Shuuya Ayano alone

(Ayano's dialogues and actions are played by Asami Kamiko UwU)

The end was inevitable, there was no denying it. There was no telling when Kuroha would strike next. The snake that resided within him had constantly reminded him about it. Usually, he would try to drown out the thoughts by having a night stroll, sometimes getting into trouble but this time... he had decided to spend more time with his dear sister that he seemingly adored so much. After all, who knew when she was going to disappear like the rest? Then he'd be truly on his own. Just him and his snake.

He knocks on her room door. "Ayano? Can we sleep together like we used to? Just for tonight?" A child's voice ask. He had used his deceiving eye ability to be kid Kano again. Perhaps it was to slightly recreate the scene it was back then. "Eh? Um..Sure." The kind girl would reply as she turned on her heel to face the door, her hands behind her back. It was 12:00 am. It would seem that she had trouble sleeping too with the constant worrying. She was the eldest. Shuuya's big sister. She felt like she had to protect Shuuya no matter how much sleep she'd have to sacrifice. Too bad she couldn't protect the others. Just like how she couldn't protect her soon to be classmates.

Shuuya opens the door and came in, frowning. It was the first time in a long time that he didn't mask his expression. "Did I wake you?" The usual playfulness that was in his voice was gone. "No, you didn't." The girl would reply. "So you couldn't get any sleep either... I wish my power was stronger. So I can recreate the illusion of Seto and Kido being here. Maybe we would feel a little better then." He faced his palm, laughing a little. It was his way of coping.

"But I'm here, Shuuya." Ayano hugged the small boy and smiled. She haven't changed one bit, has she? "I'm not so sure..." He averts his eyes away. "Since I've been deceiving myself all my life, I'm not sure if you're real or if I'm tricking myself into thinking you're alive. Maybe you were the first one to die again and the years of grief made it seem like you're here..." the dirty blonde says, gazing at the floor.

She sighed and looks at him. "I know it's hard for you shuuya but you need to be strong whether if I'm already dead all you need to know is that, I'm here by your side.." "It's probably harder on you than it is for me" Shuuya says. "It's painful." Ayano said. He hugs her. "Seto, Kido and I only knew Kenjirou and Ayaka for a short amount of time. And if it caused us that much grief losing them then I can't even imagine how much grief it put on you. It's okay to cry now. Don't bottle it up like I do"

her eyes were overflowing by her tears down to her cheeks and "it's so painful shuya.. I wish I never committed suicide in the first place but I had no choice.. and now seto and kido is gone and the only thing is left is you.." "Well... If you're really real and I'm not deceiving myself into thinking it then... I'm really glad you're here with me. Because with you here, there'll be less secrets, right~?" He went back to having the carefree voice at the end. "There's no need to hide anything anymore"
