(Recap)
The head appeared on the screen again. "You have done half of what's needed. You accept Rika and Hanyuu, but can you accept yourselves?"
Rika's face turned pale. "You can't mean…" She ran up to the screen and pounded on it. "I accept telling them about me, but you can't show them their lives! They'll go insane! I found the perfect world, why must you ruin it?"
The others, besides Hanyuu, looked scared. Rika was making the other worlds seem like Hell.
Hanyuu took charge. "Everyone take a seat." While everyone got into their original seats, Rika was lead to a newly appeared couch.
(Recap end)
The screen showed Keiichi sitting on his futon with Rena sitting next to him. Rika let out a sob. This was one of the most common outcomes of the worlds. Keiichi had remembered this world once, but his confusion and sadness would be greater, now that he understood why it happened. Hopefully Mion and Rena will forgive him.
"I phoned the doctor, so he should be here pretty soon…" said Rena to Keiichi.
Keiichi asked in an accusatory tone, "Why am I here?"
He then heard Mion coming into the house, saying "Excuse me."
"Mion? Why?" Keiichi was lost and looking very confused.
"Your parents aren't here, so I phoned her," explained Rena.
"Oh? You look like your back to normal. I was worried about you." She came into the room and sat next to Rena. "Rena, did you call the manager?"
"Yeah. I phoned him after you, and he said he'd come straight over."
"Who do you mean by 'the manager'?" Keiichi asked cautiously.
Mion laughed. "Didn't you know about him, Kei-chan? When I say 'the manager', I'm talking about the manager! Kei-chan, recently you've started to enjoy baseball, haven't you? I bet he'll be happy when he hears that." Rena nodded in agreement.
"Like I said, who's this manager?" Keiichi was getting aggravated.
Rena laughed now. "The manager is the manager."
"Like I said, who is he?" Keiichi screamed, annoyed.
Rena and Mion were laughing. Keiichi started to back away a bit. "Y-you guys…"
"Oh yeah. Let's get it over and done with before the manager comes. The punishment game," said Mion.
"The punishment game?" questioned Keiichi.
"The sweet rice ball homework…" explained Rena. She looked at Keiichi, her pupils becoming slits like a cats. "You totally forgot about it, didn't you?" Rena sat behind him and held his arms behind him.
"Eh? What the hell are you doing?" yelled Keiichi.
"Don't move, all right? Since it's the punishment game." Mion stood and uncapped a needle while laughing.
"What's with that?" Keiichi demanded. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Mion looked down at Keiichi who was squirming in Rena's grasp, her eyes like the other girl's. "Kei-chan, you know about it, don't you?" She pushed some liquid out from the needle.
"What...what am I supposed to know about?" Keiichi asked confused. Mion gave him a look and Keiichi remembered that Tomitake had died of drugs or something similar. His attempts for freedom strengthened.
"Prepare yourself for this," Mion said. She kneeled in front of Keiichi and pulled one of his arms near her and started to bring the needle towards it.
"No…Stop! STOP!" Keiichi screamed.
Keiichi hit the ceiling light with a blood covered bat, causing the room to be cast into shadows. The shadows that were thrown against the wall show Keiichi pounding the bat over and over again onto Rena and Mion's bodies, splattering their blood everywhere. He stopped and dropped the bat. He stood between the bodies, covered in blood. His breathing came in pants from the exertion. The screen zoomed in on his face, showing his crazed expression. He fell to his knees and bowed his head.
A/N: I decided to stop here so the next chapter won't be as short as I originally planned. Review please! (cookies?)
