Skadi POV
"Come on Hachi! You're older than Eagir but slower than her!"
"Oi. I would like to remind you that I'm the one who's carrying the stuff here and impeding my movement speed from reaching its full potential." He adjusts the big box under his arm to a better position while shifting the picnic mat in his hand to his other hand.
…What? Honestly, Hachi likes to say weird words that make no sense! Tsk, tsk, no wonder he can't make any friends.
Which is a good thing since no one will take him away! Other than Eagir but she's our little sister, so I don't mind!
Well, us avoiding talking to other people helps in that regard. Really, everybody else is so boring, what with them being so wary of other people or playing tricks on people.
…Which makes Eagir even more special for being able to get close to them.
Was she also special before coming here? Just like Hachi? Mother told us that she found her at our doorstep one rainy night. Maybe that's why? Or maybe it's because of her long yellow hair? Her blue eyes? Do people like them?
Hmmmmm… Oh well, not important!
I glance over at Eagir to see her blankly looking at him, obviously making her thoughts very clear, and I look back to see him looking away from us.
"…Forget what I said," He mumbles out the words and I can see him blushing a bit. I smile at him then slowly get up from the ground.
"Is little Hachi blushing~? Need your big sister to give you a hand?" I teasingly says as I get closer to him and I see that his red cheeks redden even more.
"No… Ok, maybe take the box before I sli –" He cuts himself off due to tripping over a rock, quickly falling to his demise! Oh no, I have to quickly save the foo – I mean him!
Yeah! Totally mean Hachi! Not the food that's in the box… Maybe… A little…
Ah right! Hachi!
With those quick thoughts out of the way, I dived at him but too late as the bo – he hit the ground. All of a sudden, the ground underneath him disappears into blackness, along with Hachi, then before I could scream out his name, the blackness quickly expands to me. I close my eyes as I wait for something to happen but I feel nothing, so I slowly open my eyes to see that I'm in a room now.
"What…?" I quietly mutter as I look around the room, only to widen my eyes, "It's my room…? Wasn't I at the park for us 3's picnic…?"
I flinch as I suddenly hear loud voices beyond the door, feeling me with a sense of dread all of a sudden. I slowly make my way to the door and quietly open it.
Beyond the door, I see the living room, filled with my parents, grandparents, Hachi, and Eagir surrounding the table. The feeling of dread grows to the point that I don't want to walk closer with my whole body tensing.
But for some reason, my legs decide to walk over to them without my consent. Hey? Legs? What are you doing?! Stop! STOP!
I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE! PLEASE STOP! LEGS!
PLEA –
…I'm sitting. A dark blue and pure black cake is in front of me. A cake that spells out "Happy 7th Birthday Skadi!" with 7 candles lit on it.
…No. No. NO! I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!
I try to get out of the chair but my body won't move. No matter how much I thrash around, I'm still sitting on the chair!
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!
I turn my head to look around, only to freeze as I see my family standing behind me.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Ska?" My mother sweetly asking me with half of her head gone as if something tore into it while her clothing have scratches all over it, "You can eat the cake first."
"Yeah, it's your favorite flavor after all, Skadi." I look down to see my father smiling at me with one of his eyes hanging out of its socket and his body missing the lower part.
I look up to see my grandparents nodding their heads in agreement, "That's right Dearie, no need to worry about us oldies." My grandmother softly says even though it comes out like a gargle with half of her mouth missing and the tongue hanging out in the open while her body is littered with holes.
"Now don't take her words too seriously, Skadi." My grandfather jokingly says with a large hole through his forehead, with blood trickling out as if it's a waterfall. He lifts up his right arm at me, "You still need to worry about us! Haha!" His right hand, barely connected to the arm by a single red thread, twitches as if trying to give a thumbs up.
"Indeed." I hear a voice coming from in front of me, a voice that completely drains what little of blood that remains in me, a voice that I desperately pray to be wrong and I'm just hearing things…
…Ah… I… Looked…
Standing behind the cake is Hachi. The same Hachi who likes to say weird words. The same Hachi who likes to do magic tricks with me. The same Hachi who…
Looked like he was burnt to a crisp.
"Don't just stand on ceremony, Big sister. Cut out a piece and eat."
…Don't look down. Don't look down. Just ignore it. Just ignore how I'm holding a knife. Just ignore how the cake is gone. Just ignore how –
A Seaborn with long yellow hair is staring at me. A seaborn that has a knife in its(her) head.
A SEABORN THAT LOOKS LIKE EAG –
*,,,,,,,,,*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I open my eyes, screaming like a banshee, and quickly rise to a sitting position. I instantly close my mouth then frantically look around the room, as if expecting to see somebody in here.
Anybody.
Just… Somebody…
Seeing that I'm alone in the room, I slowly grab my hat from beside the bed and hug it. I tuck my knees into me, making a pillar that I can put my elbows on, then I rest my head on top of my arms. I feel my eyes watering then tears stream out uncontrollably while my whole body trembles.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry –" I keep repeating those words like a broken record while gripping the hat that Hachi gifted me. Apologizing. Begging forgiveness.
For being alive when you're not.

A/N
Welp, did all of you enjoy the sneak peek of what's in store? If anybody of you read my "Final Dawn" fic (you should read it if you're a fan of parasites and gross stuff!), then you should realize that I can write some pretty messed up shits. This isn't a crack fic like my "The 100 Operators Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love you", so...
There's nothing holding me back with the fun stuffs.
Anyway, on to the comments!
DrackNath - lol. Yep, people really do be malding over fiction lol (especially the shits over at X(twitter) lmao) and incest is one of them. I have gotten a highly desired skill called "Comprehend gibberish" from all my years of proofreading works (yours isn't the worst). *REDACTED*
IsekaiFanBoi - it's not memory erasure but a defense mechanism the brain uses. I can bore you with all of the psychology jargon but tldr - stress makes people forget even more and more frequently
kerrowe - heeeeyy, I don't want to be like those other writers who just skip the intro! (unless I feel lazy lmao). Also, the SAM system can be unsummoned and summoned at 8man's will. Yep, best looking waifus. Reincarnation Isekai. Lol. Lmao, yep goddess is a hoe. *REDACTED*
Hachiman fan - no problem. Lol. Thank you
aidilamzar77 - don't worry, I will since it will get boring for me to write only 8man's pov. I can only write during the night times here (between 3-7 AM), and my health isn't that good (still coughing up blood here), so I just try to write everything in one sitting and post it straight away if possible, in case of something happening to me. Here you go
Kritcal - I'm pretty sure Skadi would blame you for the torture I put her through here lol. True
