I could see myself in an unfamiliar scenery, and Yuno Kasugano was also there.

Unlike the explosions and screaming just moments before, I could only hear the chirping of birds here. Though the room I was in was definitely not luxurious by any standard, it still seemed neatly organized.

The Kiyoung in this scene didn't seem capable enough to move his body. I felt like I had seen this room before.

When Yuno Kasugano let me see through her memories, I had also been lying in this room.

It seemed like she had made me stay here for the whole duration of my recovery. I didn't know how much time had rolled by since I passed out, but what I could tell was that the black world definitely didn't look normal.

Though I couldn't move my body for half of it was broken, I could see the intensity of the attacks that Deokgu had blocked for my sake. It was a miracle that I could even survive the attack. If Yuno Kasugano had not found me, I would have eventually died.

Upon closer detail, I realized that I couldn't even move a single finger. Only my consciousness remained.

Eventually, the door opened, and Yuno Kasugano came in and approached me.

'Poor person.'

'...'

'What a pitiful person.'

Yuno Kasugano looked a little more mature than she was now. Since two years had passed, her hair was a little longer, and the atmosphere itself felt a little calmer.

'I know you must have a lot of questions. I can't answer them, but for now, I think it would be better for you to focus on your recovery.'

'...'

'Ah, it turns out that I still haven't introduced myself. My name is Yuno Kasugano. I think you've probably heard of it at least once, although I don't think my reputation is a good thing...'

'...'

'Yes, you probably know me. I'll eventually tell you why I brought you here. Though I can't guarantee that your body will recover, I know that if you harbor the will, you'll be able to do normal activities.'

'...'

'It seems like I've been talking too much.'

'...'

'I'll be heading back now, but I'll see you tomorrow.'

The Kiyoung in the scene didn't even register Yuno Kasugano heading back out. My gaze had been fixed on the ceiling, so I probably hadn't even seen her face.

However, as I watched him, it seemed as if the Kiyoung in this timeline was thinking about made me realize something.

Park Deokgu was dead.

This was probably the entire reason why I looked so upset here. It was uncomfortable seeing myself cry continuously without either moving or not making a sound.

Anyone could see that this was a tragic scene. I probably was a little more emotional in the first timeline than I was now.

Honestly, I had to admit that I felt shaken just by seeing this scenario.

The tears running down the black world Kiyoung's face didn't stop, yet I continued to watch her.

After a moment, the scene fast-forwarded a few days, depicting Yuno Kasugano looking for me to check on me once more.

I couldn't tell why she was being so kind to me, but it appeared that what she felt was more complex than it appeared on the surface.

In the black world, she probably knew that she and I would be together in the future. Taking this into consideration, then I could see why she was so dedicated to me. Her sympathy for me went beyond words, and she probably wondered if she would be able to change me in the black world.
