Sayori: "well it looks like we're teaming up."

Tom: "Yeah, it seems like it."

"Say tom, why you wear that surgery mask?"

"Well i don't know, i'm use to wearing this, i can take it off if you want."

"No is alright, there is a flu flying around so i say keep it on."

"If you say so sayori."

"Well we should probably go, is getting late."

"Yeah, let's go."

We walk out of the room and see yuri and simon together, sayori thought of saying her goodbyes.

Sayori: "heeey! Yuri!"

Yuri: "hmm?"

They both stop and see the both of us.

Sayori: "hey, i just wanna say goodbye to you guys and good luck with your preparation."

Yuri: "oh, thank you sayori, we very appreciate it, right simon?"

"Yeah..."

Tom: "what's the long face simon?"

"Nothing..."

Tom: "well it seems that something is on your mind."

"Just let it go man."

Sayori: "simon if there's anything you wanna say then say it, we're always here to help."

"Yeah i know, i just...thinking that's all."

Tom: "thinking about what?"

"Is personal."

Yuri: "yeah i think we should be going now, is nice seeing you sayori and tom, we be seeing you monday okay?"

Sayori: "yeah, you too yuri."

Tom: "Alright, we should be going, see ya guys."

Both: "bye."

We walk to the exit as we walk down the sidewalk and leave school premise as i wonder where i'll be staying at.

"So sayori, where i'll be staying?"

"You be staying at my place, my family would love visitors."

"Ah, okay."

"Yeah, is gonna be fun!"

"Yeah, fun."

We walk in the suburb area as we were close to her house as she said.

"There's my house, i can't wait until you meet my parents."

"Yeah, can't wait."

"What's the matter? Scare?"

"Well i just, never meet a girl parents before."

"Wow you say that like we're a couple or something."

"D-don't get me wrong i would love to meet your parents, i just, a little nervous."

"Oh okay, don't worry my parents are nice people so relax."

"Oh okay then."

I took deep breaths as we were in front of her house as she knock on her door as the person open it up was her mom.

Her mom look a lot like her daughter but taller and her hair is much brighter.

Her mom: "hey honey! Who your friend?"

"Hey mom, this here is tom, he'll be staying with us for two days."

"Two days? Why's that?"

"Because me and him are doing our preparation together."

"Oh how wonderful, is nice meeting you tom."

"Yeah, you too."

Her mom: "come in come in, don't want you two to get a cold or anything."

We enter the house and i look around the place: it was a two stories house with traditional households, furniture and paintings.

The place was pretty big but just a right size for a family of three.

As i look around i didn't realize that sayori mom said something.

"Tom, do you want something?"

"Huh? Oh um i'm okay."

*stomach growling*

Her mom: "Well it seem that you stomach got something to say."

"Hehe, yeah..."

Her mom: "don't worry, i'll batch up dinner soon."

Sayori: "come on tom let me show you my room!"

"Okay."

We went upstairs and we enter her room as i look around the room and see a bed, stuff animals and that her room was a mess.

Sayori: "so what do you think? I know is pretty messing but i'm dealing with it."

"Huh, well it is pretty messing but maybe we can clean it up."

"Yeah! Maybe you can help."

"Yeah and you're helping too."

"Man when did this turn out to be a chore?"

"Hehe, well maybe you should keep your room clean and we wouldn't be doing this."

"Hey i clean my room, when i'm not lazy..."

"Heh, well should we get started?"

"Yeah i guess so."

We start cleaning up her room, luckily it wasn't that long as we rest on her bed as i was uncomfortable sitting right next to sayori.

We talk for a moment as i said.

"Hey sayori, so what do you do here for fun?"

"Well, i usually on the computer at times but i'm usually not home at the time."

"What do you mean?"

"Well i go outside and play with my friend mc."

"Mc? Is that for short or something?"

"Yep! It is, he's my best friend since childhood."

"I see, well i would like to meet him one day."

"Yeah! Hopefully you two will get alone well."

"Yeah me too."

"...say tom, can i ask you some personal questions?"

"Uh what? Why's that?"

"Well i just...wondering about what you guys do, and if you are a good guy or something."

"Oh i see. Well what we do is simple: we help those that have mental problem and we help them within themselves to get over it."

"Oh i see, well how?"

"Well we travel through there world as we call it, and help them fight off against their monsters."

"Monsters? You fight monsters?"

"Well technically we fight monsters, we go to there world which is their subconscious and we help with there problem."

"I see. Well that's interesting."

"Yeah it is, well is there anything else you want to know?"

"Hmm. Well, how do you fight the monsters?"

"We fight them with guns."

"Guns? Really?"

"Yeah, i have a gun on me right now, but don't get it the wrong way! I won't use it on anyone but on monsters."

"Oh okay."

"Kids! Dinner ready!"

"Oh! That's my mom! Come on let's eat!"

"Okay."

We exit her room and we went into the kitchen and see what the food we be eating.

"Alright kids dig in, also tom make yourself at home."

"Sure Mrs sayori mom."

We dig in as we eat her mom food until she got something to say until we heard a door open.

"Uh, what a day."

Her mom: "oh hey honey."

Sayori: "dad!"

Tom: "dad?"

Her dad: "hey honey what's for dinner-oh...i didn't know we have company."

Her mom: "yes we do, he's name is tom, and he'll be staying with us for two days to help with sayori preparation for the festival."

Her dad: "oh i see, well okay then, is nice meeting you tom."

"Yeah, you too sir."

Her dad: "Alright i'll be here in a second, eat without me okay?"

Her mom: "okay hon, lets eat kids."

Sayori: "okay."

We eat for a minute as her dad came and join us, we ate in silence as we eat until we finish for a while.

Her dad: "so tom, tell me about yourself: where do you live if you don't mind me saying."

"Oh umm, well i live far away from you guys, so is a hike away from my house to my school."

Her dad: "hm i see, tell me are you two together?"

Tom: "what? No we're not."

"Oh i see, well i just wonder why you choose to help my daughter with her festival preparation."

"Well who ever we choose to talk to first will be our partner. The club president came up with it."

Sayori: "yeah, she did."

Her dad: "oh okay is a school thing, alright, did you want to be with her?"

"Well she is a interesting girl if you don't mind me saying."

Her dad: "yes, she is."

Her mom: "okay well i think is late so maybe you two should get ready for bed."

Tom: "really, but is only 6:04?"

Her mom: "well we always sleep early at times but if you want you could stay up after 12?"

Tom: "no is fine, i don't stay up late."

Her mom: "okay then, sweetie why won't you show him his bed now would you?"

Sayori: "okay mom, come on tom let me show you your bed."

"Uh okay."

We went back to her room as she said.

"Wait here, i'll be back with your bedsheets."

"Okay."

She left as she was gone for 30 seconds as i look around her room and hear her door open as she came back with the bedsheets and other stuff.

"Okay i'm back, here's your bedsheets and blankets."

"Oh okay, thank you sayori."

"No problem, do you need me to help you set up your bed?"

"Why umm, no i can handle it."

"Okay, if you say so."

I set up my bed as it didn't take that long, as sayori ask me something.

"Say tom, what do you think about my parents?"

"Well there nice people so they understand my situation, but i don't know about your dad, i don't think he likes me."

"Don't say that, he's a nice person, you just gotta know him more and he'll know you."

"Okay, i understand."

Tom: "say sayori, when are we going to do our preparation?"

"Oh that, we doing that on sunday."

"Why sunday?"

"Well so we can be prepared."

"Prepared? Okay if you say so."

"I'm a little tired, i'm a going to bed."

"Yeah i would like to get some sleep too. Good night sayori."

"Yeah good night tom, be sure to turn off the lights."

"Yeah, got it."

I went and turn off the lights and got into bed and close my eyes and fell to sleep.

When i wake up i sit upward and see that sayori was still asleep, i though of waking her up but thought no.

I let her sleep as i got up and was about to leave until i remember that this isn't my house, but thought that her parents couldn't be home right?

I open the door and look around the place to see if there home, and they're not.

I went and check their refrigerator for anything to eat but couldn't find anything.

I sigh as i wonder what to do, as i went back to sayori room as she was awake, i startled her as she said.

"Tom? You're up?"

"Yeah, i got up before you."

"Oh okay, did you went into the kitchen?"

"Yeah, i was trying to find something to eat but couldn't find anything."

"Oh, well let me help you."

She got out of bed and walk right pass me and open the door.

She went into the kitchen and see what to make.

"Uh, i don't know to how to cook so i'll just make some cook toast. Does that sound good?"

"Yeah, anything is good."

"Okay."

She went into the cabinets and pull out a loaf of bread and open up the bag and put in some bread into the toaster.

We waited for a couple of second as the toast was done with it being a little brown.

She put in the next bread as we wait as she went into the fridge and got out butter and spread it on the toast.

She handed it to me and said.

"Here, here your toast tom."

"Sayori, thank you."

"No problem, my toast is done."

She went and got out her toast as it was almost burnt, as she spread some butter on it and ate it.

We ate our toast rather fast as we now have a conversation.

"So tom, how you feeling?"

"Uh fine, you?"

"Alright, i'm doing fine."

"Say sayori, when are we going to do the pamphlets?"

"Oh that, well we be doing it tomorrow so don't worry about it."

"Oh really? Why tomorrow?"

"Well monika said that we need to prepare so we have to wait. In the meantime we can do something today."

"Do what?"

"Well we can, um...i don't know? We can... go to the park or something."

"Hm yeah, a fresh air seems good."

"Yeah! Maybe we may see someone."

"Okay sound like a plan, when are we going?"

"Well i got to get ready, so i'll be right back."

"Okay, take your time."

I wait for 1 minutes as she come out wearing a short jean pants and a pink shirt.

"Alright i'm ready! Are you ready?"

"Yeah, i'm ready."

"Okay lets go."

We walk out of her house and walk down the sidewalk as we have a conversation while we walk to the park.

"So tom, can you tell me why you join jo crew?"

"Well for starters, uhh. This is rather personal but, i think i can share it... long ago i was in a apartment building surviving through monsters that was nothing more than my subconscious. I escape from the apartment and was on the streets but something wasn't right.

I look around and follow a set path to a building and i was in a apartment building surviving again through new types of monsters that was coming after me.

I went into a room because i was following a cat i adopted, and it lead me to a room where i was stuck, i couldn't get out, until i heard from the other side and it was them, now long ago i have different people well the only person new was a girl named heather.

I was the last one of their teammates to be found and i was the one who been pick on the most. Mostly because i wasn't wearing any shoes nor i remember my name.

But when i join them i was rather glad to have someone by my side, instead of being alone. Because, i didn't want to die alone."

"Oh, what an interesting story tom, sorry that i didn't know that wasn't your real name. But i'm glad you share it, now you don't need to hide anything from me."

"Heh, well i glad i got that off my chest."

"Yeah, say we almost there."

She start running as tom chase after her as they were at the park.

They look around while walking as they saw simon and yuri together, they went to them and said.

Tom: "hey you two."

Sayori: "hi Simon and yuri! You two look lovely together, almost like a couple."

They both were stun to hear that as they were both unsure about that, they soon look at them as yuri said.

"Sayori don't say stuff like that..."

Simon: "yeah, uncalled for."

Sayori: "hehe, sorry i'm just teasing."

Tom: "say, what you two doing here?"

Yuri: "we're just out for some fresh air that's all."

Simon: "yeah, what are you two doing out here?"

Sayori: "we just wanted to go out there nothing to do back home."

Yuri: "oh, same as us i see..."

Tom: "yeah, well is nice seeing you two again."

Simon: "yeah, we were just leaving."

Tom: "oh okay, well take care."

Sayori: "see ya guys."

We went our separate ways and take in the scenery as we walk around the park we soon rest on a bench and start talking."

Sayori: "hey tom, how it feel to help people?

Tom: "huh? Well it feels good to be honest, it make me feel useful really.

Sayori: "that's great to hear...say tom, i know this is personal but do you have a girlfriend?"

Tom: "what? Well i use to but... i don't want to talk about it."

Sayori: "oh okay if you say so."

They look out and enjoy the outdoors, tom was at ease as it felt good to be in a peaceful environmental then alone. He look at sayori who was looking around, her expression was a little bit sad as tom don't know whether to push in this or not but decided to do it.

Tom: "hey sayori, are you okay?"

Sayori: "...oh, yeah i'm fine."

She doesn't look convince as tom don't know whether to push in this or not but decided to do it a little.

Tom: "you sure? You look a little down."

Sayori: "yeah i'm fine, don't worry about me tom."

She put on a convincing smile this time as tom decided to take it as it is and continue looking out.

A half hour has pass as tom and sayori decided to move on and continue looking around the park. They saw a water fountain, a couple sitting at a bench and a statue as they leave the park and head out to get something to eat since sayori's parents couldn't be home until tonight.

They decided to stop by a cafe that sayori goes to often to get a quick drink and meal before heading home.

Sayori: "so, what do you want tom?"

Tom: "uhh, i think i will have a glass of water and a crumpet. You?"

Sayori: "umm, i'll take a hot tea and a sandwich."

Tom: "okay, now we wait for a waiter."

It wasn't long until a waiter came and took their order, they waited for their food and drink to arrive as they start a conversation.

Sayori: "so tom, what do you think of my parents?"

Tom: "oh, well your mom is nice and i don't know about your dad, but i'm enjoying my stay."

Sayori: "*chuckle* well you just need to know my dad a little bit more than you two will be best friends!"

Tom: "yeah, i guess so... say, do you know about the other teammates we're missing?"

She look at him perplex as she said.

"What? What other teammates? Are you talking about Your teammate?"

Tom: "what? No, i'm talking about the girls. You know, alice and jill. Remember?"

She look at him for a while until she said: "i don't know what you talking about, i don't know any person named alice or jill. Are you messing with me?"

Tom was confuse about what's going on.

Tom: "n-no, of course i'm not messing with you, you seriously don't know who they are? Theirs four of them."

Sayori: "hmm...no, i don't know, but if they're missing then i hope you guys will find them."

Tom was puzzle about this, she doesn't know where the girls are let alone know who they are, as he was thinking about this their food and drinks was here.

Sayori: "alright, i'm starving, let's eat."

Tom: "yeah..."

They ate their food as they didn't talk, soon they pay for their meal and left the cafe rather quiet like as they head home without saying a word.

When they enter through the gate sayori start talking again with enthusiasm for some reason.

"Come on let's get inside i want to show you something!"

Tom: "oh okay."

Sayori bring tom into her room and open a drawer and pull out a piece of paper and handle to him.

Sayori: "here tom, i wanted to show you one of my works that i made and show back at the literature club."

He look at the title and it was called: bottles. He read the paper and was surprise to read it, it was a dark poem about sayori putting her emotions in a bottle and giving it to her "friends" but instead it go through them and shatter on the ground.

He finish reading and look at sayori as she was smiling pleasantly at him which made him almost unpleasant, he said: "sayori, you wrote this?"

Sayori: "that's exactly what mc said too, hahaha, you two are similar to each other."

Tom: "uhh yeah, sure, say sayori are you trying to say something in this, poem?"

Sayori: "what? Uh, no no of course not, i was trying to make the best poem ever and this really help with me to understand my emotions, the reason behind this is more of a afterthought."

She was looking away from tom at the end of her sentences as tom notice this he wasn't so sure that this poem reason was a afterthought, he decided to push on this a little and said.

"You sure? This poem seems weird like is very imaginative and dark at the same time it was sad near the end. Are you sure you not try to tell anyone that you have a problem?"

Sayori gasp as she was almost surprise as she said.

"What?! You think i have a problem? Tom i'm totally fine don't worry about me, see."

She grin as wide as she can as tom wasn't so sure that she was being honest with him, he said.

"Sayori, is alright if you have a problem, everyone has a problem alright, you don't need to hide anything from me okay?"

Sayori pount as she look almost offended as she said.

"I don't have a problem okay? So don't assume i do alright?"

Tom: "okay, if you say so. Just know that i care okay?"

Sayori: "okay, if you say so..."

Their was a awkward silence between us as she look at me and said.

"Say, do you want to watch something?"

"Uhh, sure, why not."

"Great! Let's go downstairs."

"Okay."

They went downstairs and went into the living room to see what's on t.v as sayori grab the remote and turn on the t.v and flip through channels after channels.

Sayori: "so what do you want to watch?"

Tom: "i don't know, anything really."

"Okay, well how about this one."

She stop on a horror movie as they watch it together, it was a psychological horror movie as they watch it until the end.

By the time it was done it was already evening time as sayori yawn a little as tom yawn too, sayori said.

"Hey, wanna go to sleep early tonight?"

"Yeah, sure, why not."

Sayori: "so what do you want to do now?"

Tom: "i don't know, what do you want to do?"

"Hmm, i'm feeling imaginative tonight so, let's play in my room."

"Sure, why not."

"Great, let's go."

They leave the living room and went to her room as sayori went and get her stuff animals that she has, she grab a bird a cow and a bird.

Tom look at her who was in a good mood as he look at the stuff animals that she has as he was a little perplex and said.

"Uhh, i wasn't expecting this, you sure about this?"

"Yeah! Let's play dolly for now until my mom comes home."

"Uh, i guess so, heh, you such a child."

"Hey, what that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing, lets just play."

"Okay! What do you want to play as?"

She said holding a stuff animal in her hands, luckily he was wearing a mask because he was smiling through his mask as they play for a while.

Sayori: "Du, du du du du duu~ oh! Hello there mister cow, how are you doing in this wonderful day?"

Tom: "good, i'm having a terrific day, mooo."

"That's good to hear, say, let's see how toucan is doing."

"That sound like a wonderful ideal, let's go together."

"Yeeah!"

They march their animals to another stuff animal that was a black bird with a hat, sayori said in a cutesy tone.

"Hi there toucan how are you?"

Sayori: "I'm feeling down in a weather."

Sayori: "oh no! What should we do to cheer him up mister cow?"

Tom wonder what he should say as he thought of something and said.

"We should talk about it, that may help."

Sayori: "no, i don't feel like it..."

Sayori: "oh no! That didn't work, what should we do now?"

Tom thought and thought about what to say, he then came up with a plan and said.

"...how about we give him a big hug, that usually help me when I feel under the weather."

"Yeah! That will work! Let's try that out."

Sayori: "no wait, wait!"

They have their animals hug the black bird as sayori said.

"Mmmmm."

"This feel...great, thanks you two."

Sayori: "noo problem, anytime."

Sayori: "yay, we did it, that was fun."

Tom: "yeah, it was."

They soon heard a door open as they got up off the floor and look out the door as sayori said.

"My mom's home, let's go and meet her."

"Okay."

They went down the stairs and see her mom as sayori went and hug her mom.

Her mom: "hey little cinnamon bun how are you?"

Sayori: "i'm good, how you?"

Her mom: "great, tonight i brought us Chinese food today so-oh! I'm sorry tom i forgot you're here so i brought you some chicken so eat up."

Tom: "oh thank you sayori's mom."

Sayori: "yeah, when dad's coming home?"

"Oh he's should be coming home soon, for now let's eat."

They sat at the table and eat dinner.

Soon sayori and tom decided to go to bed as sayori said her good night to her mom and they went to bed.

"Good night sayori."

Good night tom."

They drifted off to sleep.

The next morning tom woke up and see that sayori wasn't in bed, he decided to see if she's in the kitchen as he left her room he look at the kitchen and see sayori sitting at the table doing nothing.

He look at her as she look rather depress looking as he wonder what wrong with her, he approach her and said.

"Uh, sayori? Are you okay?"

She look at him with surprise as if she woke up from a daze, as she said.

"Huh? Oh, good morning tom, how you feeling?"

He was confuse on this, why is she deliberately ignoring the fact that she was in a faze? He said.

"Uhh, are you okay? You look a little down when i saw you, are you okay?"

"What are you talking about? I'm fine tom you don't need to worry about me."

Tom look at her for a while as he try to understand what's going on, he decided to ignore it for now and said.

"Uh, sure, whatever you say sayori. Say, today we're doing the preparation today right?"

Sayori eyes lighten up as she said.

"Oh yeah! We're doing the preparation today! I can't wait for the festival tommower."

"Yeah, me too..."

"What's the matter? Why the long face?"

"I'm just... worried about you."

"What? Why? I'm in a good mood, you don't need to worry about me i told you, is there something you want to say?"

"Well, no. I just, care that's all. Sayori if anything bother you then tell me alright?"

"Jeez, you don't need to worry alright, i'm fine really, let just do our preparation okay?"

"Okay..."

"Alright! I'll be right back."

She got up and went into her room as tom waited for about a minute or so as he started to get worried.

"Ah! No, no, aaaaaaaahhh!"

That scare the life out of tom as he yell.

"Sayori!"

He ran upstairs as he ran down the hallway he ram the door open and saw it.

He saw sayori hanged, his blood went cold when he saw it, he couldn't believe it.

"S-sayori...no, nonononono, this can't be happening, this... this doesn't make any sense."

Then suddenly a thunder can be heard as it became cloudy outside, the world started to shake as sayori flickering out of existence as only a noose was left as half of the room cut apart and a pile of stuff fill up to create a walkway down to the streets was made.

Tom look out and see that it was raining outside as he was at a state of shock, he question the situation and said.

"What? Am i'm in a world? But who's?"

He look out as he gain sense as he pull out his gun and ready it as he said.

"Let's see who i need to help."

As he venture foward through someone world.

He walk down the street and saw some paper on the ground, he approach it and pick it up and read it, the title was called bottles, he read this before, it was sayori's as he question about this.

"This is sayori's, wait, if this is sayori then that mean she's still alive. I got to find her and help her."

He throw the paper away and continue foward through sayori's world and got ready for anything that might be a threat.

He ran down the street and stop near the edge of a cliff and look around, he look down and only saw fog, he look foward and see the other end of the street, he can bearly see it but it's there.

He can also see that this world is bizarre as he can see a clunk of a world floating in mid-air as he see it and look around to see a path to take, he follow the path and see where to go.

He ran through someone backyard and was back on the streets, he wonder where in the world is it taking him as he ran down the street and stop near a lamppost to look around.

It was foggy and he look in both side of every direction as he decided to head south, as he ran down the street and see nothing but houses, he stop in front of a house and open it up and went inside.

What inside was a typical household of stuff as he look around and saw a magazine as he pick it up and have one left, he continue foward through the house to see anything else but found nothing, he went outside and see a path that he take and wonder where it goes.

He follow through a set path that this world is taking him as he ran through puddle of water and see a school not far from here, he ran down the street and notice something in the middle of a intersection.

He look at the figure and heard crying as he approach it and see is size: it's the same size as sayori but as he got close he see is skin.

It was livid as is skin was entirely contused he see that is shape was firm and short as he can clearly see that it was a humanoid figure that crying as he have his gun ready as he said.

"Hello? Are you friendly?"

The monster stop crying as it turn around slowly as it show is face: it eyes were hollow as is mouth was out stretch and doesn't have any facial features. It made wailing noses as it move slowly toward him as he didn't take any chances and fire at it.

He shot it once as it rear back and then scream as it face started to water as it move more quicker as tom fire at it two times as it fell on the ground and died.

Surprising it bleed water out of is wounds as tom didn't gave it much attention as he continue foward down the street, just another symbolize monster.

He was in the school premise as he wonder why the world decided to bring him here, he went to the front of the school and enter through the entrance as he see that the inside of the school was not safe.

The walls were damp from top to bottom as he see from inside water was coming from the ceiling as it should of been there but only was darkness was shown.

He move cautiously through the entrance lockers as he look in three direction from left to right to foward as he wonder where to go.

To his left was classroom door and also to his right and foward, he was on the first floor as he decided to check out the rooms for anything but he found in the rooms were desks and chairs and strangely enough were bottles of weird things like cloud like substance and only as described as 'magic' glows were in the bottles.

He did however when checking the classroom found some ammo for his gun as he now have 3 mags, as he did also found those weeping monsters with different appearance such as one with eyes but not real eyes but those fake eyes like dolls have, as he avoid them as much as he can but that sometime wasn't a option.

He check bathrooms but only found nothing of interest as he move foward through the school and went upstairs and see more of those weeping monsters walking around the hallways, as he mostly avoid them as much as he could as he enter through some rooms, one room in particular was a room that change from wet to clean as he see ghost of students who were talking among themselves as he look around and saw sayori who was looking out the window, he approach her as the scene change from normal to dark and raining outside.

Sayori was crying as he look around and see that the students have disappeared he soon heard voices coming from nowhere as sayori yell out.

"Stop it, stop it!"

As the world change back to wet and damp he see a key on sayori desk as he pick up and comment on the scene.

"What the hell? Is sayori... no she can't be, can she?"

He exit the room and explore the hallways and check room after room to find anything of used but found nothing but bottles and monsters, one room in particular was drowning in water as he thought that the water was shallow but it wasn't as he plunk into the water as he swim up and gasp for air as he look around and saw something swimming up to him.

He got out of the water but was too late as something grab hold of his leg as it was strong as it drag him back into the water as he try to break free but couldn't, he pull out his gun and fire at it which thankfully his gun was waterproof as he killed the monster that surprisingly look like sayori as he swim back up and got out of the water.

He look back and was thankful that he got out because more of them were coming out, he decided to move on and continue in the school.

He avoid the weepers and went upstairs to the third floor and look around the place, he see down the hallways and remember that he is probably close to the literature club, he went down the hallway and see the literature club but one thing in particular was that it was lock.

He try the key but it didn't fit, he need to get in there somehow he doesn't know why but he does, he move foward avoiding the weepers and try some doors, he saw a particular door that was different then the others.

He try the key and it fit as he open the door and enter the room and notice he was in sayori room.

He look around and then a flash of light happen as he was taken by surprise as it wasn't long until it goes away, he see a ghost of sayori who was on her bed sleeping.

He approach her and suddenly he heard voices but he can faintly hear them, they sound like they were talking to sayori while she sleep as the voices became increasingly louder as tom nearly close his ears.

Sayori woke up and cover her ears as she can't handle the voices anymore, they were saying: "sayori. Kill yourself."

Sayori: "get out of my head, get out of my head get out of my head!"

Then suddenly three small dark silhouettes appear as they were talking to sayori as she look at them and said.

"Get, get out of here!"

They red eyes just stare at her as they were smiling at her like they're enjoying this, tom always hated when he see these flashbacks, he wanted to intervene and help them anyway he could but couldn't.

But suddenly they turn their attention to tom as he jump a little and he pull out his gun and aim at them as sayori flicker away as they pull out a scalpel and walk toward him while he hear the voices getting louder.

Them: "sayori will die is our mission to kill her, you must die if intervene."

Tom: "son of a..."

Then suddenly they went speedy quick as they stab tom as he yell out, he see them coming closer as he hold his guts as he look at the silhouettes as they laugh at his pain as he point his gun at them and fire at one of them and shot one of them in the head.

He killed one of them as he heard it scream in pain as it disappears, they soon were shacking uncontrollably as he heard them yelling as they went speedy quick to him cutting his legs as he fell on one knee and look at them as he need to move or he's dead.

He limp his way to gain some distance away from them as he look at them coming closer, he fire at one of them but they avoid it, he cuss as he try again but still miss, he ran out of bullets as he reloaded his gun and aim at them but they went quick to him as they were going to stab him but he dodge it and fire at it and killed it.

The last one scream again as it went crazy and scramble to him, it cut him up as he fell his way away from it as he crawl his way to gain some distance he aim at the last one but it was hard to get a clear shot.

He use as much of his strength to stand up and see it going left to right fast as it came quickly to him as he kick it which stunning it and fire at it which killed it.

He fell over as he look at his wounds as he breathe heavily, he try to stand up and manage to do so as he look back and see a light happened as he see that the room was more brighter as he see a key and a syringe on the bed as he grab both of them and use the syringe on him.

His wounds heal, he left her room and look at the key as he venture back to the literature club and use the key on the door, he enter the room and was surprise that it was normal but it was still raining outside, he soon saw another flashback as he see the girls sitting at their desk and he look around.

A person enter the room and they look at him with cheerfulness, they went and greet him as the scene change as they were talking to the boy, sayori was in the back messing around with a eraser as she look rather down.

Tom can soon hear her thoughts as she said.

"Why does mc always hanging out with those girls? Why doesn't he hang out with me?"

When she said that for a split second he saw her hanged as tom look at the boy and thought: "this is mc?" He soon see the scene change as he saw mc staring at sayori who was looking at monika who was at sayori who bend over and spoke with her.

Monika: "hey sayori, how you feeling?"

Sayori: "i'm doing okay, thanks for asking."

"Well it doesn't seem like you are. Tell me, what's bothering you?"

"I told you i'm fine, you don't need to worry about me..."

"I know when you're lying, so don't play dumb with me, you're upset because of your depression right? Also with mc staring to hang out with the other girls more you feel like you've been forgotten. Am i'm right?"

"What? How-how did you know about that?"

Her words became more scared as monika said.

"Answer the question, are you doing alright?"

"...no, i'm not, but how do you know about my depression?"

"I know everything about you girls, about your depression, natsuki abuse and even yuri little habit she does, do i need to say more?"

Sayori eyes widen as she said.

"What? Natsuki is being abused? How you know about this?"

"I'm the one answering the questions here, listen sayori don't you think that anyone care about you? No they don't, they won't pay any mind to you so why won't you do us a favor and just, disappear."

"Why, why you being so mean? I thought you were my friend?"

"I am you're friend, if i wasn't i wouldn't be talking to you now would i?"

"But you're not acting friendly at all, why you doing this to me?"

"Because, who will? Well anyways, sayori i want you to know that i care for you okay, don't worry about your depression and everything will be alright, okay, so don't worry. Is not like you will have a happy ending."

"What?"

"You will die one day, we all will, i hope you remember that.

"What?"

"Anyway, great talk i hope you have a good day."

Then they disappeared, he look around and see that it was dark still, he went to her desk and see a key as i pick up and comment on the situation.

"Why is monika was being a bitch? Something isn't right here.

He exit the room and look at the key as it said: "my home."

He went down the stairs and exit the school and ran down the street from the opposites side.

He went down a set path that this world is taking him as he ran into houses and he inspected them and found a syringe and continue in the house and exit out back and move foward.

He fought some monster that was in his way as he continue foward through the world and see a house near the end as he enter through a gate and use the key on the door and enter the house and look around the place.

The house was worst then the school as he went upstairs and heard crying, he approach the door and he gently open the door and enter the room and see sayori sitting on her bed with her head between her legs.

He look at her and said: "sayori?"

She stop crying and look at him, tom look at sayori who said.

"Tom, what are you doing here? Get out while you still can."

"I'm not going anywhere until you've been help, sayori why do you keep this to yourself? I could of help you."

"You can't help me tom, i'm doom to be depressed, no one can help."

When she said that her room was becoming more wetter as tom said.

"Yes i can, i can help you, if only you let me in."

He slowly approach her and said.

"We can fight this together, you and me sayori alright, just trust me alright?"

Water was coming out of the walls as sayori said. "No, we can't, monika said-"

"Forget what she said! She's wrong! I care about you okay? And i don't want anything bad happen to you, just trust me alright?"

They started to hear voices as sayori start covering her ears as tom approach her as the windows started to crack open as it shattered as wind and rain started to come in, sayori couldn't take it as she said.

"Get out of my head, get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head!"

As the world started falling apart as the house was collapsing, tom and sayori fell as tom look at the scene before him as he see falling debris and saw sayori from afar as he attempt to get to her as the wind push him back, they fell on a field.

Tom got off the ground and look around for sayori, he notice that it was still raining outside and he see a tree with a tire swing from afar, he notice a lighting strike as for a brief moment he saw the tire swing was replaced with sayori hanging as it returns.

He soon see sayori from afar as he went to her as he see her she ran off to the tree as they were underneath it, sayori said to tom.

"Stop! I don't want your help! No one can help me don't you understand!? I have this ever since i was a child, no one could help me, not even professionals! This is my curse that i have to live with, you can't help me!"

Tom look at her for a while until he said.

"Sayori i know you don't want help but tell me, do you want to live with this forever? Well, do you?"

"...no, i don't but what can i do?"

"You can... you can get help from your friends but you didn't want to, you're stubborn and don't listen to what they say, that's why you are so depressed, you been alone with no support and with no support no happiness."

"No tom, i don't want help, that's too selfish, i don't need help...i don't need anyone. I don't need you. Just, leave. Me. Alone."

Sayori change from her sad tone to a more menacing tone as he see her change from normal to straight up magical as paper came out of nowhere as it spin around her as she float as tom look at her as he see her use the paper to attack him as he avoid it.

He pull out his gun and aim at her he said.

"Sayori, don't let me do this!"

She thrown more paper as he been hit from them he look at sayori as her face change from a sad look to a more serious look as she float toward to him, he got up and point his gun and start firing at her.

She took the hit as the battle begun as she throw more paper at him as he dodge it and continue shooting at her as she use the paper as a shield.

Tom continue firing at her and reloaded his gun and start firing again, she then went and use her power to rap around a rope around tom as he struggle to get it off of him while sayori use paper to attack him.

Tom mangage to get the rope off as he firing at her and reloaded, this went on for a while until sayori couldn't take it anymore, one final blow was enough.

She collapse as tom went to her in concern as he said.

"Sayori, are you alright?"

"...mmmh, tom, i'm, i'm sorry."

"Is okay, you don't need to apologize, i'm glad you're alright."

"Tom, you're right, i should get help from my depression, but i'm too stubborn for it."

Then suddenly a flashbacks happened as they look and see a small sayori crying as a boy went to her and comfort her, soon the scene change as the boy and sayori were having fun on the swing set.

Sayori: "to be honest, i love him, he always try to make me happy while i try to help him in return."

Tom: "well, is never to late to confess, and if he reject you then screw him, you don't need him to be happy, happiness come from inside and others, they care for you and so do i."

"Tom..."

She then hug him as he hug back, sayori started shredding tears as she said.

"Thank you."

The rain stop as the sun show itself as sayori disintegrate into bright light as tom know he done his job as the whole world was disintegrating into bright light as tom was consumed by the light.

Tom: "*gasp*"

Tom woke up as so do sayori as they look at each other as sayori said.

"Tom, what just happened?"

"You came to amends. "I did? I do feel a little different. What was that?"

"We were in your world, you can rest now."

Tom took off his mask and smile and said: "i can say this situation is over."

Sayori went and hug him as he hug back as sayori remember.

"Oh yeah, we got the preparation to do."

"Yeah, let's do it."

"Yeah, we have all day anyway, so let's do it."

They got up and begin their preparation.
