[from Kaito's perspective]


I opened my eyes. Confused, I got up and looked around. I was in the middle of ...

Chaos und destruction.

What had happened?

And where was I?

My head ached. Only now  I realized that I was holding a Beretta 92 FS. My trusty weapon ...

The headache got worse. So bad that I almost collapsed. I started to see pictures. Pictures, an infinite number of pictures appeared before my eyes.

And then I remembered everything.

How many years had I missed?

I looked at my hands in disbelief.

I was back after so long.

Niretsu ... Niretsu, my second personality, had controlled me for so many years.

Because I ...  had wanted to hide from the truth. Because I had been scared, because I had been overwhelmed by my pain ...

I had missed a lot, but with every second I remembered more actions of my second self.

And with it how this devastation I found myself in right now, came about.

I had caused so much suffering ...

I used my knee as help to sit on the floor. No, I mustn't think like that. It had been Niretsu, not me. And Niretsu only existed because of the murder of my mother and sister ...

I mustn't blame myself. At least not only me.

And then Niretsu had met this girl ... Aima ... somehow her name seemed very familiar to me. And because she looked like ... like Yuri ... I came back. Because of that one event, I regained control of Niretsu.

Since how long had I been here?

The smoke plunged the destroyed surroundings into a gloomy atmosphere, and some buildings had caught fire. Corpses lay on the floor, blood kept flowing from the helpless bodies.

What should I do now? I had been the mastermind behind the whole coup, which would now fail, as Niretsu was now only somewhere in my mind. Just as I had only existed as a small residue in Niretsu's mind the whole time before. I would never get rid of him completely, I knew that. I still had a lot of damage from my trauma and he would always be a part of me.

But I wouldn't let him get out of hand again. I would keep him in check and stay strong.

"Hey! There! Over there!"

Footsteps approached me.

It were soldiers. "There, a survivor!"

"Are you okay, sir?"

A man looked at me out of his dark visor.

"Yes, everything's fine"

The soldier waved to one of his comrades, and together they carried me out of the ashes of Fukkatsu Square.

I would be interviewed and no one would discover that I had been the cause of all this suffering and the President's death. There wasn't a single evidence for that ...

But I still had to mend my other self's mistakes. Soon the new government officials would resign and new ones would be elected. New...

This day was a new beginning for Japan. For the world. Even if it was already clear that this day wouldn't change much ...

Other corrupt men would come and do the same things as their predecessors ...

But I, I would take this chance. I would change ... To who I really am.

To...

Kaito.
