Third Person
Sa headquarters ng Hope Foundation, kitang-kita nila Eroll ang execution ni Rinrin. Napayukom siya ng kamao habang patuloy na nasasaksihan ang lahat-lahat.
“I failed..”,naiinis na sambit ni Eroll at hinampas nang napakalakas ang lamesa,“Shit.”
“Condolence..”,bulong ni Venom at napaiwas ng tingin,“I've heard that the government tried everything but it was no use..”
“Gan'yan naman ang mga 'yan!”,sigaw ni Eroll,“And that Kuro had deceived Rinrin at all! Alam ba niya ang balitang nakuha natin?”
Napailing sila habang tinitignan ang isang video na nagpapakita na patay na ang mga kamag-anak ng mga tagaClass 69 bukod sa isang taong duguan habang nakatingin sa camera nang nakakaloko.
“Ano kaya ang magiging reaksyon ni Rinrin kung nakita niya ito?”,tanong ni Eroll at napailing,“We have no choice but to watch the whole game..”
“We can't do anything on saving them anyway..”,bulong ni Cypher,“Even though we tried to kill other people for the sake of freedom.. this is way different. Hindi normal na tao ang kinakalaban natin ngayon..”
“I can't believe that these things exist”,saad ni John Paul na nakatingin sa laptop nito,“It says that Madness was officially made as a cult before but after they witnessed the power of the atavists, they started on infiltrating everyone.”
Napatingin si Eroll sa wallpaper niya at napabuntong hininga,“Aura, please be safe..”
Habang sa Hope Academy, rinig ang katahimikan ng magkakaklase pagtapos ng execution ni Rinrin. Hindi sila makapaniwala sa nangyayari at sinisisi nila ang sarili nila dahil sa nangyari..
“Rinrin..”,bulong ni Neon na napatungo,“This can't be happening. No!”
“She kept on telling us that if she dies, we'll feel despair. Guess that she's right.”,saad ni Blade na hindi na ngumingiti,“That brat is our daily dose of happy pill..”
Tinignan ni Neon si Calix nang matalim,“This is all your fault! If you didn't left your bestfriend for that princess! Y-You drove her to despair!”
“I-I'm sorry! I'm just doing m-my job! I d..didn't abandoned her at all!”,saad ni Calix.
“You left her!”,halos pumiyok na si Neon sa pagsigaw.
Hindi na napigilan ni Neon ang emosyon nito at naiyak na nang napakalakas, halos humagulgol na ito habang naiyak na rin si Calix, Kira at Candy. Tahimik lang sa isang tabi sila Valkyrie at Blade. Mistulang si Cherubim lang ang natutuwa sa pagkamatay ni Rinrin na nakangisi na mistulang nagtagumpay.
“How are you feeling?! The video's despairful as usual.”,saad ni Kuro,“Too bad, my favorite one died. The game's not that thrilling anymore.”
“Are you happy now? All of us are sad and lonely, hope that you're okay with this.”,malamig na utas ni Kira na inaalalayan ang walang malay na si Rion papunta sa clinic.
Naiwan naman si Kuro na kasama ang mastermind na walang tigil ang pag-iyak pero unti-unti na itong tumatawa na parang natutuwa sa nangyayari.
