Goeunji Shuuya's POV

As I slowly release my control over Masahiro's body from the extreme shock that I just felt from looking at the poster, especially with the guy who had spiked platinum-colored hair. I realized that it was my body and got to the point that I remembered various details of my life from my birth, the moments that I had with my sister, Yuka and the last thing that I remember was when my brown-haired teammate opened a box which was similar to Pandora's Box. Finally, I'm getting somewhere, then, I realized the massacre and lamented on the thought that my sister was caught in that bloodshed, did she survive? Could I have been one of the players who got possessed by a demon and killed billions including my sister? I asked myself those thought-provoking and gut-wrenching questions until I couldn't it anymore and released a stream of tears out of Masahiro's body.

"Gouenji-san, are you the one doing this to me?" he asked as he wiped the tears that are not in-sync with his emotions.

"I'm okay." I told him through the mirror.

"Did you remember something? I'm pretty sure that you do."

"A lot."

"Care to tell me, some of the things that you remembered?"

"I can't."

"Then, can you tell me, why Endou told me that you're somehow like me?"

"Endou? Remembered that?"

"Didn't you?"

"Before going out of the box, I can only remember my name, the names of the people that I was with and the fact that my father wanted me to become a doctor."

"That's random. But, anyways, he told me that you had a sister like I have one. Can you tell me something?"

"My sister was my number one fan when I played on the field, he brought colors to my life and there was never any moment that I can't say that I'm not overprotective over her. She did caught in one of my troubles when she got comatose when someone tried to distract me from a game. I don't think, she's anywhere replaceable. It's the only reason, why I cried because I have no idea what happened to her. I mean, she might be died over the past 100 years especially that I wasn't there to comfort her in all those disarray."

"If I was, in your position, I'm sure that I'll feel the same way with Ryo and Yuka."

"Yuka?" I asked him as I remembered my sister, as well.

"She's my younger sister, she's already 13."

"Now, I get why Endou tasked me to do this. You're just like me, we're just overprotective of our respective siblings."

"You could say that but Ryosei's not my real brother."

"Can I ask another thing?" I asked as I interrupted in his train of memories of Ryosei.

"Yes."

"Do you have anything on the Founders? I'm sure you know all of them."

"It would be my pleasure to give you everything that I know about my heroes.

Let's start with the blue-haired one, he's Scleritas, the one who manages the justice system of the Utopia, he's territory is in the Alcatraz which is a disciplinary jail center. Basically, it was South America.

The one with the dreadlocked hair is Vesania who rules over North America or what is now called, the Research Center. He basically, researches on cures for the remaining diseases of the world.

The third one is the guy with silver hair is Scleritas who reigns over the Frozen Lands or what was once Europe, Russia and Antarctica, basically, he's there as the self-proclaimed "Expert of Fun" which he has proven since he opened a lot of theme parks, made a lot of entertainment possible and preserves several DNA samples of extinct and endangered animals.

The fourth is the guy with the platinum white hair, my most idolized member of the Founders, Praeuro, he may look like, and he's going to burn an entire city and rules over the Fiery Desert or what was once Africa and the Middle East as a mining state. But, he is the one who made it possible that we have homes that we can live in."

"Why him?"

"My favorite? I remembered when I was about three years old. I got lost around the Capital and wondered over Capital Towers, there I met him and he was delighted to see a kid and did fire magic tricks for me, I remember that it was fairly entertaining even though, I couldn't get in touch with him, any longer.

Anyways, the last member of the Founders is their leader, Temoro, he has control over the World Resource Center which was Asia and Australia, he is the leader because people can see that he has the greatest heart since he supplies everyone with free supplies to live in this Utopia and he even has that smile that's really contagious, I mean, his smile is a ball of sunshine, sometimes, Ryo would compare my smile to his smile.

That's pretty much all of them. Any questions?"

"Nothing else. If you may, I want to get back in the box and talk this over with my friends."

"No problem."

He slowly goes into Ryosei's room where Ryosei had slept in a really awkward position and I chuckled internally that he's sleeping position is similar to Endou's sleeping style. Then, I can see that Masahiro had brought up the Pandora's Box near his face and was ready to open it.

"Gouenji-san, if you need to talk about anything, I'm always free."

"Okay." I told him, mentally.

He opened the box and I was forced out of Masahiro's body and inside there, I saw three of my friends' souls, awaiting what they'll do in the dark abyss of the box.
