after him, calling "Hey Nao, what's the rush?"

He just kept on running until he reached his house, and even then didn't stop. He jolted straight into the door, not stopping to turn the doorknob. He stopped for a breath to think.

Okay, what's going on here? I'm back in Mabase, about the time all the fires started. Hauko must be inside…

He slowly turned the doorknob and walked inside. His father and grandpa were eating on the couch in the other room.

"What are you doing home, Naota?" His father slurped his ramen.

He didn't answer, only slowly walked to his door. He hesitated outside, then slowly walked in.

He looked around his room. No bass guitar sitting in the corner. Everything looked exactly how it did when Haruko was here.

…and Haruko didn't appear to be in here. He looked around more.

"So, why did you kill me, Naota?"

Naota jumped. Haruko sat up on the top bunk, appearing to have been hiding, laying down behind the junk occupying this space.

"Haruko…"

"So…" She jumped over, and sat back down on Naota's bottom bunk. "Why did you kill me?"

Naota was speecless.

Haruko reached behind her, and grabbed a shiny silver gun.

She held it up to Naota's face.

"Hurry! Get the fuck out of my way, dammit!"

They hooked the older teen up to a monitor, and his heartbeat appeared on the monitor screen. "Beep, beep, beep…" The machine displayed his heartbeat.

"This boy is in a coma."

"Naota…" his father looked down.

"He appears to just be asleep, so he's in no life-threatening danger. He's in a coma like condition, so we'll be monitoring him."

All looked down at Naota.

"Nah, I wouldn't shoot you, Takkun." She threw the handgun at Naota, who, still shocked, caught it after it jammed him in the chest. "Not that you don't deserve it."

Naota looked away. "What's going on here?"

"What this, dream thing?"

"Yeah…"

"Won't you know by now weird things happen, Naota?" She stood up and paced. "Maybe it has to do with missing me but then killing me. You're basically dreaming, Takkun." She stared at his eyes. "You killed me Takkun, but I'm not gone. I exist. Remember when you asked me who I am? I'm an alien." She paced again. "I'm here as long as you are, this dream.You'll eventually leave, but you'll leave me behind." She sat down.

"So Takkun?" She smiled. What are you going to do?"
