Devil Division: Genocide Man

Ep.4: Three is a crowd

[December 06, 1986]

A young Daisuke sits with his feet on a desk in his middle school uniform. His foot taps impatiently as he waits in detention...He and the teacher were having a stare-down. Before anything comes of it the bell rings as the boy gets up and walks out past the infirmary walking past three boys badly beaten. He makes a face mocking them before heading out on his way home...His Backpack was stuffed with notes... He walked to a nearby river before sitting reading over them again. For a brief moment, his smile drops...

"Go home Hafu...", "Dirty-skinned boy", "Worm head", "Disgusting foreigner", "You don't belong here", "Die Hafu", " Dark Akuma"...

Daisuke swallows hard before giving a light chuckle at the poor handwriting of his classmates. He begins dropping their notes in the river. After he's done he stands up and takes a deep breath before walking back home. The boy takes a deep breath before kicking open the door as he tosses his backpack to the ground.

Daisuke: Ma! Don't lose your head I'm back...

When Daisuke enters the house he doesn't hear from his mother...The food was cooking on the stove as steam caused the alarm to go off! He walks over to the stove and turns it off.

Daisuke: Ma, is dinner ready?!

*Slash!*

Daisuke: Ma?....

There was a loud noise upstairs Daisuke was hesitant but he started to head toward the source of the noise. He got up to the bathroom and pressing his ear to it he could hear water running...He tried turning the knob, The door was unlocked.

Daisuke: Aye ma? You alright in there?

*Knock! knock!*

Daisuke: Ma! If you don't say nothin' in the next 10 seconds I'm comin' in.

 After no response was given the boy decided to open the door. What Daisuke saw next would scar him for the rest of his life...In the bathtub was his own mother...Her blood was overflowing out of the bath, Daisuke looked horrified as he tried to approach his mother but backed away hearing a splash from in the tub...There was nothing else in there? He looked around noticing a glimmer from the bathroom mirror as it reflected him and his mother's body, a beast made from mirror shards turned to face him in the reflection... This caused the boy's heart to stop as it got out of the tub and started walking closer.

*Crunch! Crunch Crunch Crunch!!...* 

The beast pulls itself from the mirror and hits the floor with another chilling crunch noise! That crunching glass would ring throughout the boy's memories. It stared at him with those shattered glass-patterned eyes. He couldn't move, he couldn't scream, the Devil began to play with its victim as it loosened his tie and popped his collar...With a shard of glass for a finger, it pokes him in the side staining the shirt with blood...The creature was getting bored as the boy wouldn't cry out in pain or beg...He was petrified...It prepared to kill him but then a reflection of a man with a tiger-striped tattoo on his arm reflected in the Devil's left eye.

Mirror Devil: My contractor has decided to spare you, child... Go to sleep with the lights on tonight or I'llll beeee baaaaack....

The Mirror Devil then brushes past him slicing his cheek slowly as it crawls back into the bathroom mirror it stares at him one more time giving an unsettling smile before disappearing...

*Wham!*

In the present Daisuke punches Mirage in the face before slamming him against the wall again even harder! Miss Tsugiyama sits back and watches the events unfold but Aia decides to step up grabbing Daisuke's fist.
