　Yuuji woke up with a startle.

　Beads of sweat drenched his body, from his temple down to his shoulders and still went below. He found it difficult to breathe, every breath he took was ragged and unevenーa pure torture.

　The lad shook his head frantically in order to erase the remaining memory of his dream. He sighed before getting out of the bed. A glass of cold water sounded like a good decision to calm him down from his nightmare.

　The lad walked down the stairs to the kitchen while humming—just an attempt to distract himself. And it succeeded.

　Only for a moment.

　For Yuuji’s eyes widened once he opened the door. His lips quivered, a simple thing he wanted to utter came out as an incoherent word.

　“Su... Kuna...” Yuuji—albeit doubtedly—entered the room. “What... Why?” asked him in mixture of many emotions—disbelief, shock, anger, and sorrow.

　Yuuji survived his nightmare moments ago. And he did not expect to see this kind of sight inside his kitchen, right after he had an awful dream.

　Yuuji was still trying to grasp what he was seeing when the other figure inside the room turned his back, a wide grin spread across his inked face.

　“Surprised, brat?”

　The deep voice rumbled, filling the queit room, adding to the eerie atmosphere. He took steps closer to the smaller one. Bending his body, his four arms reached out, showing two heads of people Yuuji knew all too well and their mangled limbs—Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara's.

　“Surprised to see your dream—your nightmare—came true, eh?”
