Erased - Satoru x Kayo timeline

A look into the future... or is it?

Hey guys! I know it has been a LOOOOOOOOONG time since I had last updated this, but I finally got past the writers block I have had about how to develop the plot, so I present to you, the next chapter into the mystery of Erased, what it could have been if Satoru had woken up a few years earlier.

v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v

One week passed in a flash, and Satoru had finally gotten fully used to his body and could move around without too much fuss. His mom was going to home school him so he could catch up to the rest of his classmates, but the speed of which he was learning was way faster than she could have hoped.

"Satoru, I think if we keep this pace up, we could get you into school again in four or five months!" She exclaimed as they were both taking a snack break. "I wonder how you were able to get all of this information inside your head so quickly. It's almost like you came back from the future!"

Suddenly, a wave of pain went through Satoru's head, bringing him down to the ground groaning and clutching his head, flashbacks, flashes that didn't happen in the current timeline but his old future timeline. Nothing he could make sense of.

He woke up in his bed, both his mother and Kayo looking at him with concern.

"Maybe we should slow down your learning, it really must be too much for you to handle after all..." He heard his mother say as he drowsily got up. "W...What happened?" Satoru groaned, rubbing his eyes as he slowly sat up.

"You fell over clutching your head and passed out suddenly about 4 hours ago. Do you remember anything that could have made that happen?"

He tried to think back, but his head was still swimming a bit and had to lay back down.

"I... I don't really remember... I had some sort of weird dream, as if I was living my life again, but things were really different..."

His mom sighed.

"The doctors warned me that they had no idea what would happen when you awoke, so I am thankful that it has only been that so far. Are you feeling ill at all? Maybe a headache? We should stop for today. Here, lets take you to the doctor tomorrow to get a checkup."

I am hustled from the couch to my bed and made to lay down in it.

"Mom, I'm fine, really." Satoru complains, the feeling of nausea having already subsided, but to no avail. Laying alone in his bed, he thought back to what he had seen when he was passed out.

That couldn't have been fake, the more I think about the event, the more and more I can remember about it. At least, if it was a dream, I don't think that would happen.

Satoru sat in the darkness deep in thought, his mind swirling with confusion. Kayo walks into the room a bit later to check on him. Finding him still awake, she sits at the edge of the bed, holding a slightly damp towel to put on his forehead.

"Hey Satoru, can't sleep?"

"Yeah."

"Whats wrong? Do you need something to drink?" Kayo tilts her head to the side and moves to get up from the bed.

"No, I'm fine." I shake my head and lay down. "I just had a really weird vision when I passed out. It seemed so vivid and real. Almost as real as now, except in that one I was already older, but you guys weren't in it at all..."

Kayo smiles and kisses Satoru on the forehead before getting back up. "Well, I have dreams sometimes that you wouldn't wake up, but that didn't happen, right? I am sure it is nothing. Go to sleep, okay? I will be going back home to sleep tonight so you can get a good nights rest."

Kayo stands up, but Satoru gently pulls her arm down and sits up to give her a kiss. She blushes in the darkness and smiles, leaving the room with light steps, leaving the door open just a crack.
