[from Kaito's perspective]

I opened my eyes and saw a toy dangling from the colored ceiling. It looked similar to the one in my childhood, I had had something like that too. It was too similar ... No, it was the same ...

!

I sat up in shock and looked around. That was exactly my room! Exactly the same! There, the table with the wobbly legs that I always tried to draw on. Even if nothing good came out of it. And there, my cuddly toys in the play area and the Transformers action figures .. The colorful carpet on the floor that ran to the wooden door! The little closet in which I sometimes hid gummy bears!

Damn it, what was going on here? I got up and caught a glimpse of a small mirror on my little table.

Another shock hit me. I was .. small ..

I was young again. I looked just like when I was a kid.

But wasn't I still in the stuffy room ... in the second world Tan'i ..?

Suddenly the door to the room opened and a brunette, very small girl stumbled into it. "Kaito, ouch, Kaito"

!

I sank to the floor, in front of my little sister's knees. "Yuri," I heard myself gasp. I couldn't breathe anymore. "How-"

"Kaito," she yelled in a toddler's voice. "Hungaa"

I closed my eyes. "Go away!" I screamed. "Out of my head!" I felt seas of tears run down my boyish face. Gasping for air, I curled up on the floor.

Suddenly everything went quiet. After what felt like hours I got up crying. I was.. somewhere else.

On a street in the middle of old Tokyo, as I recognized. My poor family gave birth to me here. But it wasn't a normal street. I knew it too well .. this street ..

I howled even more.

Blood at once flowed down from the walls of the houses, gathered all around me, covered the streets and flowed ceaselessly in gullies. It got more and more and more .. Just blood everywhere ..

"Help me, Kaito!" screamed a desperate voice from the alley next door. "Let go of me!!!"

"Yuri," I gasped delusively. "I will save you! I'm coming, hold out! "

I ran as fast as I could through the huge puddle of blood that was already covering the whole city. Everywhere my foot hit, the red liquid splashed up and covered my wet clothes. I noticed that I was much older than in my old room before. I sprinted down the alley. But there was nothing there. Nothing but blood and a small, dead, helpless—

"YURI," I yelled, opening my eyes. I saw a concerned Aima and a thoughtful Mukanshin leaning over me. I was back in the soldiers' room.

It had been a dream. But it had felt so real, so real. Not like a dream at all! Like at the Stone Circle .. With Niretsu ..

"Niretsu, you—" I started to curse when Mukanshin suddenly stared at me. He was right on my face, staring at me with its hollow eye sockets. Hollow?!!!

I reflexively hit him in the face. Suddenly blood was flowing from the walls again. The dark red color slowly turned to white.

Meanwhile, white blood was also flowing from the holes of Mukanshin, where his eyes once had been. Aima had just diappeared.

Shit, what's going on here ??

Startled, I pushed myself back into the corner of the bed. Mukanshin leaned over and looked at me again. Well, if he could.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed my neck with his suddenly long arms. I tried chokingly to push him away from me. But his grip was so strong, and he wouldn't budge no matter how hard I hit him. I gasped and spat, slowly everything went black before my eyes.

The pain and pressure at once just stopped. I was in the same room again, but without blood and Mukanshin and Aima slept blissfully. Confused, I felt my throat and tried to make sure that this was really the real world. "Damn it .." I swore. Had Niretsu instilled these sick dreams in me? I would find him and I would hunt him down. Until I had him and could get rid of him.

A few more days and the sector games would begin. "I'm coming, Niretsu," I said spitefully, unsure whether I was actually still dreaming.
