The Dusk Paradigm: It's only the beginning? (Prologue)

Kagamine Rin and Len were sitting on the cushion seat of the windowsill. The two both played chess for as long as desired.

"Hey, it's my turn." said Rin. She put her Bringer of Light chess peice down. Len smirked. "My go." he said. He put the Bringer of Love down. He got another turn, because the Bringer of Love is a special peice. Rin broke a sweat. She knew Len was up to something. She was correct.

Just then, Len put the chess peice, "Eros" down. At Rin's turn, she put the "Psyche" peice down. "Psyche and Eros are a happy couple who will love eachother no matter what." The female Kagamine said. Len smirked again. "Rin," he said, "You're so naive."

During Spring of 1994, Henry was standing on the veranda, looking at the clear blue sky and fresh green grass. He closed his eyes and thought about himself. He took a few deep breaths and smiled. However, only to be interrupted, Henry's wife, Yuna, startled him by jumping and clinging onto him.

"Heya, dear!" Yuna smiled. "Woah, you scared me there Yuna," The man replied, "You must've slept good."

Yuna laughed. "Yea, I slept pretty good! Anyhow, I have some news for you! Lets go inside!" "Oh, uh, alright." Henry replied, nervous. The couple walked inside, and Yuna sat her husband down. "Henry, I have a suprise." "What is it?" Henry nervously questioned. Yuna pulled something from behind her back.

"I'm pregnant." Yuna smiled. Henry covered his mouth, with tears in his eyes. He jumped up and hugged Yuna. "Oh my God!" he cried. He picked her up and spun her around.

Now you see, they were rather worried too because Yuna had a history of fertility issues. The most they could do is hope and pray, since they already experienced a miscarriage.

A couple days passed by, and Henry was sitting on the couch, thinking. A rainbow baby? What if it doesn't make it?

Speaking of which, a happy Yuna walked outside leaned on the front tree, watching Henry under it. "I wonder what the sex will be," she started, "I really hope it's a girl. We can have another girl!" "Yea, I'd like that." Henry got up and kissed Yuna on the forehead.

Henry and Yuna both did want a girl. They wanted to have another girl in honor of the loss. Of course, it was scary to know this baby could die too. However, they thought it'd be alright.

-
Months had passed.

Yuna was excited because today was the day they could find out the sex of the gremlin. She was in the living room reading an article, then Henry walked in. "So," he started, "You excited for the reveal?"

Yuna nodded. "I wonder what it'll be. If its a boy, would you still love him the same?" she asked. "Of course I would." Henry answered. Yuna smiled and walked up to her husband. She pecked him on his soft lips. "Welp, I guess it's time. Get your shoes on. We're finding out..."

"Henry? Henry!" said Yuna, trying to get his attention. He snapped out of it and looked at her "Ah, sorry." He apologized. He shook his head and smiled. Then and there, the couple walked out the door.

-
Henry and Yuna were stunned. Looking at the screen, they both held their hands tight. Dr. Stevenson was happy to announce the  child was a boy.

Yuna didn't care, even though Henry did  want a girl. He was grateful nonetheless, since gender wasn't his biggest worry.

"Oh my goodness, a boy!" she smiled. She clapped her hands in excitment, and turned to Henry, who was staring at the screen in awe. "I'll raise him on all my music." he said.

-
Moving on back at the house, Henry said, "Don't name him after me. Maybe something else like...Ezra?" Yuna's eyes lit up. "Ezra? I love that name! But as a first name...? Darling, what about a Japanese first name and an English middle name?" she asked. "Why would we give him a Japanese name? Because you're Japanese? This is England." Henry said, confused. "That's what'll make him unique. After all, your last name is Japanese." said Yuna. He nodded.

Yuna paused and sat down with her husband. "He is due by winter. I kind of want a name thats strong for him." Henry said, "My Japanese is rusty. Let's see....Fukawa?" "Fukawa? Yeah, no." she complained.

Yuna thought for a minute. She shook her head. "A name of strength." she thought. She snapped her fingers as if a lightbulb comically appeared above her head.

"Fukase." she said. "Fukase?" Henry repeated. Yuna said, "Fukase! It's like a word for strength or strengthen."

Henry stared at her. "So, Fukase Ezra Satoshi?" he said. Yuna nodded. "Yeah, I like that."

-
His room was a cold, almost white baby blue color. There were a small cresent moon painted by Henry on his closet door with stars and whatnot. It was perfect. Everything was perfect.

-
The next day, Henry woke up to a panicking Yuna. She was shocked it was so sudden. Henry ran in the bathroom and saw her water broke.

So one to one, all hell broke loose. Get it? Corny, we know.

As Kagamine Len put the chess piece down, he giggled. “Len, your humor is shit.” said Rin, pinching the bridge of her nose.
