<< NOW PLAYING: STUCK ON THE PUZZLE - ALEX TURNER >>

When I wake up, I feel oddly warm.

It's pretty clear that I missed the beginning of school. I can see it because of the sun's position in the sky. Should be at least... eleven now?

Looking down, I notice the reason for the sudden feeling of warmth.

Y/N.

Why is she here? How'd she get here? No. Nonono. I can't be near her. I'll hurt her again. Just like last time. I don't wanna be like her dad.

But as I move to remove my arms from her, her hand grabs mine. "Hey, Mui."

Wait, what is she wearing? What am I wearing?

Looking down at my attire, I furrow my brows. I'm in some sort of uniform that doesn't fit me well. At all. Y/N seems to be wearing the same type of uniform, except she has a pleated skirt instead of pants. "What am I wearing?"

"Did you hit your head? That's your demon slayer uniform, dumbass." Demon slayer? What the fuck?

"Demons... what?" Where the fuck am I? "Did you hit your head? Demons are a legend from the Taisho period."

Y/N laughs. "Good one."

But the background around me changes. I'm in some sort of castle looking thing?

Where the fuck am I? Is that my grandpa?

"Michikatsu?" I'm holding some sort of sword. No, this isn't my great grandpa. My great grandpa doesn't have six fucking eyes coming out of his head and that big ass forehead. "What happened to you?!"

"Your name... what was it?" He asks me.

I can't even move. I'm literally frozen right now. "Tokito... Muichiro."

"Alright, I see..." He huns. "The 'Tsugikuni' name has died out then..."

"Tsugikuni?" Isn't that their last name right now? Am I tripping? "What the fuck happened to you? How did you get six eyes coming out of your head?!"

But he gives me this blank look. This isn't my great grandpa. It's as if my body moves on instinct, like I've done it a million times. What the actual fuck is going on?

"Breath of mist, second form: Layered Mist." What. The. Fuck. Is. Going. On?

But my setting changes again. Somehow. It's like the world is shifting around me.

Y/N's helping me bandage my hand as Genya sits beside her. Did I lose my hand?! Why am I bleeding so much? This shit hurts like hell.

And then it changes, again and again. Like little fragments of my memory.

Until I see it.

Y/N getting slashed in the heart by the demon and falling limp to the floor.
