"...Venti...wake up...."

"Ugh, I told you...you knocked him out so hard that he's not even awake after like what...a day?"

"J-Jeez relax lady...it was self defence! He leapt straight onto me when I was hugging Aet-"

"O-Oh he's waking up...um, would you mind leaving the room for this as it may cause an outbreak."

"Sure...if I have to..."

A door was heard opening and the footsteps of one went quieter the longer they went on, until the door shut completely. Now, it was only me and someone else in the room. What could I be here for and...why?

Why was the question I have repeatedly asked myself since I woke up. I need an answer...and fast.

"Venti, can you raise your head for me?" A strict lady's voice was heard in front of me, she sounded stern and rude in her request for me to sit up. Still, I did so to avoid any unnecessary harm to me.

"Jean...what an appearance, how are *cough* you?" I asked her in a slow, hurtful voice with a grin on my bloody face. "You show signs of extreme tiredness, but yet you're still coming out with all this attitude...what's causing it?"

She avoided my question by asking about my status and how unwell I was looking. "I...don't know actually...it just happened one day and now...now I feel like I'm unstoppable...well, I felt like I was."

"I don't like the fact that it was you behind these murders, but I guess even the most innocent can be the most dangerous." I looked at her eyes will anger and began speaking in a deep tone. "Hm...what the hell is it that you want from me?"

Jean sat back in her chair, leaned down to pick up a case, opened it up and showed it to me. I looked around it first and then realised that it was everyone that I had murdered that loved...him.

"I want to know why you killed these people. Why you decided to take these innocent lives." She took the pictures of every victim and laid them out onto the table in front of me. "Which one should we start with? The easiest victim for you to kill or...the hardest one to murder?"

I looked at the photo's closely then back at her with disgust. "What's the point in telling you all this if you're just gonna kill me in the end?" Jean looked at her fingernails then back at me with a small smile on her face.

"It's just a confirmation that I have to do with you before we go through with it." I scoffed at her response and looked back at the photo's again. "Look, if you just want to end it here. We'll end it here, otherwise...explain to me each and every victim's death, right from the beginning." 

Slowly turning my head to her again, I sighed and spoke out quietly. "F-Fine I guess...I'll do this even though I'll just die in the end. Not like it matters anyway..." Jean sat up straight and starting pointing at the photo's. "Okay, which one would you like to start with first?"

"Well you said easiest to hardest, right Jean?" She nodded to my response. "How about we start with...her then, the most innocent one first." I kept my finger high for a moment before finally landing it on a photo, my first Victim.

"My First Victim. Kamisato Ayaka."
