Chapter 31

"Ugh..."

He wakes up and the first thing he sees is the blurry ground. His ears were ringing and he blinks repeatedly. He recalls everything that happened last night as he slowly lifts himself from the bathroom floor.

The headache remains intact causing him to hold his head again. It's not as intense as last night causing him to feel relief.

Sizzle Sizzle

"U-Ugh..." The sound of static remained and his vision also became static.

Sizzle Sizzle

He grabs onto one of the faucets and shakily turns on the water by twisting one of the knobs. He splashed himself with water as the cold temperature instantly shot him wide awake. He stares down as he looks at the running water alongside his hands. Slowly he lifted his left hand and stared at it—

SIZZLEEEEEEEE

BANG

He flinched and took a step back as the vision of him holding a gun and aiming it at the side of his head consumed him, followed up by a loud bang.

He stared at his reflection in the mirror and saw his hair which drips with a bit of water from his splashing. He saw himself wearing a lab coat with a frown reflecting his very own. He blinked and his reflection was back to normal.

"..."

Despite his shock, horror, confusion, and the overall mixture of thoughts... He felt his stomach drop and his eyes stared deep into his reflection. He feels a frown creeping up on his face.

"I just mean... Is it really... Worth it...? Having F/N... Remember how he dies and everything else?"

Mobius words rang through his mind as he closes his eyes with strain. If those words were true...

How is any of this possible?

"..."

He pulled a few strands of hair out from all the stress he feels.

"Captain."

"Ah, Bianka." The Captain greeted Durandal who blinked with surprise.

"What are you doing up so early?" That was her first thought as she saw the man wearing a black shirt and grey sweatpants. She saw as his cross dangled around his chest. She blushed a bit at his appearance mostly due to his wet hair. "You already showered." She said.

"Yeah. Figured I might as well since I woke up early." The Captain replied as he sipped his coffee while his eyes twitched slightly. He noticed his girlfriend's gaze staring right at his exposed arms and he couldn't help but smile. He's not overly muscular, but he does have a bit of muscle to at least be considered fit. "You know, this body just isn't for you right? Save the staring for everyone else." He winked causing Durandal to snap out of her fantasy and reddened.

"I-I have no idea what you mean!"

"No shame in starring. Besides, we're together aren't we?" The Captain smiled as he couldn't help but chuckle a bit at Durandal. He then took another sip of his coffee calmly. "Hey, Bianka."

"H-Huh?! Are you gonna say another embarrassing thing?!" Durandal spoke with a defensive tone this time. The Captain blinked at her attitude. He didn't expect her to get like this from a bit of teasing.

"Not at all. I wanted to ask you something important."

"What is it?"

And she's back to normal so quickly...
