COTE:- What ifs & One-shots

The Honoured One

"Each nanosecond of history branches off into an infinite amount of parallel universes."

I laid back on the bed and closed my eyes. As I prepared to fall asleep, today's events started flashing before me.

"Bye-Bye, Kiyotaka-kun"

Ugh.......

It left a bad taste in my mouth. However what I did was necessary to be done. Me being assertive today was unusual. Though not many pointed out the fact due to the intensity of the situation.

Starting today, the way I am perceived by others is going to change. I wonder.

My original goal of living a peaceful life is far from possible. It's a change, but I am not exactly against it.

Without realising, I had gotten somewhat attached to this place and the people here. My actions may have made people call me heartless, but I still cared for her in my own way.

With that, I slowly started falling asleep.

Lying monsters are a real nuisance:

"What do you mean? I am just a regular high school boy."

They are much more cunning than others.

"I am just above average"

They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart;

"Don't say that. I feel my heart is going to crack"

They study even though they have no interest in academics;

"What else is a high school student supposed to do?"

They seek friendship even though they do not know how to love.

"I'm Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Would you like to be my friend?"

"Huh?"

I unintentionally let out a confused noise as I looked around at my surroundings.

In front of me was a familiar surrounding. One that I hoped I wouldn't see any time soon. Yet, here I am.

How? Why? When? Several questions popped up in my brain and yet none answerable. Calm down. All I have to do is stay calm. More like, that's all I can do right now.

Is this real? Or is this just fantasy? My gaze fluttered here and there as I tried to assess my current situation.

So from what I have observed, I am not exactly in the white room. The bed feels different. As well as the surrounding. Unless of course they changed it while I was out. There's also an empty chair.

There was no logical explanation as to how I could be here. That brings me back to the possibility of this being an illusion.

"No need to be so hasty, keep thinking. I will patiently wait for you to finish"

In an instant, I rolled across the bed and ducked behind it. Opposite to the direction where the sound was from. I had no idea about who the voice came from, but I sensed danger.

"Oh no no, I won't hurt you, don't worry. I just wanted to have a talk with you."

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't find a logical conclusion for what was unfolding before me. Thus......it was safe to say logic will not save me here.
