[from Kaito's perspective]


Unexpectedly, I landed softly. Soft in white, floating color. I looked next to me and saw Niretsu. With a sick laugh, he got to his feet.

"You're right! Let's finally finish this! One last fight, Kaito!"

"I don't want to fight you"

He glared at me with narrowed eyes. "Then let yourself be killed!"

His hand shot at me, and a bloody dagger appeared in his hand.

I threw up my hands and again the wall of blood protected me.

"Stop it!"

Niretsu ignored me.

With an outcry, he lunged at me. I opened my hand and an assault rifle formed in it. It looked just like the ones from Tan'i.

Laser volleys shot out of the barrel incessantly and shredded my attacker. Niretsu stopped, hit. "You discovered your strength, huh?"

"If so, I don't understand how it works"

"There you can see your stupidity again!"

He whirled his hands around and suddenly had two blasters in his hands.

The bullets ripped through my chest and I fell to the floor, panting.

I didn't know how I could still be alive, but my wounds hurt like hell. I got up.

I opened my eyes, not even realizing that I had closed them. Suddenly the whole area flickered before my eyes. Numbers and letters and more numbers were floating around in the air.

Were on me, literally stuck to my body. Were at Niretsu ...

Niretsu was made of numbers.

I stroked my hand, an impulse that just came like that to my mind.

At the same time, the numbers around my skin changed, changed, spun, and formed a sword.

A sword made of blue letters.

Everything was made of numbers and variables, just everything here.

Although this world consisted of nothing and depth, except for the white color on the ground, there were so many signs and connections here, everything was connected with each other.

I saw a bunch of signs running towards me. Niretsu, I realized.

I brandished my sword and the numbers in the air swirled away from the blade, making room.

It cut Niretsu in the middle of the torso, he fell to the floor in two parts, letters flowed from his wound and mixed with the white characters on the floor.

"No!" Shouted Niretsu. Suddenly he was whole again. With a heavy blow, he rammed his fists into the ground. Immediately everything went black, the numbers disappeared into the deep nothingness.

Niretsu suddenly started screaming. "Do you know where this white color comes from ??"

Although this question was completely out of context, I had been wondering that all along. And also why Aima's mother looked just like mine ...

I mean, I was maybe in my brain, but that was a bit too weird, even for that.

"I'll show you!"

He raced over to me and rammed his fist into my face, so fast that I couldn't react quickly enough.

Everything went ... white before my eyes.
