Negativity of the white void

Chapter 4 : The princess has fallen

(At the yokai hospital)

Nurse : Doctor, the search of the home was successful. We were able to talk to the family and they left us a notebook of the patient. All the elements confirm that she suffers of severe depression and alcohol addiction. In case the tests didn't make it clear enough...

Yutaka Yuji : Thank you very much, i'll take a look at it in my office. Anything else ?

Nurse: The writing is quite erratic and she didn't even take the time to mark the dates. It is obvious that this notebook served her above all as an outlet. I don't know exactly what happened but according to the parents and the brother, someone very important to her disappeared and it drove her insane.

Yutaka Yuji : This tends to confirm my worst fears. Physically, miss Gremory will recover, but her mental state is very serious, i will inform the hospital's psychiatrist. Holy crap i really find it hard to believe that this is really THE Rias Gremory.

Nurse : Hard to believe someone like her has fallen that low huh ? I guess even the greatest can collapse when they are shot straight to the heart. She also mentions something called "the white void". I don't know what it is, but it seems to have hurt her badly.

Yutaka Yuji :I'm as clueless as you on this. All we know is that we heave a patient in an extremely alarming mental state and who refuses to explain to us why.

Nurse : She mentions a guy name Issei, do you think it could be Hyoudou Issei ?

Yutaka Yuji : It could be, but i am doubtful. If the Oppaidragon was missing, we would know it because it would be all over the news, right ?

Nurse : The patient's family remained very evasive about this. They didn't really answered when asked who this « Issei » is and what he means to Miss Gremory.

Yutaka Yuji : Do you think they heave something to hide ?

Nurse : It sounded like they where trying to resolve a problem discreetly.

Yutaka Yuji :Hyoudou Issei is one of the most beloved public figures in the underworld, if he where reported missing, that would cause a big scandal. People would surely start looking for someone to blame.

Nurse : The notebook truely make it sound like Rias was at least partly responsible. She sounds extremely sad but also but also madly furious at herself.

Yutaka Yuji :Yeah, it make sense. If Issei Hyoudou really disappears and he is never found, that Rias has something to reproach herself for it and it all becomes known, people will never forgive her. She will become the scapegoat.

Nurse : I don't know what to do with this informations to be honest.

Yutaka Yuji : I know someone who can help. I'm going to make a few calls. I'm going to lock myself in my office for greater discretion. Don't let anyone disturb me before i get out.

Just another sadly normal day.

I think i need a glass of alcohol. I've never been into substances, but i really need something to numb the pain because effexor doesn't work. I sleep very badly. It's hard to fall asleep and when i do, i heave these nightmares. I can't even find the words to express how much i hate myself for what i've done. I drank one bottle of whiskey tonight.

Didn't really sleep last night. Slept for like two hours and woke up screaming and crying.
