Haseo skittered back and held his head in pain as her memories raced through him. As he writhed in pain, Katie was going through worse. Unwillingly, Skeith was Data Draining Tarvos, sending wave after wave of pain through Katie's body.

Then, the Data Drain finished, and Katie fell to the ground with a crack, followed by a low moan. Haseo looked at her, then dismissed Skeith and ran to her still writhing body.

"B-b-buttpad, what the hell did you do to me?" She whimpered.

Haseo couldn't help but burst out laughing. She smiled a little and looked up at him before falling back with a moan. Her body grew still for a few minutes, and Haseo began to panic.


I jerked up with a scream, then ripped off my FMD. There, I saw what had happened to my dear friend. She had fallen out of her chair and cracked her head open in the fall. I ran to her and shook her body, then pulled out my cell phone to dial 911.

After I finished what I was doing, I ran back to the computer and pulled the FMD back on, to find myself face to face with a PC. He stared at me with lost eyes, then sliced his cruel blade across my body.


I did the same as I had in my dream, but this time, thankfully, no one was in a coma beside me. I lifted the M2D and found myself staring at Haseo.

"You okay Katie?" Haseo murmured.

I smiled a little. "Yeah." I sat up so that I was staring at him face to face and touched his cheek. "Thanks for saving me, Buttpad."

He smiled a little, but this was a little sweeter than it would normally be, especially since it was a rather mean joke.

"Hey, Katie! Haseo!" Kuhn called.

I jumped up at smiled at him, then ran over to him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kiss me lightly. I shut my eyes and enjoyed the moment, not knowing what I was doing to someone else.


I laid in my bed quietly, staring at the ceiling, pondering what I had remembered today. Something about him seemed oddly familiar, but try as I might, I couldn't figure out why. So instead, I began to draw him, planning to post his picture on the Apkallu bulletin. Even if this memory had come from R:1, I knew people still played the game. Hopefully, these people had seen this guy back then.

So I started working on the task at hand, barely aware of what time it was until I looked at my clock at a quarter to seven. AM...

I groaned and set my tablet down, then yawned loudly and curled up in my bed. Before I was even aware of it, I was passed out in a cold hard sleep.


Haseo was doing the same thing that Katie was, sleeping. But as he slept, he constantly thought about Katie, and the way she looked at him before running to Kuhn. Running to him.. and kissing him...

He didn't know how to feel, and he scolded himself for thinking about liking her, even in the slightest bit. He had plenty of people that liked him, right? And he sort of liked Alkaid but...

But it wasn't like this. It hurt to see her kissing Kuhn. Didn't she have any idea what he was like?!

Haseo sighed, and began to think about more important things. Why was Katie able to summon Tarvos, and why was the American server going crazy?
