"Ngh...." I groaned in agony as a white light began to be seen in my vision along with a pulsing headache. What did I do to feel like this?

The more I rubbed my head, the scenery finally became clear to me. "Oh, I guess I had fallen asleep. I need to work on that." I chuckled lightly at myself and stretched, getting a glimpse of my wrist. "That's odd...no cut marks. I guess they finally went away after a while so that's good news."

Everything felt so 'normal', like nothing in the world no longer felt wrong. There wasn't that crushing weight on my shoulders any more and I was actually happy. As I walked the streets of Shibuya everything was bleak, normally this area would be bursting with color.

Now that I realize this, every person I passed thus far were just faceless people that all looked the same. Drenched in black and white without a face to personalize how they felt, personally I felt that this was how the world should be.

Silent and bleak, it sounded selfish but I don't really care about other people. "If I'm the only one in this world that stands out then I can careless, no one would speak behind my back anymore." A small smile played upon my lips as I looked up at they greying clouds and bland people.

It was all too perfect, I felt safe and secure in this world and no one else could tell me otherwise. Once I thought about this, a previous conversation came up in my mind between the angel and I. He said this isn't how the world should be, that it's filled with distortion and illusions to satiate a simple desire.

Failure in erasure of this would lead to the silent world. "So. Is this what the Silent World is...? It only makes me wonder if the outcome of my actions would lead to this." Once those words rolled off my tongue a large grin came a upon my lips "No Marianne...no more slave work and no more being called a sorry excuse of a daughter. I love it! This is the world I really want...." I started laughing at myself when I was actually in pain. The sorrow was overbearing and the pain of being thrashed around turned into sadistic hostility, this world changed me.

The cruel reality made me with for something like this, I looked forward to nothing in this world at all. I never smiled like I used to until someone took my hand. I turned to see that it was Akechi, smiling like he usually does "You don't actually wish for something like this, do you Y/n...?"

He spoke softly to me as I turned to look up at him, eyes darting toward the ground because telling a lie to someone like him was almost a sin. He was precise, fluent, intellectual, and all things positive.

It made me think that if God is real and if he existed he made purity in its best form, something told me that he would be the one to show me that life isn't all that bad. Knowing all of these things caused my head to spin as they scared me. "What are you thinking about Y/n? You can tell me."

He spoke once more in a soft voice and I felt myself crumble as he looked at me concerned. "You're sad aren't you?" "Extremely. If you even want to call it sadness anymore, it's more like crippling despair."

My voice cracked as I tried to smile while tears fell from my face "It's ok to be sad Y/n." "You don't understand, this is an entirely different type of sad Akechi. This is the feeling of never wanting to wake up ever again.."

Warm arms wrapped around me and held me tightly refusing to let go. "I want you to remember who you once were before this cruel world changed you. You aren't heartless and cold as people make you out to be Y/n. I know that isn't true, but if this is the world you wish for i'll be there for you." "You barely even know me in the real world, I know for a fact you wouldn't say or do any of this."
