Let's go back in time and look at Leo, Mary and Takato's experience while being shut out from the outside world.

"Uwaa, I forgot something!" Mary exclaimed as she ran out of the plane.

"Oi, Mary! Wait for us!" Leo yelled as he went after her and so did Takato.

Mary went straight down and to her apartment with Leo and Takato hot on her heels. They were in disguise since there are many people who know them on-board. They finally reached the apartment.

Leo stood at the door panting. "Why did you… run like that?"

"I forgot this." She held in front of her a picture book.

"We ran all the way… here for that?" Takato asked.

"Not to mention we missed our flight." Leo added.

"Sorry." Mary mumbled as she sat down.

"Nah, it's alright. We can catch the next flight." Leo said. They opened the television to see the news. "I guess this is the way of Death to tell us our time hasn't expired yet."

"We should tell the others we are fine." Mary said then Takato's phone rang.

"Uhhh, hello?" Takato said.

"So you are alive. I thought you were dead." A voice said. Takato put it on loudspeaker.

"Hey prez, what's up?" Leo asked.

"The whole world thinks you three died in a terrorist attack on your plane. I suggest you go into hiding. I'll send you the address to your secret place."

"Can we tell our friends about this?" Mary asked.

"Absolutely not." The line went dead after that.

"So, we're dead." Takato mumbled.

"Let's go." Leo said. "To our secret place." He looked at his phone to see the address has arrived.


They arrived to an isolated place in the middle of a forest. There was a log cabin in there and even electricity. It even had a hot spring.

"Uwaaa, this place is enormous!" Mary exclaimed.

"Oh please, Mary. Your house is larger than this." Takato commented. Mary crashed.

"I was giving this place a complement!" Mary yelled.

"A non-living thing does not need to be complemented!" Takato yelled back.

"You guys should stop arguing." Leo said as he lied down on the sofa. The two sat on opposite chairs beside Leo. "When you two argue, you sound like a quarrelling couple."

"W-what are you trying to point out, huh, Leo?" Mary asked while shouting and stuttering.

"Yeah, she already turned me down!" Takato yelled.

"Why are you two yelling at me and declining it like that? I didn't say you two were going out I said you were 'like' two people going out." Leo retaliated with a smile on his face.

The two sat on their chairs while blushing. Leo chuckled. "When will those two learn?" He mumbled to himself. He stood up and headed for the bathroom. "I'm gonna take a bath first, alright?"

The two were still in the awkward silence mode in the living room. Without Leo to break the tension, both were unable to make a move. All anyone could hear was their breathing and the shower.

"Wow, this place is surprisingly quiet even with those two around. Now why is that?" Leo asked while shouting in the bath. "Don't tell me- Nahhh."

Takato and Mary were shaking in anger. "Of course, I feel like the third wheel here. Nah, if I remember correctly, Takato likes my sister. Hmmm, I guess there's no need to fret about this much longer."

"Shut up already!" They both shouted in perfect unison. They both shut up after that.

"See they're in perfect unison with each other." Leo wasn't really in the shower. He was already finished. He was shouting from his room.

"Leo! I'm so gonna kill you!" Takato yelled as he ran to the bathroom to find no one was there. Mary followed him to Leo's room to see the red head was asleep on his bed. Next to him was a note:

"Please let me tease you. I can't stand the fact that my sister thinks I'm dead and I can't even see her. Teasing, joking those are my ways of escaping harsh reality. Please, allow me to do it. I don't want to see reality now.

P.S. The bath is all yours.

-Leo Harune

Both looked at each other. They exited the room.

"I didn't know that side of Leo." Mary pointed out.

"To think I thought I knew him, turns out I don't." Takato said.

"As expected though… Another side of him emerges because of…" Mary started.

"The most important person in the world for him…" Takato continued.

"Aira Harune." They both said in unison.

Mary sighed. "Oh well. Let's go to sleep shall we?" Takato nodded.

End of Night 1…
