Title: Towards the end

Atsushi was awakened by the faded presence beside his lone body, his hand aimlessly searching for his daughter's body, while his eyes closed shut. He misses that small body of her daughter, small radiant body that will make his mouth smile for eternity.

With a grunt and small growl as his hand could only catch the presence of cold breeze, his eyebrows knitted while his lips tugging downwards, slowly and gently he opens his eyelids and embraces him by the darkness and a small dim of light from the LCD monitor that is far from his position.

His pupil grows bigger and adjusts to his surroundings enable him to see his environment. The room was humid and compact with the silent coldness that shivers his spine to the bone. sleepiness still in his system; he is tired and mostly exhausted with the payload.  His eyes look at the LCD monitor to the small cave's stairs and to the portal and his gaze averted to the bathroom path.

With a late realisation, he stares the portal for as long as he could remember to breathe.

His heart stops beating,  the lung malfunction, his movement froze and his brain leads to one of the theory and he did not like it one bit.

Without him realise, his feet move, reaching to the portal door that broken, the metal is torn apart from each other, his voice hitch, his breathing irregular and his eyes fixed. His ears caught the screeching sound produced by the monitors as it shows the small black and white waves.

He tries to calm himself and his bare feet hit the cold pavement of the cave's stone as he reaches to the bathroom path, he is running wildly.

As he stood, in front of the bathroom, he is greeted by the open wide door that is empty by a human, only stood coldly is the bowl. His heart could not take the intensity of the silent and the situation, his eyes avert every spot of a hidden place. Any place.

He is confused and mentally ill by the sudden situation. No. He is scared. As he slowly reaches to his bed place, a small piece of paper fall on the floor,  slowly yet steadily, his shaky hand reach the paper, for one final blow, he swallows his saliva, take a deep breath and read it.

' She's mine '

The words itself send him to shiver, his nightmare has begun, greeting him, cutting the string of his own weight,  toying him, no, torment him to his lost. His theory proven to be 100% correct.

' Please tell me this is a dream, a nightmare where I am trapped here without her... please...' he pleads to nobody

Why does a depair presence as the hope come? Why? Why ruin his family happiness? Why? Why is the victim is her? Her roleplay for her stage life is abuse and death. Is she so sinful to be alive, while she was supposed to be dead?

His leg walks to the broken portal, kneeling down, begging to nobody, his eyes damn with the broken dam of tears, slowly he whip holding his holo heart that aching with pain.

Atsushi's cries disturb Ichi's sleep, grumping with his low sexy voice as he caught the voice that echoing with sullenness. He opens his eyes, trying to catching the owner of the boisterous cries. His eyes caught a body that kneeling in front of the portal, shaking, Ichi's eyes burst wide, as he caught the conditions of the portal.

'care to explain to me?', with a half yell half whisper, Ichi grab Atsushi collar and looked at him.Ichi seems to be taken back when atsushi eyes are sparkles and brimming with tears. He turns his face and tossed ichi hand.
