Sacred Killers - Akuma no yoru

Shadow of Death I: Suffering

Tokyo Japan - Inside a locked room

Maki Kimari was locked inside his room with both of his parents desperately trying to break through. Maki could be seen with a long knife, hands shaking, hyperventilating, not knowing what to do, his actions and thoughts being influenced by a familiar but unsettling presence.

[Sai] ...do it.

[Mak] *breathing rapidly* W-why...

[Mujin] *worried* Maki! Open the door! What are you doing in there!

[Hima] No..no...no...no...no! Mujin! Do something!

Sai could be seen standing behind Maki with his hand on his shoulder, whispering into his ear.

[Sai] ...there is nothing you can do to make up for your actions. You will continue to suffer...so end it...

[Maki] *panicking* N-no...Stop...why do you keep doing this? Please...just stop! Don't make me do this!

[Sai] ...I already told you before...this is real, or do I have to show you again?

[Maki] *sobbing* No...just stop it! I can't do this anymore!

[Sai] Then do it...You got us all fucking killed anyway...Especially Miyuro...he didn't deserve it. How the hell did you survive! Why did WE have to die!

Flashback - a while ago

Maki was dressed up in a suit, standing in front of a memorial of Miyuro and Sai. Their crystal clear images could be resting in frames along with candles and flowers.

[Maki] *sobbing* Why...

Maki burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably as he couldn't compose himself. Creeping up on him like a hand from his own shadow, someone clutched onto his shoulder.

[Sai] Wipe off those tears...save them we don't want them.

[Maki] Sai...please...I really didn't mean for all of this to happen. You know that...why do you keep tormenting me...I loved you guys.

[Sai] You really believe we're just...gone? Yet I'm standing here...

[Maki] You're not real...why...why isn't the medication working.

[Sai] You think those pills are going to stop me from showing up? You were just praying we'd go someday weren't you? Get a grip Maki, the second that we got into danger that night you weren't worried about anyone but yourself. You were more worried about that stupid fucking sword...

[Maki] T-that's not true...Sai...come on.

[Sai] If you're really sorry, how about you join us? Tell Miyuro you're sorry, because I'll never forgive you.

End of Flashback - Present

[Sai] *enraged* *laughing* Your head didn't get cut off, you got off easy. You survived, we didn't even get the chance. Imagine how that feels? Everyone, your family, your other friends, they all get to see you for another day. What about us? No one will hear from us...our families are stuck mourning us never to see us again, others forgot about us, yet you get to live life. Go to HELL Maki Kimari...Just die already.

[Maki] *sobbing* This isn't you...you were never like this...You're not Sai!

[Sai] Then who am I? Wake up Maki, I am here right now!

[Mujin] *stressed* Shit! What the hell does he have behind the door!
[Hima] *panicking* Maki! Why are you doing this! We love you! Stop this!

Behind the door was Maki's dresser along with a bunch of objects.
