Chapter 5: Nona Hora

How to fall again...and again...and again...and again...

[SOME TRIGGER WARNINGS IN THIS]

Daichi stared at 3am for a moment before dashing down the stairs as fast as he could without making the stitch in his side worse.

"No...It's happening again...No...No..." 3am muttered, their hands trembling as they looked up at Daichi fearfully.

"3am? 3am, is that really you?" Daichi called, jogging down the last few stairs and running to the Dream Catcher's side.

"Please go away - I don't want you to see me like this...I can't hurt you again, Limit..." 3am said, turning away from Daichi.

"3am? What are you talking about? You've never hurt me..." Daichi replied, reaching for the Dream Catcher. Urgency crept into his voice as he continued speaking. "There's something happening right now - I don't understand but we need to get you help. 12am is -"

Just as Daichi's fingers brushed against 3am's cloak, his wrist was grabbed. 3am spun around, a sadistic look on their face as they squeezed Daichi's wrist tighter. A cracking sound emitted from 3am as they pulled Daichi towards them, their other hand snaking around Daichi's back.

Daichi blinked in horror, 3am gasping as they regained control of their mind. 

"Run away...Please... I-I can't control...myself..." 3am muttered, a coughing fit racking their body.

"3am! There's nowhere else for me to go! Your watch is in danger! You're-" Daichi exclaimed desperately as 3am grabbed him by the shoulders. "3am?!"

"No! Limit! Please...!" 3am shouted, tears streaming out of their hazel eyes, groaning when the nightmare took over. 

(Time Master A/N: ...they tried to warn you, Limit...)

"3am?! What are you doing?!" Daichi shouted as 3am neared, their arrows trapping Daichi in their cage. "3am! Stop! This isn't you!"

3am didn't say anything, a silvery mist leaving their mouth and entering Daichi's. 

"...3am..." Daichi started to say before words invading his mind, his mind emptying in horror.

'I'm alone'

'Medicine will make you better'

'Why can't I do anything I love'

'No, Daichi. Take your medicine'

'Only average'

'I'm scared'

[Tik tik tok]

A younger Daichi was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in reading a magazine about ghost sightings.

"Daichi, put that away. You know your father doesn't like it when you read these things."  His mother said, taking the book away.

"I'm sorry, Momma." Daichi muttered.

Daichi was now standing at the door of his dark bedroom, his mother standing infront of him, blocking the doorway. The paranormal magazines lay in a trash can, ripped into unrecognisable shreds.

"I told you to stop reading those paranormal magazines. They're not normal." His mother said, looking down at Daichi with disgust.

"I'm sorry, Momma." He whimpered, looking up at his mother.
