Your heart raced as Takumi's voice echoed through the corridor, his timid tone now layered with an unfamiliar assertiveness. Yet, you couldn't bring yourself to respond, consumed by a whirlwind of fear and anger.
"How dare you guys come all the way here to torment me," you accused, your finger pointed accusingly at both Takumi and Kazuto.
Kazuto immediately dropped to his knees before you, his hand gently massaging your thighs as he spoke with a lazy grin. "I knew you would come back," he remarked confidently.
"Come back?" You scoffed, incredulous. "I am never coming back after the stunt Subaru pulled. Never."
Both males fell silent, the shy one on the brink of tears while Kazuto merely tilted his head, assessing you with an unsettling intensity. The silence did not bring you comfort but fear. Fear of their next move.
"Y/n, my treasure," Kazuto began slowly, his voice barely above a whisper. "You shouldn't play dirty games like that."
The irony wasn't lost on you. He, the one who orchestrated the invasion of your privacy, now lecturing you about playing games. It was infuriating.
"What would you know, Kazuto? You are the one who is playing with my life as if it's a game. Get the hell away from me," you retorted, pushing against his shoulder, but he remained steadfast, his gaze fixed on yours. Like a hawk.
"Why are you back in town? Why did you come to the hospital Subaru's family owns?" Takumi's voice quivered, desperation evident in his tone. He wanted to believe you were returning to him.
Your eyes widened in realization. You hadn't known this was one of Subaru's hospitals. You needed to get your cousins out of here, to safety.
"I have to go," you whispered urgently, attempting to rise, but Kazuto's grip on your thighs tightened, refusing to let you leave.
"Where?" His voice chilled you to the bone, the calmness of his tone sending a shiver down your spine.
"Home," you murmured, your fear intensifying with each passing moment.
"I am your home, Y/n. Come home with me," Kazuto declared, his smile sending a wave of unease through you. "Come home, my treasure."
"No, the—"
Bang
A gunshot rang out, piercing the air. Your screams echoed through the corridor as you watched in horror as a nurse collapsed, her life taken without remorse by Kazuto's hand.
"Sit," Kazuto commanded, his voice eerily calm, and you obeyed, shaken to your core.
Bang
You tried to speak out against him, but another shot silenced you, this time claiming the life of an elderly woman. Kazuto aimed his sniper at a child, and you recoiled in horror, unable to comprehend the nightmare unfolding before you.
As the guards swarmed the doors, blocking any chance of escape, you felt paralyzed with fear, tears streaming down your face as you realized the depth of Kazuto's depravity.
"My treasure," Kazuto spoke, his voice sending chills down your spine. "Since you love games so much, I will play one with you. For each minute past 6 pm tomorrow, a person you love dies."
