Miku got hypnotized, and now nothing is the same.

I watched as she fell down to her side after the pendulum was done swinging. Her body went limp. Her eyes had lost their shine, the shine that never failed to give me a sense of hope when nothing else could. She was even more pale than before.

I watched as some strange entity picked up her cold and unmoving body, holding it tightly in its arms as it walked far away from me. I didn't take my eyes off of them until they were completely out of range. I hoped it wasn't going to do anything else to her.

And then it was my turn. The music started up. The pendulum swung in front of my eyes, back and forth, back and forth. I managed to yet again tune out the music, ignoring all those words they so desperately wanted me to listen to. I didn't let my eyes follow the spinning black-and-white spirals.

And it was over. I had successfully survived another cycle again. Though this time, it wasn't as relieving as it used to be. I used to be happy when it was over, grateful that I got to live another day in this hell. Because Miku was here with me.

But now she's gone. Not completely gone, but definitely not the same as before.

For the next few days, I stayed on the red couch in the dressing room, doing absolutely nothing, feeling absolutely nothing. I refused to attend any more shows. That obviously annoyed the Figure, but it didn't seem to do anything about my stubbornness, or care. Which was weird, since I was the only performer it had left, I presumed. Unless it trapped some more unfortunate people here without me knowing or something.

I stared up at the ceiling, pulling harshly at my gloves.

I don't want to be here anymore was the only sentence running through my mind.

I don't want to be here anymore.

But I didn't have a choice. There was nothing I could do to leave. There was nothing I could use to kill myself with, no signs of an exit, nothing. I tugged a strand of my hair.

There was a small knock at the door. I didn't do anything, just kept tugging my hair.

The door opened, and I saw Miku walk in. Her eyes were completely black now, and her tongue was out of her mouth. She looked crazy.

She seemed like she couldn't talk either. She just made weird noises as she walked around the dressing room, looking at everything in fascination, like she hadn't seen it before. I remained still on the couch.

She fell down onto the ground all of a sudden, closed her eyes and started giggling quietly. What the hell is wrong with her? I thought as I stared at the sight with my eyebrows furrowed, pausing the tugging.

For some reason, one of the words that was featured during Quiz Time randomly popped into my head. Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarbo. I tried to figure out what it was, what it meant. Maybe it was some type of chemical? I wondered what it di—

...

Out of the blue, I had an idea.

Maybe that phosphori stuff was in this world somewhere. And if it was a chemical or a drug of some sort, I could use it to...
