Don't dismiss this outright as the work of some raving lunatic. There's some sense to this story, if you'll just hear me out…

Look, we all wonder if time travel is possible, right? Well, let me tell you something… it is. I'm from the future, actually. I know you probably don't believe that, but seriously, I'm from the future. It's a really great thing; getting to see the past, watching events unfold… stuff like that. We know more now than we ever would.

Behind all the fun, though, there's a more serious aspect. We aren't supposed to go in our own lifetime, and we are NEVER allowed to contact our past selves. Let me tell you, I'm breaking that rule right now. Yes, kid, you're talking to yourself. Your future self. I'm going to be executed for this, but you know what? I accept that. I'm preventing something by talking to you that is WORSE than death. I can't tell you outright what to do, because the filters would catch it. This is the closest I can get, trust me. I can, however, send a little message.

You should probably read the first word of every paragraph, now.


"Yong Soo, why did you do it~aru?"

"-will protect you from a fate worse than death…"

"Why did you murder that poor girl~aru? She was her father's only child!"

"I have no memory of the incident! I tell you, I'm innocent!"

"Dr. Von Bock was very upset! And then when you got unauthorized access to his lab~aru, I couldn't believe you abused your privileges~aru."

"Abused my privileges? ABUSED my privileges? Hear that, Honored Brother. Abused my privileges. What are you going to do, report me to the police? No one has my level clearance except for you and that other stupid researcher."

"…Why did you do it~aru? You drove yourself mad~aru."

Two pinpoints of reflected light, a pair of fever eyes, gazed up at Yao with perfect lucidity despite the strong sedatives Yong Soo had in his system. Inhumanly strong hands clutched his sleeves and pulled them down until Yao was nose-to-nose with his mad younger brother.

"The…sacred…rite."

The answer was nonsense, and Yong Soo released a disappointed Yao after saying it, returning to his picture book and Crayola crayons; mute and tattered like the old rag doll model of him that still resided in Yao's study.

Unhappy, the P.I. pursed his lips and called the nurse, a friend of Dr. Von Bock's. His warm green eyes comforted Yao.

"Uh…Doctor Wang? Eduard says he's found the vidfile during the night your brother broke into your lab. He wants to know if he should hand it over to security right away or hold on to it until you arrive at the laboratory."
