Chapter 28- Sister

Date: unknown

Location: 3. World (Yūgure), the Door

[from Kaito's perspective]

This would be the last time, I swore to myself. Now I would finish this path and let nothing or anyone stop me! I stepped forward, past MASK, REVENGE, WEAK.

I stood right in front of Niretsu.

"Niretsu ..." I started.

Niretsu trembled. Blood flowed from his skin, where normally sweat would occur. Coughing and spitting, he was struggling to keep himself on his feet.

"You are weak, Kaito .. a nothing ..."

I ignored him. That sentence didn't bother me anymore, I knew that I was weak. But I wasn't as weak as Niretsu. I recognized that, that Niretsu was even weaker than me. He was broken, full of hate, deeply hurt and destroyed. Out of sheer frustration, he had destroyed all of his enemies, expanded his hatred and battered everyone. But what takes more strength? Let out your feelings uncontrollably, or consciously deal with them and find the problem in yourself instead of looking for the blame on others? Sure, I wasn't to blame for the death of my mother and sister ... but because of that I couldn't allow myself to be destroyed, because of something that wasn't my fault at all. My guilty feelings ... guilty of what? I didn't kill her ...

I started to cry.

"See? You are nothing! You cry all the time!"

Niretsu had regained his strength a little.

"Crying is a strength ... showing your feelings and accepting them is harder than suppressing them .."

"I DO NOTHING ELSE! I SHOWED EVERYONE, SHOWED MY EMOTIONS TO EVERYONE !!"

"With the difference that you let yourself be taken over by these feelings. You let yourself be controlled by your own feelings! And that's why you became so insane"

"You have me in you too! I wouldn't even exist without you !! You are the one who let your feelings take over!"

"You're right ... and that's why I'm going to correct my mistake now"

I looked at him straight in the face, which looked exactly like mine.

I turned around.

Looked at the lurking GRIEF-hand.

I remembered Yuri. Our moments. All of them. How devastated I was about losing her and how lonely I had been. And how I couldn't let go of her until now. But that would change now.

I guess I couldn't keep my previous vow. Once more, once more it had to be. Because it was the right way.

I went towards the GRIEF-portal. Ran, and jumped.

Right in the middle of the world.

...

A kind of tunnel opened up in front of me. I was standing in the middle of the white color, it reached up to my hips. Claws grew out of the ground and snapped aggressively at me. In the middle of the white paint the word GRIEF floated in black letters. Grief...

Because I couldn't let go. Because I was so clinging to my past. Because I was filled with grief and I didn't want to acknowledge reality. But that would change now.

I stepped forward through the tunnel. Claws grabbed me and tore open my clothes, tore open my skin. Soon I was bleeding from innumerable scratches and wounds, I was only able to suppress my screams of pain with difficulty.

But at some point I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed and roared out of pain, out of frustration, out of sadness. Emotions hit me mercilessly and mercilessly tore me apart.

I hallucinated the past, I saw Yuri standing everywhere and waving, crying, smiling, or talking.

I crept madly through the tunnel, soon I no longer felt the pain, but my whole body was numb. The sharp claws hit me without stopping.

I started running towards the end of the tunnel. Faster and faster and faster ..

Suddenly everything stopped.

I opened my eyes, I hadn't even realized that I had closed them.

I was still in a tunnel, but it was a real tunnel. A track stretched through the darkness along the floor. A train tunnel.

And I knew it.

I had walked this way one day, filled with frustration and anger, I had wanted to put an end to it all.

And then I had met him. The person who had saved me that one day.

A well-known voice rang out.

"Do you actually know what it feels like to drive against a person as a train driver? The breaking and smacking of splintering bones, the fear and feelings of guilt that arise in the same second? The helplessness, the widening of the eyes before the body meets? You have no more chance, you know that this person will now perish right in front of you "

He had seen me climb into the tunnel and had ran after me. Had torn me out,  to the air, and had given me a lecture.

Because of him ... I had gotten a new perspective on life.

Well, later Niretsu took me over ...

But at least I  had stayed alive.

A few minutes later a freight wagon had rushed into the tunnel at full speed.

A figure appeared before me. It was Yuri.

"Yuri ..." I whispered. "I am sorry"

"Kaito," she howled. "Stay with me forever. Please stay here!"

I shook my head. "How I miss you every day ... but I can't come to you. I have to go, Yuri .. I'm sorry. It's time to let you go, even if it will still hurt me every day"

"Kaito.."

"Maybe we'll see each other again, one day," I whispered, moving my hand.

With my wave the scene also blurred, I found myself right in front of the door.

The YOU literally beamed in my face.

And Niretsu stood by and panted. Collapsed on the floor.

"You fool!"

I approached him. "I'm sorry, Niretsu. That I didn't take my problems into my own hands and had to let you feel all the suffering. That was irresponsible and wrong, and now it's time to fix my mistakes"

I held out my hand to him. "Let's finally leave this chapter behind us"

Niretsu looked at me. Reluctantly raised his hand.

Touched my palm.

"Hihi, Kaito, hihi. You are so stupid, do you know that? Hihi"

He squeezed my hand tight and yanked me down. Down with him, into the black depth that was made only of shadows.
