"これが私が自由を提示する方法です..."
  This is the way I present my freedom...

•••

You gasped for breath as your eyes shot wide open, slowly adjusting to your dark surroundings. You quickly sat up, spreading your vectors ina  stance as you took in your environment.

It appeared that you were in the middle of a forest, with the moon shining as bright as ever above you.

You didn't recall running into the woods, only suddenly being hit by something on the head and plunging down into the ocean. Your head hurt even thinking about it, and so you stopped.

Your eyebrows furrowed as you wearily stood up, figure still a little shaken. You were confused. You thought that maybe, you sleepwalked-

Which you never do. You sighed. You took in a deep breath, balancing yourself as you finally managed to stand up properly. Glancing down, you were still naked. Nothing much changed.

All around you were trees. As in, everywhere you turned to look, a tree never left your sight. There wasn't any trail either that could lead you to a place where you could stay.

Trudging forward, you left all your thoughts and just decided to explore this new land of horrors. What a rhyme-
Thoigh ghosts would most likely be more scared of you, you still had that childhood fear of them popping out from behind the trees screaming and then suddenly chasing you.

It felt like hours, just walking through the same scenery over and over, hoping to find something other than logs standing tall at your sides.

Twigs crunched and broke under your feet, resisting the urge to just use your vectors and jump high up like King Kong did to travel faster. You sticked with walking just so you could enjoy this moment of tranquility from successfully escaping the nightmarish hell you were once trapped in.

*rumble*

You halted to a stop. You, were starving. You groaned, knowing damn well that this deadass forest wouldn't even have any animals or berries in them. Well, atleast, that's what you thought until bushes appeared before your very eyes.

Your eyes lightened up in the dark night, twinkling with happiness as you discovered non-poisonous berries stationed in them.

You hummed to yourself in delight, happily taking the berries out of their homes and swallowing them whole.

In the middle of your feast though, you caught a whiff of something off-smelling in the air. Your pupils dilated, remembering this smell as of those rotten bodies. Your head snapped back, now cautious about your surroundings.
The smell, was moving.

It was nearing you, as if also watching you. Slowly by slowly, it closed in on you, until-

*BAM*

You jumped backwards, avoiding a large hand aimed for you. It slammed against the surface of the floor below you filled with dying grass. You thanked Kami for a while there that you were born a Diclonius, enabling you to see in the dark.

Your gaze shifted to the right, eyes widening as a figure you've never seen before came out from the trees. Their eyes were slits, mouth wide and grinning with canines poking out. It had multiple arms, eight to be exact. Four from each sides. It had three horns, comforting you a little knowing that thing also had horns just like you.

You landed back down, feet scraping against the dirt a little before standing back up. You raised an eyebrow up as the thing before you locked eyes with you, licking its lips, saliva dripping down.
