"Kitagawa-senpai that's awful," Sumire was holding back tears from Yusuke's story. How could someone be so cruel to others. Her death wasn't nearly as bad.

"What about you Sumire, how did you… you know?" Haru asked gently. She wasn't quite emotionally ready for hers. It was just so painful…

"Oh, um… the thing is all I know is that I was stretching for practice in my room, when there was a knock at the door. It was my dad, he telling me Dr. Maruki was there. Of course I let him in I didn't have any ill will towards him" Sumire paused as she tried to remember the specifics.

"He looked terrible, looked like he hasn't slept in days… he told me… that Ann-senpai, Ryuji-senpai, and Akira-senpai were dead. That it was a matter of time before they came for us. I couldn't believe it… I just texted Ann-senpai a day ago. He was trembling, all of a sudden he started spasming."

"No… NO!" Maruki screamed as he felt a presence inside of him. It wasn't his persona, this was something stronger… darker… it was so overwhelming. He fought it with all his might black blood oozed out his mouth… seeping out slowly from his eyes

"Doctor what's wrong with you?" asked Shinichi Yoshizawa, he listened into the whole thing. Forehead beading with sweat, he didn't know who was after his daughter but he also had to try to help Maruki. He was a valued friend of the family.

"Sumire… run" he tried to croak out. He managed just that and nothing more as his body betrayed him, the thoughts in his head twisting slowly to what his god desired.

"Maruki what the hell's happening! Explain yourself!" Shinichi begged, trying to stop the doctor's spasming. Sumire was frozen in fear, before she rushed to her father's aid. She had to help him.

"RUN!" His final cry as his mind snapped. His eyes rolled back to his skull. All the while Sumire fell in utter terror at the scene before her, crawling backwards away slowly… still hoping against the world that this wasn't real.

"My god…" Shinichi gasped. His grip on the doctor loosened, as Maurki's spasms became more and more violent. When all of a sudden he just stopped… Laying still on the ground

Is he

Shinichi didn't finish the thought as Maruki lunged at him tackling him to the ground. He started beating the man with such violence… violence that was never shown from the doctor before. He tried to guard against Maruki, never truly getting an advantage in the fight.

"DOCTOR STOP!" screamed Sumire as she in turn threw herself on Maruki, the doctor screaming violently in response.

"FIGHT THIS PLEASE!" she begged towards a man she respected greatly, even after all he did.

"Little girl… there is no fighting me…" croaked Maruki. He threw her off into nearby photos, shattering nearby framed pictures of the Yoshizawa family. All three smiling in frozen time not knowing the grim death to befall them.

Sumire cried in pain, landing on her side. She was so powerless here… so unable to fight back against this injustice. As she bled from the broken glass, Maurki approached and twisted her leg until he heard the satisfying crunch.

"AAAAH!" screamed Sumire in pain. She had to help her father slouched against the wall. He clearly wasn't able to fight against this.

"STOP TAKUTO PLEASE! Not her… not her too... Please...please take me instead" Shinichi begged, he couldn't bear to lose another child. Especially if he could do something about it.

"If you insist…" Maruki practically sang to the man. He strolled over to the beaten man. Might as well make a point to the girl… that the doctor was dead.

"DAD NO" cried Sumire trying to crawl her way to prevent this. The pain was unbearable, her dreams crushed. She would never be able to reach the top like this. But that didn't matter; she needed to save the only family she had left.

"Take note, my Violet… this is what happens when you try to change my reality." Maurki gripped Shinichi on the head with both hands, revving up his finishing blow.

"Sumire… I love you"

SNAP

The man fell to the floor lifeless, his head facing the wall. The exact opposite of where it was before. Sumire wailed as loud as she did when she lost her sister that day. Her throat hoarse from the pressure. Maruki closed the corpse's eyes respectfully and turned to her.

"Now about you…" Maruki stared right into her soul as he pondered his conundrum, grinning ear to ear. "Oh, I know" he walked into her room and looked for something for a few minutes. Sumire didn't care anymore she was spent, all motivations gone. But she wiped her tears away with all of her life gone, all there was left was her rage.

"Ah," said the doctor, picking up something and walking back to the bloodied living room. He crouched down to her level and showed her something. Her performance ribbons.

"I think this will have the proper amount of depth." he said chuckling manically. The black blood staining all of his teeth.

"I know this isn't you doctor… that's why I know… whoever you are… YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" A fire raged on in the depth of her soul. Even in death she won't rest until the man responsible for this is brought down hard.

"Such fire… such rage. I love it… you can use it on the other side!" he started wrapping the cloth around Sumire's neck and tightening quickly. Sumire choked and sputtered trying to get another breath in. It was all for nought.

"Look at me… and know I'll join you soon. We have a lot to do… together for eternity." Maruki smiled as the girl started to turn blue. He licked his lips tasting the blood as Sumire's eyes finally started to lose its life. After this he needed to get rid of the doctor as well. Wrapping up this murder-sucide into nice bow. He laughed at his improvised joke.

Sumire thrashed and shook with all her might, trying to get some leeway. But the more she struggled the more breath she lost. Her vision started to black as her strength did too. Sumire croaked out her last breath around the ruins that used to be her family.

"Whoever this is knows where to hit us where it hurts," Makoto stated, wrapping an arm around Sumire trying to comfort her. As she said this she prepared to tell her side, she thought we'll get through this, we have to, I'll bring your justice to light sis.

"It was a few days after Akira left. Sae and I were looking for apartments, as you know me and Haru were going to bunk together, as a kind looking police officer came up to greet us at a place we were viewing" Makoto started into her story strong but started to lose her nerve.

"He… he was so nice, just talking about how nice the local neighborhood was, when all of a sudden… He started to tremble and fell to the ground. We both tried to help him, trying to find what was wrong… but then his hands were around his gun…" Makoto gripped her dress tightly, tears starting to roll down.

"Sis noticed this, must have seen his eyes and realized… before I knew it she was trying to get a hold of him shouting at me to run. I couldn't just leave her like that and tried to help her, but another officer popped out of nowhere grabbing me and holding a gun to my head."

"DROP HIM" the other policemen yelled, black blood streaming from his eyes, drooling out of his mouth the ooze landing on Makoto's shoulder.

"YOU GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER FIRST" yelled Sae. She had just redeemed herself with her sister. Like hell would these twisted people take her from her.

"You know how this goes Sae, drop my friend here, and maybe I won't blow your lil sis's brains out" said the man grinning ear to ear. "Everyone praises Ms. Niijima, prosecutor to save Japan, I'm sick of it, now raise your hands, we only want you… not your whore sister." he demanded, pressing the gun harder against Makoto's head.

Sae gritted her teeth, there was no good ending in this. She closed her eyes as tears began to roll down her eyes. I wonder if this is what dad felt like.

"Makoto, whatever happens here…know I love you. Keep fighting for our justice, your justice. Promise me" Sae looked her sister in the eye for what might be the last time.

"Sis… please no" Makoto begged, sobbing with her. This can't be happening, it was supposed to be over... but corruption is ever living.

"PROMISE ME!" Sae shouted she wanted to hear her sisters resolve. Her determination one last time, she was so proud of what she has become.

"I... I promise" Makoto said to her sister with fire in her eyes.

"Thank you" Sae said with a smile as she let the man go. He then took hold of her, choking her along the apartment wall.

"Watch little girl. Watch as her justice ends" he said with a quick band between the eyes. Sae Niijima, the only blood she had left, fell lifeless to the ground. Makoto screamed in anguist, and struggled against the other man's hold. He had too strong off a hold free as the man who shot her sister helped to hold her down.

"YOU'LL BOTH PAY, YOU'LL ALL PAY" she screamed and thrashed to no avail.

"No witnesses" they both said pointing both guns to her head and shooting her dead.
