Kagura was hugging a doll with bandages covering one eye. It reminded me of Dazai back in the Port Mafia days.

" 'Samu always makes me happy, Kuma-kun, I don't know how much my heart can take.." She said, hugging it.

'Samu? She calls him the same way I call him?

"Kagura-sama, your tea is ready." A maid bows.
"Oh, thank you. Just leave it at my bedside." She answers.
"That bear looks rather cute, Kagura-sama. Who gave it to you?" The maid asks.

The maid's voice reminds me of that gentle voice I heard during my first dream, at the lab. She seems very close to her.

" 'Samu gave it to me, Rika-san." Kagura smiles. "He thought I would be lonely, so he gave me this."
"That man sure is very kind to you, Kagura-sama. Isn't he your target?" The maid asks.

"Yes, he is. But.."
"But?"
"Will you promise not to tell anybody about this, me abandoning the mission, and all that?" Kagura looks at her directly in the eyes.
"I promise, Kagura-sama. Creator gave you a soundproof room with no cameras. Feel free to blame me when the word spreads."

"I feel attached to him. He knows me, and I know him. Even our blood-stained lives, the amount of lives we ruined. He makes me feel at home."

"Whenever I'm with him, I feel free. I can say whatever I want, do whatever i want, without the fear of getting judged. Then there's this fluttering in my stomach, and I get so caught in the moment that I forget how to breathe."

"Rika-san, what is this feeling?" She asks the maid.

"It's called love, Kagura-sama." Rika smiles. "It's the strongest power, but it's hard to manipulate. It feels great, isn't it, Kagura-sama?"

"If love feels like this, I don't know whether I like it or dislike it." Kagura pouts.

"That's part of the fun, Kagura-sama." Rika chuckles.

Then suddenly, the scene changed.

Kagura was hugging Kuma-kun, reading The Life of a Stupid Man.

(A/N: Guess who the author is! He's a Bungou Stray Dogs Character as well!)

I heard small noises from outside. I looked over at the balcony, and saw Osamu, holding on to the balcony railings.

She noticed it too, at sprinted towards the balcony doors, swinging it open.

" 'Samu, you idiot! You better be happy no curtains are open now!" She whispered.
" Hmm? I thought you'd be interested to see the city lights~"

The scene changed again.
Holy shit, this dream feels like I watching Bollywood.

Sorry Bollywood, I swear, this is just a joke, I ain't dissing you because of T-Series.

Kagura was crouched down, covering her ears. She looked frantic, and Rika had no idea on how to calm her down.

"What..did..he...inject me..?" She said in a shaking voice.
"Kagura-sama! Please, stay calm. Don't think irrationally.. he's manipulating you!" Rika warns.

"He wants you to forget about your friendship with Dazai so you can kill him!" She said.
"He lied about giving you the Mafia, he's manipulating you, Kagura-sama, he's destroying you!"

" 'Samu left me, he didn't talk to me anymore, he forgot about me, he forgot our promise." Kagura mumbled under breath.

"Please, wake up, Kagura-sama!" Rika shakes her master frantically.
"He betrayed me. There is no reason for me to spare him." Kagura said in a cold tone.
