Hello, fellow non-infected. Today, I have some upsetting news.

For the past months, I have been trying to revive my motivation to consistently write new episodes for Identity. I've been asking people for their ideas for events and bosses, and I've even just created or joined a few roleplays to get at least some ideas. But nothing I found. I have decided to put Identity on a hiatus.

Unfortunately, it may even take years for it to be back on track. Here are some of the reasons why :
1. I'm inexperienced. I don't know how some things in life really work yet.
2. I lack a bit of creativity. I think I should hone my skills a bit more before continuing the series again.
I think that putting Identity on a hiatus would really help me to focus. It would probably be best to focus on my education a bit more.
Though, I may be working on a new story.. I'm not sure.

Either way, thanks for reading Identity, viewers and writers! May we meet again some other time.. <3

(Hi. Let me introduce myself.)

SHIN: (I'm Shin Michiko, a student from August University. I'm nobody special, just your ordinary student at a typical school.)
SHIN: (Have you ever felt like you've been reliving the same day over and over again? I've experienced that too. I mean, I'm experiencing that too.)
SHIN: (But today, something feels different. Something feels odd about today.)
MINAKO: Brother? Are you okay?
SHIN: Uh- yeah. Just thinking.
{Shin pets Minako's head.}
SHIN: (I can't ever let Minako worry about me.. never.)

REI {One of Shin's bullies}: Hey, princess! Go be a dear and do my homework for me, will you?
SHIN: (Seriously? Well.. I can't start a fight now.. Not with Minako by my side.)
{The other bullies laugh at Shin from behind.}
SHIN: Fine.
MINAKO: Brother! Wait!
SHIN: Minako, it's fine-
MINAKO: No, it isn't! You shouldn't be doing other people's homework! It's theirs to deal with, not yours!
REI: Hey, hey, little girl, I ain't asking him to do my homework. I'm asking him to HELP me with my homework.
MINAKO: Still, you're being suspicious. If you were really asking brother to help you with homework, wouldn't you have excused yourselves and told me what you two were going to do?
REI: Why you...! Just let it go, little girl!
MINAKO: No! I'll never let you do something like that to brother-
{Rei pushes Minako down, and Minako falls to the floor.}
SHIN: Hey! What do you think you're doing to my sister?
REI: Oh yeah, princess? You wanna go?
KURO {One of Shin's friends}: Hey, man! The heck's wrong with you, bullying a little girl?!
KURO: She's just a little kid!
{Rei punches Kuro in the face.}
REI: So you got your body guards to protect you, huh? Little {coward}!
{Kuro stands up and kicks Rei in dem ballz}
KURO: Don't you dare talk trash about my friends like that.
REI: Tch..! Y-You'll pay for this..
{Rei walks to his classroom.}
KURO: Hey, Minako. You alright?
MINAKO: I-I'm okay. Nothing hurts.
KURO: That's great to hear. Shin?
SHIN: I-I'm fine. I think you should worry about yourself.
KURO: Huh?
SHIN: You're bleeding.
KURO: Oh, I am? Well, guess I'll head on over to the nurse's office. Tell Ms. Mera that I'll be a bit late for class. See ya!
SHIN: A-Alright.

SHIN: Minako, are you sure you're okay?
MINAKO: Yes! I'm really fine! I promise!
SHIN: Alright.. Well, time for me to go to class. You should go too.
MINAKO: See you at recess, brother!
SHIN: See you.

{At recess.}

MINAKO: Brother!
SHIN: Woah, Minako! You kinda scared me.
MINAKO: Sorry, I'm just glad to see you again!
{Shin pets Minako's head.}
SHIN: (I can see Rei glaring at me with that look. Kinda scares me..)
MINAKO: Brother, don't think about it! Don't worry!
{Minako smiles at Shin.}
SHIN: (I just can't stop thinking about it.. it scares me. W-What if...)
KURO: You're good man. Pretty sure he was just kidding.
SHIN: I'm just worried.
KURO: He's weak and pathetic! He chickened out, remember?
SHIN: (Maybe I just shouldn't worry about it too much...)

{After school.}

{Shin stands at the school entrance, waiting for Minako.}
SHIN: Where is she? Minako?
KURO: Hey man! What brings you here? Where's Minako?
SHIN: Oh, Kuro! Just in time, I was waiting for Minako.. Did you see her anywhere?
KURO: Well, I saw her go into that alleyway with somebody.. I couldn't make out the face, so I just assumed that it was you.. W-Wait..
SHIN: Minako.. alone..?
KURO: Do you.. want me to come with you?
SHIN: No, no.. it's fine.
KURO: Alright.. Well, I'll just be in my club room, doing club  stuff.. See ya!
SHIN: See you.
{Shin runs towards the alleyway searching for Minako.}
SHIN: Minako? Where are you-
(.... What..?)
SHIN: MINAKO!! WHAT HAPPENED?!
KURO: Shin! Are you alright? I heard you shout-
KURO: HOLY CRAP.
SHIN: Minako!!! Minako...!!
KURO: Shin, we need to get help fast! I'll call the police!
SHIN: Minako...!!
{Shin starts weeping in front of Minako's abused, dead body.}
SHIN: D-Don't.. do this.. to me...
SHIN: Don't leave me... Minako..!
KURO: Shin, we gotta get outta here! Come on!
{Kuro drags Shin away by the hand.}
SHIN: Minako..!! Minako..!!!

# data[].attributes.body
SHIN: (Ever since that day, I started skipping classes. I stayed home everyday, just thinking about Minako.)
SHIN: (I've kept receiving texts from Kuro and the others, but I never opened any of them and went about my day lying in bed.)
SHIN: (That is.. until.. I had a dream about my village.)

SHIN: (It was getting late, and I was on my way home from school. Then, suddenly, when I turned to my road.. The sky was blood-red. People were killing and.. eating each other.. It was complete chaos. I immediately started running home to see if mom and dad were alright.. and they were in hiding. We then decided to use the car to escape, but we crashed.. When I woke up still in my dream, mom and dad were dead. They sat there in their seats, face down on the dashboard.. I had to leave them there in the car..)
SHIN: (I started running to the way out and ignored everything around me, until I saw a boy around my age stuck under some rubble. I decided to help him, to see that he had cat ears and a tail. We both made it out of there safely, and we became best friends. I would then wake up.. and I would be having the same dream over and over again every night..)
SHIN: (Wait, what was his name again? I don't really remember.. Well, anyway..)

SHIN: (The next time Kuro texted me again, I told him about the dream. He told me it could be a sign for me to come back to school.. I knew it made no sense, but just trying for a day, I went back to bed and slept. I mean, I don't really want to stay like this forever, after all..)

{The next day..}

SHIN: (Well.. it's time to go to school.. Wonder how this'll turn out..)
{Shin then heads outside his room..}
MOM: Oh, Shin Sweetie? Did you finally decide to go to school?
SHIN: Yeah.. I just didn't want to stay like that forever..
MOM: Oh.. I'm glad.
{Shin's mom hugs him tightly.}
MOM: Anyway.. here's your lunch box, sweetie. Good luck!
SHIN: Thanks, mom.
DAD: Good luck out there, kiddo.
{Shin steps out the house, and starts making his way to school.}
SHIN: So... how are you feeling, Minako?
{There wasn't any response.}
SHIN: Minako-?
SHIN: (Oh.. that's right.. Minako isn't here anymore.)

{In front of Shin's classroom.}

{Shin opens the door to find the people he always used to see.}
KURO: S-Shin?! Dang, dude. You're a mess! Have you been sleeping right lately?
SHIN: No.. had insomnia.
KURO: Dude.. I should've done something.. anything.
SHIN: It isn't your fault.

KURO: Oh yeah, uhm.. By the way, I heard that we have a new student.
SHIN: A new student?
KURO: Yeah, I think his name was.. Something.. Ichigo.
KURO: Heh, sorry. I can't quite remember his name-
MS. MERA: Alright, class! Please return to your respective seats. Today, we have a new student! Please, come in.
???: Hello everyone, my name is Yasu Ichigo.
YASU: I hope we get along well!
SHIN: (W-What..? H-He-)
KURO: [Psst, hey.. Isn't he the guy from your dream?]
SHIN: [Y-Yeah, that's right.. I was surprised too..]
KURO: [What do you think this means?]
SHIN: [I'm not sure..]
YASU: (Wait, what the heck? Isn't he that guy from my dream?)
YASU: (Oh shoot.. he is. What's going on here?)
MS. MERA: Thank you, Yasu. You may take your seat anywhere you like.
SHIN: (He sat beside me?)
{They both made eye contact.}
YASU: (He's looking at me too.. This is kinda awkward..)
KURO: [Shin, I really need to tell you something.. But, later at recess, okay? I think Ms. Mera's onto us..]
SHIN: [Sure..]

{Later at recess, in the cafeteria.}

KURO: Dude, by the way he looked at you too.. I think he knows too, like, literally.
SHIN: Are you sure..? I mean, it doesn't actually happen, you know?
KURO: Yeah, and usually it only happens in fictional movies or books, but.. what if it's really true?
SHIN: I'm not sure what I'd do..
KURO: Oh, and by the way.. Are you okay? Like, with the whole Minako thing?
SHIN: Well, I'm still recovering, but I guess I'm okay now..
KURO: Thank god, that's good to hear.. Me and Felix were super worried about you, dude! We were actually freaking out..
SHIN: I'm.. sorry I made you two feel that way.
KURO: Hey man, it's alright. We know it takes some time to recover from all that.. Minako's in a safe place now.. and she's enjoying herself there.
SHIN: ...You're right..
YASU: Heya!
SHIN & KURO: W-Woah!
KURO: That scared the heck out of me, dude-
KURO: Huh? Oh, you're the new guy, right?
YASU: Yep, that's me!
{Yasu gives a childish-looking smile.}
YASU: Shin, right?
{Yasu gets closer to Shin.}
SHIN: U-Uhm.. yeah. H-How'd you know?
YASU: Well, this might be kinda weird.. We met in a dream?
SHIN: Seems like you remember it too..
YASU: W-Wait, what?
YASU: Woah, so I was right!
KURO: Yoo.. that's super weird.. Dreamt of each other even though you guys never met..
SHIN: (I remember now.. In the dream, he told me his name was Yasu Ichigo..)
KURO: Well, Shin told me about the dream.. Any idea why you had cat ears and a tail?
{Suddenly, the look on Yasu's face changed. He looked quite surprised?}
{Yasu took a moment to regain himself.}
YASU: C-Cat ears? And a tail? W-Well, I don't really know, hehe..
YASU: Maybe it's 'cause I like cats? That's the only thing I could think of..
{He seemed to stutter as if he were thinking of the words to say while still speaking.}

SHIN: (That day, we grew closer to each other, we made jokes.. It felt good to talk like this again..)
SHIN: (If Minako were still here.. she would've been happy to have a new friend..)

# data[].attributes.body
{You see.. I actually forgot to tell you. In this universe and mostly in Shin's village, there are many disappearances.. A lot of people went missing, some were found with all their skin stripped off of their bones, others were never found..}
{So then, the next day..}

KURO: Shin..
KURO: Do you think that Rei killed Minako?
SHIN: ...?
KURO: Do you think that he killed Minako? I-I mean.. That day, he said that you'd pay..
KURO: Do you think this was what he meant?
YASU: What? Just over that? Homework?
YASU: That doesn't make sense.. and, that's too extreme..
SHIN: I know. But then, who else could it be? Minako didn't ever seem to worry.. I never saw her cry. She never told me if she was being bullied.
SHIN: And I know her. If she was being bullied, she would've told me.
HINAWARI: It just really doesn't make sense..
SHIN: W-Woah!
HINAWARI: Did I scare you, Shin?
SHIN: Please.. just let me know that you're there first..
HINAWARI: Sorry, I'll make sure to do that next time.
KURO: So, what is it, Hina?
HINAWARI: Well, I was just wondering if you guys had anything for me to report. I gave each one of us tasks to complete {NOTE: She's the president of the Newspaper Club}.
KURO: I see..

SHIN: (That day wasn't so special, to be honest. Just another day hanging out with Yasu and Kuro.)

{Another day passes by..}
{The notification sound comes from Shin's phone.}
SHIN: (I have a new notification..)
SHIN: (W-What..? Wait, this isn't possible. A-Am I hallucinating?)
{Shin opens her DM.}
MINAKO: {In text} Brother? Help me I'm scared
MINAKO: {In text} I don't know where I am, where are you?
SHIN: (Minako texted me.. What's going on?)
SHIN: {In text} Where are you?
{It takes a few seconds for her to reply.}
MINAKO: {In text} I don't know, I'm in a forest I think
MINAKO: {In text} Brother I can't last forever, I'm on data
SHIN: (Shoot.. where could she be?)
SHIN: (I'm coming.. Minako.)
MINAKO: {In text} There's something wrong with me, hurry
SHIN: (Something wrong with her..? Does she mean that she's injured? I'm not sure, but...)

{Shin goes looking for Minako.}
SHIN: Mina-
SHIN: Ack!
SHIN: (W-What was that?)
{Shin stands up to-}
SHIN: Huh?
{Shin quickly dodges the trap.}
SHIN: (T-Traps..? W-Why are there traps here..?)
SHIN: (N-No.. I need to find Minako and look out for these traps..)
SHIN: Minako?!
MINAKO: Brother?!
SHIN: Minako, where are you?!
MINAKO: T-To your left??
SHIN: (To my left-)
SHIN: W-What?!
???: HISSSSSS!!!!!
SHIN: Ow!
{Something bites Shin's arm and pins him to a tree.}
SHIN: E-Eh? Y-Yasu?
YASU: Eh?
YASU: W-WHA?!
{Yasu falls back.}
SHIN: (He has the cat ears and tail..)
SHIN: H-Here..
YASU: Huh?
{Shin lends his hand to Yasu, and helps him get back on his feet.}
{The two stare at each other for a while.}
SHIN: Yasu..
{Shin takes both of Yasu's hands.}
SHIN: Your cat ears and tail-
YASU: L-Let go of me!
SHIN: W-Wait-
SHIN: E-Eh?!
{Yasu suddenly changes into a cat, squirming in Shin's hands.}
{In shock, Shin accidentally lets go of Yasu and he runs outside the forest.}
SHIN: W-Wait!!
SHIN: (W-What was that? Did Yasu just turn into a cat?)
MINAKO: Brother? Are you still there?
SHIN: Y-Yes! Coming!
{Shin makes it to Minako's area.}
SHIN: Minako-!
MINAKO: Shin!!
SHIN: (H-Huh?)
{Minako runs to hug Shin.}
MINAKO: Brother.. I missed you so much! I was so scared..
SHIN: (M-Minako has..)
MINAKO: Brother?
SHIN: (MINAKO HAS WINGS!!)
{Shin falls back.}
SHIN: Y-YOU HAVE WINGS!!
MINAKO: Y-Yes.. I have wings..
MINAKO: I'm scared.. I don't know what to do.. Why do I have wings, brother..?
SHIN: M-Minako.. I'm not sure, but.. Can you hide them, somehow?
MINAKO: W-Wait..
{Minako closes her eyes, and suddenly, her wings disappear.}
MINAKO: Are they gone?
SHIN: Y-Yeah.. they're gone.
SHIN: I can't believe this.. Minako, I.. H-How did this happen to you?
MINAKO: I don't know! I just.. woke up here in the forest, and I suddenly had wings on me too.
SHIN: Minako.. do you remember.. what last happened before this?
MINAKO: Huh?
{Minako's eyes suddenly widen. It seems she remembered.}
MINAKO: B-Brother..
{Minako hugs Shin tightly in fear.}
MINAKO: I-I..
SHIN: Minako..?
{Minako's hands and legs start to tremble.}
MINAKO: I-I just remember that.. Rei wanted to talk to me, and I went along because I thought he wanted to apologize.. And then suddenly, he transformed into.. s-something..
SHIN: (Rei transformed into something? No.. something transformed into Rei? Like Yasu..)
SHIN: (... I have some questions to ask him.)
SHIN: Well, Minako.. I'll be here now, to protect you. Let's.. go home.

{The two held hands while going home. The people who saw them whispered to one another. They were confused. Wasn't Minako already dead?}

SHIN: Mom! Dad! We're home!
MOM: We're home? What are you talking about sweetie-
{Once their mom sees them, her eyes widen and she covers her mouth in shock.}
MOM: M-Minako? I-Is that you?
MINAKO: Yes.. it's me.
MOM: Oh.. Sweetheart! Come here! You need to see this!
DAD: What is it now-
DAD: W-What the-?!
MOM: Our daughter.. our daughter has come back!
DAD: W-Wasn't she dead?!
MOM: Oh.. what happened? How..?
MINAKO: I-I don't know. I just woke up in the forest..
MINAKO: I have something I want to show you, mom, dad.
MOM: What is it?
SHIN: Minako-?
{Minako then reveals her wings to them.}
DAD: And you even have wings?!
MINAKO: Y-Yes..
MOM: Oh, it doesn't matter! All that matters is that you're back!
SHIN: ...
{Their mom hugs the both of them.}
MINAKO: And also.. I texted brother to come get me..
MOM: S-So.. you found her?
SHIN: Y-Yeah..
MOM: Thank god!
MOM: Minako sweetheart, head inside, your clothes are quite dirty. Let's get you all cleaned up.
MINAKO: O-Okay..

SHIN: (It's a bit weird, having Minako back.. since I've kind of gotten used to her not being here.)
MINAKO: Brother! Which one do you think it is?
SHIN: Uhm.. let's see.. That one?
MINAKO: I-It's right! You're amazing, brother!

{The next day.}

MINAKO: Let's go to school together, like we always used to.. brother.
SHIN: Yeah.. sure.
{They held each other's hands going to school.}
SHIN: So, how are you feeling, Minako?
MINAKO: I'm feeling great! I'm just.. glad I can see you again. I feel bad leaving you all alone with my death.. I don't want to imagine how much pain you could've experienced while I was gone..
SHIN: Well, you don't have to worry anymore. Since you're here, I'm not in pain anymore.

{At school.}
{Shin and Minako walk into the school, with people whispering and murmuring to each other.}
SHIN: (Now.. I should ask Yasu at recess.)
SHIN: (Wait.. didn't Minako say that Rei transformed into some monster? W-Who should I ask first now?)
SHIN: (You know what? W-Why don't I just ask Yasu first.. I'm kinda scared of Rei.. I just have to wait until recess.)
KURO: Minako!
MINAKO: Kuro?
KURO: Hey! How are you?
{Kuro hugs Minako.}
SHIN: ...
MINAKO: I'm great! I'm glad to see you again, Kuro..
KURO: Shoot, me too.. things were hard without you here. But now that we've got you back, there's nothing to be sad about anymore.
MINAKO: That's good..
{Kuro lets go of Minako.}
KURO: And dude, chill. I just miss Minako, alright?
SHIN: After what happened to her, you're not an exception.
KURO: U-Understandable.
SHIN: (Hold on.. speaking of Rei.. where was he those two days? I never saw him once. He didn't even talk to me. N-Not like I want him to..)
SHIN: (And now he can even transform into a monster? Hell to the no.)

{At recess.}
SHIN: (Huh? What's this in my locker?)
{"Meet me at the rooftop during recess."}
SHIN: (It's a letter. But it doesn't say who wrote it..)
KURO: "Meet me at the rooftop during recess."
SHIN: W-Woah!
KURO: Oooh, is someone gonna confess to you~?
SHIN: W-Well.. not sure.
KURO: Come on dude, you can go ahead. I'll be with Minako.
SHIN: ... Fine.
{Shin starts heading to the rooftop.}
SHIN: Eh?
SHIN: (What was that just now? I thought I saw somebody from the corner of my eye..)
SHIN: (Well..)

{At the rooftop.}
SHIN: (Seems like nobody's here yet. I'll just wait for a little while.)
{After a few seconds..}
SHIN: (Eh? I thought I heard something.)
{Shin looks behind his back to see...}
SHIN: Yasu?
{Suddenly, Yasu starts approaching Shin and his cat ears and tail appear. He pulls out a knife from his pocket.}
YASU: DIE!!
SHIN: Ack!
{Yasu pins Shin to the wall and tries to stab him, but Shin manages to stop it by holding Yasu's hand tightly.}
YASU: You weren't supposed to see me! Have you told anybody?!
SHIN: N-No! I-I swear!
YASU: Well, that's good.. Now, it's time to get rid of you!
{Yasu tries to stab Shin harder, but Shin still holds his hand with all his strength.}
YASU: Let me kill you!!
SHIN: N-No!
YASU: L-Let go!!
SHIN: D-Don't-!
YASU: Wah!!
{Shin accidentally pushes Yasu off the rooftop, but Yasu manages to get a hold of the rails.}
SHIN: Y-Yasu!
YASU: E-Ehh...
{Shin pulls Yasu back up.}
SHIN: A-Are you okay?
YASU: I-I thought you were going to push me off?
SHIN: Oh.. uhm.. I-I can't do that.. I don't want to kill you..
YASU: E-Ehh..?
SHIN: Just tell me.. Why do you have cat ears and a tail? I-I promise I won't tell anyone..
YASU: You promise? You swear on your life?
SHIN: U-Uhm..
YASU: Because if you tell anyone, I swear..
{Yasu corners Shin to the wall and points his knife at Shin's neck.}
YASU: I'll slit your wrists, repeatedly stab your thighs, scoop out your eyes, take out all your organs, chop your body parts off-
SHIN: O-Okay! Okay! I-I get it..
YASU: So, do you swear?
SHIN: Y-Yes..
YASU: Okay.. so.. Basically, the entire world's in danger.
SHIN: H-Huh?
YASU: A weak little schoolboy like you can't save it, can you?
SHIN: W-What's happening?
YASU: To be honest, I don't know. All I know is that there's a whole army of supernatural cannibals out there, somewhere.
YASU: Surprise! I'm one of them! Haha!
SHIN: Huh..?
YASU: It's a lot to process.
YASU: I'm the highest among all of them, though. I'm the strongest. I can manipulate life and death, and I can kill any one of them as I please. I am the masterminds' right hand man!
SHIN: I-Is all of this true..?
YASU: Of course! Here.
{With a snap of his fingers, a cat appears in the air, floating.}
YASU: Now, let's see what I can do..
{Yasu folds his hand into a fist.}
{The cat meows in pain as it's being crumpled. Shin is a bit horrified.}
YASU: Boom.
{Finally, the cat explodes and its blood splatters on both of them.}
YASU: See? See~? Another one!
{With a snap of his fingers, another Shin appears.}
SHIN: E-Ehh?
SHIN#2: Huh? It's.. me..?
SHIN: W-What's going on?
YASU: Ahahaha! Isn't this amazing~? Now, it disappears!
{Yasu folds his hand into a fist. The clone he made of Shin disappears.}
YASU: Come on! Come on! Look over here!
{They both look down the rooftop, and they set their focus on the road. There were two cars on the road.}
YASU: Watch this! Watch this! Boom!
{Yasu puts his two index fingers together, and makes the two cars crash into each other.}
{Shin lost the words to say.}
YASU: Ahaha! Isn't this amazing? Isn't it amazing??
{Yasu seems to enjoy this. He seems like a little child.}
SHIN: E-Enough.. that's enough.
YASU: Okay! Aha!
SHIN: (I-I don't know what to say..)
YASU: By the way..
SHIN: ...?
{Yasu hugs Shin.}
YASU: Thanks for saving me..
SHIN: Uhm.. yeah..
{Yasu nuzzles his head to Shin's neck.}
SHIN: Yasu..?
YASU: EHHH!!!
{Yasu lets go of Shin.}
YASU: S-Sorry! My cat habits..
SHIN: Cat habits?
YASU: Well.. I am a half-cat..
SHIN: Oh, so you sort of act like a cat sometimes?
YASU: M-Mhm..
SHIN: Oh, well.. Catch!
YASU: Eh?
{Yasu catches the thing that Shin throws at him.}
YASU: W-What's this?
{Yasu's eyes sparkle and widen. It's a yarn ball.}
{Yasu's tail starts swaying left and right, probably signifying that he likes the present.}
YASU: T-Thank you..
SHIN: Well, Yasu..
YASU: ...?
SHIN: Let's go downstairs together. Kuro and Minako's waiting for us.
YASU: O-Okay..

{Shin and Yasu go downstairs together.}
{Yasu, the same way Minako did, hides his ears and tail.}
KURO: Hey dude! What took you so long-?
KURO: Oh hey, Yasu!
YASU: H-Hey..
KURO: Are you okay, Yasu? You look kinda red..
YASU: E-Eh?
SHIN: We met up at the rooftop.
YASU: I-I was the one who wrote the letter..
KURO: You are? T-Then..
KURO: Are you guys in a relationship now?
MINAKO: W-What?!
SHIN: What?
YASU: E-Ehh?! You little..!
KURO: Oww!
{Yasu hits Kuro on the head.}
YASU : I-I didn't confess!
MINAKO: B-Brother.. I didn't know you were into boys..
SHIN: I wasn't, Minako..
YASU: S-Stop making everybody misunderstand!!
KURO: Okay! Sorry!
MINAKO: B-By the way.. I don't know who you are yet..
YASU: Me?
SHIN: She's my little sister.
YASU: Ohh, I see.. Well, I'm Yasu Ichigo!
MINAKO: I'm Minako.. it's nice to meet you!
YASU: Aha, you too!
KURO: Seems like you two are gonna get along pretty well.
{All of them sit beside each other in one of the tables. Yasu and Shin sit beside each other.}
YASU: [You know, Shin..]
SHIN: [What?]
YASU: [Your sister's one of them, too.]
SHIN: [.. Y-Yeah..]
YASU: [Now, she a bit young, so try not to leave her alone. The young ones who are infected with the virus tend to not be able to control their cravings for human flesh well.]
YASU: [Keep an eye on her at all times.. or else I will do the following that was said on the rooftop.]
SHIN: [O-Okay..]
YASU: [Fun little fact, she's a dove! It's kinda rare.]
SHIN: [H-How did she get revived?]
YASU: [The virus, it can revive a dead person.]
SHIN: ["The virus"?]
YASU: [The virus is what all of our kind have. It's how we obtained these animal features and our supernatural powers. You can infect a person with the virus by biting them, or by using your nails to inject them..]
YASU: [Now, this is very rare, but for some, it can be transmitted sexually.]
SHIN: [I-I see...]
KURO: Heyo! You two! Helloooo~
SHIN: E-Eh? O-Oh.. we were just talking.
KURO: Come on dude, your sister's playing a little game!
{They all had fun playing the game..}

{After school, in the yard.}
SHIN: By the way.. Yasu..
YASU: Hmm?
SHIN: How did you become one of them?
YASU: Well.. I was born this way..
YASU: Oh, by the way.. We can't reproduce with the uninfected, they said that it might have some serious wrongs..
SHIN: They?
YASU: The masterminds. I can't tell you any more about them other than there're two of them. A boy and a girl.

SHIN: A boy and a girl..
YASU: Phew... I feel like the weight on my shoulders has just been lifted. All those things I was keeping to myself..
YASU: Anyway, see you tomorrow, Shin.
SHIN: S-See you.
{Yasu starts walking forward, and eventually, he fades away.}
SHIN: ...
SHIN: (Well, it isn't really a secret anymore.)

# data[].attributes.body
{At the infected's secret hideout.}

???: {Screw} you!
???#2: Huh? You wanna go?
YASU: That. Is. Enough.
???: Y-Yes.. sir.
{All of them bowed down to Yasu.}
YASU: This is the last time that I'm telling you, alright? If you do this again, I will shred you two into pieces.
???#2: Y-Yes sir!
???: Understood!
YASU: Good. Now, don't you dare make a ruckus here outside while I'm reporting to Kaede and Daisuke.
{Yasu enters the fancy-looking room.}
YASU: Mom! Dad!
KAEDE: Sweetheart, you're back?
YASU: Yeah! I got real closer to my friends today.. And got even more closer to this one friend I had..
KAEDE: Hmm, I see! So, how did things go out with you and your friends today?
YASU: It went great.. He even gave me a present!
KAEDE: Aww, that's nice sweetie. Well, you should head to your room now. Try and figure out what you'll do with.. "Him".
YASU: Of course, mother. Goodnight~
KAEDE: See you again tomorrow, my love.

{The next day, before class starts, in Shin's classroom.}
SHIN: Hey... Yasu..
YASU: Mhm?
SHIN: I just have a question..
YASU: What is it?
SHIN: Well... Are you really okay with the whole world ending soon? Don't you want to do anything about it?
YASU: ...
YASU: I do.. I wanted to do something about it... but.. I-I just can't.
SHIN: Huh? Why not?
YASU: Well, yes.. But it's just that.. In order to stop this, I need to kill my adoptive parents...
SHIN: Oh.. I see..
YASU: So... I just went along with it..
SHIN: It's okay, I understand..
SHIN: (Wait.. If Yasu needs to kill his parents to stop this, does that mean that his parents are in a high position? Are Yasu's parents... the masterminds?)
SHIN: (No wonder that he's the right hand man.. not only is he strong, he's their son.)
SHIN: (Hold on a second..)
SHIN: Yasu, if you're part of these supernatural people.. then, why'd they send you to school?
YASU: Oh, I was sent here for a mission. I'm supposed to stalk this one guy and try to catch him red-handed. But~ I'm not gonna tell you who it is~!
SHIN: Fine..
YASU: But hey, Shin..
SHIN: ..?
YASU: I think you might be able to do something about all this. I think you have potential.. To do it, that is.. Though, you can't become one of us.
SHIN: Why so?
YASU: It's too risky. You might die.. from the transformation..
SHIN: I see..
YASU: Well, then, Shin.. After school, I'll bring you to all the secret and barricaded places I saw! There must be some stuff in there we could use to stop them.

{After school, in the yard.}
SHIN: Minako, I have someone I want you to meet.
MINAKO: Huh? Someone you want me to meet?
SHIN: Yes, follow me.
{The two hold hands, and go to the school's yard.}
SHIN: There he is.
MINAKO: Y-Yasu? You want me to meet with Yasu?
SHIN: Yeah.. he has.. something to tell you.
MINAKO: I see..
YASU: Hey, Minako.
MINAKO: Did you want to meet me?
YASU: Why, yes! I have something to show you!
MINAKO: W-What is it?
{Yasu closes his eyes, and his cat ears and tail appear.}
MINAKO: W-What..?
YASU: Minako, I'm the same as you.
MINAKO: [Brother.. I feel a bit scared of him..]
SHIN: [W-Why? He's a friend, he's not going to do anything to you.. hopefully.]
YASU: Aha, don't be scared.
YASU: [That's something I have for the infected to make them obey me.]
SHIN: [I see..}
MINAKO: ...
YASU: Come on! I'm not gonna hurt you~
YASU: [Shin, she won't believe me...]
SHIN: [...]
SHIN: [Okay, fine.. just this once. Just.. make her believe you. I don't really care what you do.]
SHIN: [Unless.. you know.]
YASU: [O-Of course.]
YASU: I'll show you, then~
MINAKO: E-Eh?!
SHIN: ...
{Yasu picks Minako up, and spins around with her.}
YASU: Isn't this fun~?
MINAKO: I-I'm getting dizzy..
SHIN: ...
{Then, Yasu throws her into the air.}
MINAKO: Eh?!
YASU: Don't worry!

{Yasu then turns into a big cat, and catches her on his back.}
MINAKO: Wah-!
MINAKO: Oh, wow.. You're so big.. And soft too..
{Minako gets off.}
MINAKO: So cute!
{Minako pets the big cat.}
YASU: A-Am I really that cute?
{Yasu then turns back into normal.}
MINAKO: W-Well.. Fine, then. I-I'll believe you.
YASU: [Yes!]
SHIN: [Can we hurry up before I change my mind?]
YASU: [Okay, okay..]
YASU: Follow me, now.
MINAKO: ...
SHIN: Minako, it's okay. I'm here to protect you if he tries anything.

# data[].attributes.body
{At their destination.}
YASU: So, here we are now!
SHIN: W-What is this?
YASU: I'm not so sure either. All I know is that it's one of us. Just.. hostile.
YASU: You know.. I could be the strongest among the infected.. But I'm not the strongest among these ones. Actually, these aren't even people. Just.. plants that were used for experiments I guess. But, there's something behind it. Like, a secret room.
SHIN: And how do you expect me to do something about this?
YASU: Geez.. okay.. It's weird, but there's something about you.. I'm REALLY sensing something whenever I'm with you. Besides you being hot, I feel a little bit of power..
SHIN: (What?)
YASU: I don't exactly know how to explain it. Just.. try!
SHIN: Oh uh.. How?
YASU: Well, just concentrate I guess. I usually just think of what I wanna do. Then, it happens! Why don't you try it?
SHIN: O-Okay..
YASU: Hold on. You need to get a little more closer to it.
SHIN: Oh.. O-Okay..
{Shin extends his hand. Nothing happens.}
SHIN: U-Uhm..?
YASU: Well, okay then.. Think of something? Uhm... Let's see... Happy moments? Sad moments?
SHIN: ...
{Flashback}
SHIN: Minako? Where are you-
(... W-What..?)
{Minako's dead body laid there.. her blank eyes wide open, forever staring. Her arms and legs, full of lacerations. The blood from her neck and wounds made a large pool on the ground.}
SHIN: MINAKO!! WHAT HAPPENED?!!
{End of Flashback}
SHIN: ...
{Suddenly, fire grows from Shin's hand.}
SHIN: E-Eh?!
{The fire then gets blown to the plant by the air.}
YASU: ...
{It sets the plant in flames, and the plant shrieks..}
{The plant gets burned to a crisp.}
YASU: It seems.. You have powers.. But, you never knew.
YASU: Are  you sure you didn't just come to the school like I did? You sure you're not one of us?
SHIN: I don't remember anything about this organization.. I don't know anything about it.
YASU: ...
YASU: Well, I don't know. I can only think that you're related to one of us.. There's no other possible explanation!
SHIN: ...
MINAKO: Well... I'm one of them now, after all.
YASU: It doesn't really work like that... unless, your bodies are connected to each other. Which.. isn't possible for you two.
SHIN: Why not?
YASU: J-Just forget it.. it's too long an explanation.
YASU: Anyway, looks like our path is cleared!
{The three of them all enter the room.}
YASU: Achoo!
YASU: Ugh.. All of this dust.. My nose is more sensitive than yours..
MINAKO: I'll clear all the dust!
{Minako flaps her wings to clear all of the dust.}
YASU: Thanks, Minako!
MINAKO: You're welcome! Hehe..
{Shin ignites a flame in his hands for some light.}
SHIN: It's so dark..
SHIN: H-Huh?
MINAKO: Eh?! W-What..
YASU: Woah... what the hell is this place?
SHIN: Are these... real people?
{They find themselves in a room.. that is full of experiments.}
YASU: I-I think they are.. Look.
{The room is full of experimental tubes. Kind of like some Sci-fi movie, but just.. real.}
YASU: Their animal features... look like they're developing. This might be where... all of this started.
SHIN: ...
{The people inside them stay unconscious... curled up in a ball.}
MINAKO: C-Can't we get them out?
YASU: Get them out?
MINAKO: To stop the process... of becoming a monster.
YASU: ...
YASU: Maybe we could.
SHIN: Is there some kind of button here for that?
YASU: Hmm.. not sure. Do the buttons have names over them? Like, does it specify what the button does?
SHIN: Ugh.. no.
YASU: Well then..
{Yasu folds his hand into a fist and the glass from the tube explodes. The person inside falls on the ground.}
MINAKO: What is this fluid? It's all green.. and it makes my skin feel like it's freezing..
YASU: A-Aha.. don't touch that.. They use it for these people after all... just look at them. Who knows what this does?
MINAKO: Sorry.. just curious.
???: UHH...
MINAKO: E-Eeek!!
{The person suddenly wakes up.}
YASU: Are you okay?
{Then, the person turns into some kind of slimy monster.}
MINAKO: ...!
MINAKO: B-Brother!!
SHIN: It's okay, Minako, just stay behind.
MINAKO: N-No... it's.. it's..
SHIN: ..?
MINAKO: It's the monster that killed me...
SHIN: (What?)
???: COME... BACK...
SHIN: Yasu!
YASU: E-Eh?
YASU: Ow!
{The white slimy monster pulls Yasu down by his feet.}
YASU: NYAA!! NYAA!!
{The monster opens its mouth gradually as he pulls Yasu closer.}
SHIN: Yasu!!
YASU: MYAA!! MYAAA!!
{Yasu squirms in its hands, and he struggles to escape. Shin ignites fire from his hands once more and directs it to the monster, but it seemed to be immune.}
MINAKO: Yasu!
{Yasu gets pulled into the monster's mouth.}
YASU: No! No!! You're not gonna kill me! I haven't even gotten a girlfriend yet!!
{Yasu gets swallowed by the monster.}
SHIN: Yasu!!
{Shin grabs a random chemical from the shelf and-}
SHIN: Eh?
{The monster transformed into Yasu..? Yasu took over...?}
SHIN: Yasu..?
{Wait.. But he has two heads..?}
YASU#2: Shin..
YASU: Holy crap.
YASU#2: I love you.
YASU: E-Eh?!
YASU: Y-You other head, s-shut up!!
SHIN: Yasu..
YASU: ...
YASU#2: I really love you!
YASU: C-CAN YOU JUST BE QUIET FOR ONCE?!
SHIN: W-What should I do?
YASU: U-Uhm..
YASU: God.. I need myself disconnected from this thing.
YASU#2: Only you..
YASU: Ugh. Just.. don't mind him.
YASU#2: Please say that you love me too...
YASU: Aha, buddy, may I beat you to death?
YASU: Anyway, speaking of beating him to death... can I just take over the body? Like, can you cut off his head?
SHIN: Uhm.. okay.
MINAKO: I found this!
{Minako lends Shin a knife.}
SHIN: Hmm.. this is probably perfect.
SHIN: Here it goes..
{Shin swings the knife at its neck, and suddenly..}
SHIN: E-Eh?!
YASU: I think this is going to be endless...
MINAKO: Oh no...
{Yasu and the other head separated into two different bodies.}
YASU#2: Shin!
YASU: Don't get near him!!
{Yasu blocks his other self from getting any closer to Shin.}
YASU: Hold on..
YASU: Get ready for this, everybody!
{A large breeze of freezing air suddenly fills the room. The walls become covered with frost.}
MINAKO: E-Eh! It's s-s-so cold....
YASU#2: W-What are you doing?
YASU: Please die!
{Then suddenly, his other self freezes up and goes back to its normal form, although still frozen.}
YASU: Yes! Now die!!
{Yasu shatters the monster.}
YASU: Yes!! Yes!
SHIN: Yasu, that's enough!
YASU: I hate him!!
{Shin hugs Yasu to prevent him from shattering it even more.}
SHIN: It's already dead..
YASU: ...!
{Yasu stops squirming.}
YASU: O-Okay..
MINAKO: Brother? Yasu? I found something.
SHIN: Hmm? What is it?
MINAKO: H-Here... Though.. It's covered in.. whatever this weird substance is..
SHIN: Ugh.. what is this?
SHIN: Wait..
{It seems it's a file. Shin holds the paper close to him to take a closer look.}
SHIN: H-Huh? "Minako Michiko"..?
MINAKO: Mhm.. I think it's my file..
YASU: A file of your sister?
SHIN: Shoot... I almost can't make out anything because of this substance..
{It says..}

MINAKO MICHIKO FILE
AGE: 12

BIRTHDAY: Nov 23, 2009
OTHER: .. / -.-. .- -. -. --- - / - . .-.. .-.. / -.-- --- ..- / -.-- . - | Little sister of Shin and .-- .... --- / .. ... / .. - ..--..

SHIN: Shoot, I really can't make anything out.
SHIN: But.. It says she's my little sister, which is correct, but.. It says, "little sister of Shin and"...
YASU: T-That's all?
YASU: Then.. There has to be something more to it?
MINAKO: But.. I've always just been with brother..
SHIN: ...
SHIN: I don't know of somebody else. It's always just been me and Minako.. and I've never heard my parents mention somebody else...
YASU: ...
YASU: My mind is going super blank right now..
YASU: Eh? What's this?
YASU: Huh.. Right here, in the bottom right corner of the paper..
MINAKO: It says, "Updated".
MINAKO: It was updated?
SHIN: Then where's the not updated one..?
MINAKO: I can't find it anywhere..
YASU: Neither can I..
YASU: Well.. This was quite the adventure.
SHIN: ...
SHIN: I still can't believe I have powers.. somehow..
YASU: Welp! Don't show anybody your powers, alright? Remember our time at the rooftop~
SHIN: Y-Yeah..
YASU: We'll call this a day. See you guys tomorrow!
SHIN: Sure..
SHIN: (I'll keep this.)
{Shin grabs Minako's file and puts it in his pocket.}
SHIN: Hide your wings now, Minako. We're going home.
MINAKO: O-Okay.
{Shin takes Minako's hand, and they start walking home.}
{In the infected's secret hideout.}
KAEDE: Welcome back, sweetie!
YASU: Hey mom!
KAEDE: You were a little late today, what were you doing?
YASU: (Shoot.. I completely forgot..)
YASU: Uhm.. well.. Hanging out with friends!
KAEDE: My, you're really having fun, aren't you?
YASU: Mhm..
KAEDE: They must be really nice people.
YASU: Yeah, they are!
KAEDE: That's good to hear.
YASU: Well, mama, I'll be in my room now!
KAEDE: Okay, goodnight~
{Yasu enters his room.}
YASU: Ugh...!! There was more to it..? Who the hell is collecting info about Minako...? I'm pretty sure that can't be where all this started.. And Shin's powers...
YASU: My braincells are snapping.. I'll just rest..
{As soon as Yasu falls onto his bed, he drifts into deep sleep.}

{The next day.}
SHIN: Let's go, Minako.
MINAKO: Mhm!
KURO: Hey guys!
SHIN: Hey, Kuro.
KURO: So, what's up?
SHIN: Huh?
KURO: What's up? You... didn't reply to my texts yesterday.
SHIN: Oh, sorry. I guess my phone was silent..
KURO: Meh, it's fine.
SHIN: What did you want to talk about?
KURO: Oh! Nah, it's nothin'.
SHIN: ..?
KURO: So, how's my best girl doin'?
MINAKO: I'm great!
KURO: Not decaying, or anything?
MINAKO: Aha, what are you saying?
KURO: Heh, I'm just messing around!
MINAKO: Bleh~! I'm a zombie~!
KURO: Oh no~!
MINAKO: Haha!
{At school.}
YASU: Hey guys!!
KURO: Hey man!
YASU: [Hey, remember~]
KURO: [Yeah, yeah.. keep quiet.]
SHIN: (...?)
MINAKO: Hey, Yasu!
YASU: Hey Mina! You're cute as ever~
MINAKO: E-Eh..?
KURO: Anyway...
{Kuro and Yasu (beside each other) suddenly turn around facing Shin and Minako.}
SHIN: Eh?
{Then, the two of them separate to create a space in between them..}
MINAKO: Ah! Felix!
FELIX: H-Hey guys..
SHIN: Hey Felix!
YASU: Tada~! It's Felix!
KURO: Welcome back, man!
FELIX: I've finally felt better, after an eternity.. I missed you guys' silly faces.
KURO: Heh, we do too!

# data[].attributes.body
FELIX: Just hope I don't get sick too soon..
MINAKO: Just avoid.. triggers, okay?
FELIX: Thanks for the advice, Minako..
YASU: Anyway.. Let's have some FUN!!
KURO: Woah woah! Heh, really excited, aren't ya? He acts like such a little kid...
SHIN: He does.

{At recess.}
SHIN: Alright... I should get to the cafeteria.
{Shin goes to the cafeteria-}
SHIN: Ack!
SHIN: H-Huh...? Rei..?
REI: ...
{Shin saw that Rei was crying.}
REI: {Dang} dude.. I'm so sorry... for killing your sister..
SHIN: Eh?
SHIN: (Wait... so is he really one of them..?)
REI: Please... forgive me..
SHIN: ...
{Rei fell on his knees.}
SHIN: (Rei..)
SHIN: ...
SHIN: (Minako..)
SHIN: (... He doesn't deserve this..)
SHIN: Rei, stand up.
REI: H-Huh?
SHIN: You don't deserve this. I forgive you.
REI: W-What...? A-After all I've done to you...?
REI: ... Thanks.. Shin.
SHIN: Just.. be our friend.
REI: Huh?
SHIN: Don't.. bully anyone anymore.
REI: O-Of course..
SHIN: Then.. Follow me.
REI: ...?
{At the cafeteria.}
SHIN: Hey, guys!
KURO: Hey man! Where were you-
KURO: Rei?! What are you doing here?!
REI: ...
SHIN: Kuro..
KURO: Huh?
SHIN: It's okay. He's our friend now.
KURO: E-Eh..? What are you talking about..?
SHIN: He apologized. And he said that he'd stop.
KURO: ...
KURO: Well... if you say so.. Then, I guess..
KURO: He's part of the gang now! Sorry 'bout that, Rei.
REI: It's fine..
KURO: Come on, take a seat!
FELIX: [Are you sure it's okay to just.. forgive him like that?]
MINAKO: It's okay, Rei! I forgive you! Just.. don't make brother and the others so sad again.
REI: Of course..
SHIN: [Well.. it seems Minako would do the same thing.]
{That day, Shin and his friends laughed together and had fun.}

{At nighttime..}

YASU: Shiiinn~ Wake uuup~
SHIN: Eh...?
SHIN: Wah!!
YASU: Shh, be quiet, you're gonna get me caught.
SHIN: W-What is it...?
YASU: I found your sister's not updated file~
SHIN: Eh?
YASU: Had to steal from my parents though..
{Shin gets up from bed and goes to the window. Yasu sticks the paper to the glass.}
SHIN: H-Hold on.. you said you had to steal from your parents, right?
YASU: Yeah..
SHIN: ...
SHIN: Then doesn't that probably mean that they're the ones collecting info about Minako?
YASU: ...
YASU: Sorry, it just slipped right past my head. But I'm not sure. I didn't come into some extremely large hallway-room with boxes in shelves that are full of people's files..
SHIN: (What an imagination..)
YASU: Instead, I came into their room and found her file.
SHIN: (Minako's file..)
{It says...}

MINAKO MICHIKO FILE
AGE : 4
SEX : Female
BIRTHDAY : Nov 23, 2009
OTHER : A little girl with long, brown hair. Seems to like white, flowy dresses. (....)

SHIN: Huh..
SHIN: (In here, she's four years old..)
SHIN: ...?
SHIN: (When did we take this photo of her?)
SHIN: (I don't remember.. but it doesn't seem like she's in the house.. or anywhere we went to.. Where is this place?)
YASU: The thing that you were talking about.. The updated file, that said "Little sister of Shin and"... That part isn't included here.
SHIN: ...?
SHIN: Then, in the updated file, why is it only included there?
YASU: I have no idea. But, there's probably no way to know now.
SHIN: ...
YASU: ...
{The two looked at each other for a moment.}
YASU: So.. I just wanna talk for a little bit..
SHIN: Talk?
YASU: Uhm, yeah.. just talk. About something.
SHIN: Okay..
{Shin opens the window and lets Yasu in.}

{The next day..}
SHIN: Mh...
SHIN: Eh?
{Shin opens his eyes to see...}
{Oh? Yasu.}
SHIN: Kh...!
SHIN: (W-We must've fallen asleep when we were talking last night...)
SHIN: Ugh... Yasu, wake up!
YASU: Hm...?
MINAKO: Brother? Are you awake yet?
YASU: Where am I...?
SHIN: S-Shut up!
{Shin hides Yasu under the blankets.}
{Minako opens the door.}
SHIN: A-Aha, I just woke up.
MINAKO: Oh okay.. Uhm, sorry for not knocking..
SHIN: Oh no, it's okay Minako.
MINAKO: I-I'll go out now..
{Minako closes the door.}
{Shin lets out a sigh of relief.}
{Shin takes the blanket off Yasu, and sees Yasu in his cat form, looking rather traumatized. Shin doesn't say anything as he picks Yasu up and places him on the windowsill.}
{Yasu quickly jumps off the roof and runs across the road, and Shin closes the window.}

{At school..}
SHIN: Hey, Rei, Felix.
FELIX: Hey Shin! What's up? Me and Rei were just talking.
REI: Hey.
KURO: It's nice that Rei's friends with us now.
SHIN: Minako! Where are you off to?
MINAKO: Sorry brother, gotta go!
{Minako hugs Shin and heads to her classroom.}
KURO: Wonder where she's off to.
SHIN: She probably needs to do something.
YASU: Hey guys! What's up-
YASU: Oh.. hey, Shin.
SHIN: H-Hey.
{The two awkwardly look at each other.}
KURO: Hey man! What's up?
YASU: Meh, nothing worth mentioning.
{In class.}
MS. MERA: I'm sure you've already heard, but you guys are gonna go on a little school trip two days in the future! Isn't that just exciting?
SHIN: (School trip.. without Minako. Pretty sure she'll do just fine.. right?)

{The day of the school trip.}
SHIN: See you, Minako.
MINAKO: Good luck, brother!
{Shin hugs Minako.}
SHIN: Hey, I'm worried about you, okay? Don't go with somebody you don't know.
MINAKO: Okay..
SHIN: You're more precious than my own life. I don't want to lose you again. I love you, Minako.
MINAKO: I love you too!
{Minako buries her face into Shin's chest.}
MINAKO: Mh..
{They slowly let go of each other.}
SHIN: Well.. see you.
MINAKO: I promise to take good care of myself!
{In the school bus.}
MS. MERA: Okay students! Are you excited?!
{Yasu and Shin sit beside each other.}
YASU: Ah yes.. two days away from hell.
SHIN: And what's up with you?
YASU: Too many things to do. Too many things to keep in mind.. too many things to worry about..
SHIN: Too many things to keep in mind?
YASU: Ugh.. I was literally on the verge of telling my secret again.. I was just so offended! Cats can do many things you know!! I'm a cat myself!!
SHIN: What happened anyway?
YASU: This guy I was talking to yesterday.. he told me that cats can't do shit! I was so offended.. I wanted to tell him what I can do to scare him..
SHIN: I-I see..
YASU: You aren't like that, are you?
SHIN: Well.. I know what you can do.
YASU: Good. I would've ripped your head off to show you.
SHIN: ...
KURO: Heya Shin! Me and Rei at the back here.
REI: Hey.
SHIN: Hey guys.
FELIX: At the side!
SHIN: Glad you're coming along with us now, Felix.
FELIX: Yeah.. I'm glad too. Just hope I don't get sick at the place..
{At their destination.}
KURO: I feel that breeze brush through my hair bro.. feels refreshing.
FELIX: I know right? It's been a while since I've been outside. I've just been stuck in my room all day.. the air suffocated me.
YASU: Can't wait to build my own sand fort!
AIMI {NPC}: Come on! Let's go change and get into the water!
HINAWARI: Just wait, will you?
AIHARA {NPC}: Hurry! I need to change into something sexy to show off to the boys~
AIMI: Ha! Wait for me, girl!
HINAWARI: See you, Shin.
SHIN: See ya.
{Later into the afternoon.}
SHIN: Hey, Hinawari.
HINAWARI: Hey. So.. how are you?
{Hinawari was dressed in her purple flower bikini. She brought along a notebook and a pen for her notes.}
SHIN: I'm good. It feels great to take a break like this once in a while.
HINAWARI: Mhm. I'm just doing my newspaper notes. Observing everything and.. well, you know.
SHIN: Still working on something to report on.
HINAWARI: Yep. There might be some things I can report here. Don't wanna start rushing on notes once we get back from the trip.
HINAWARI: Oh, also, I might take some pictures too around here. Newspapers always come with pictures. But.. I'll do that a little later. I'd still have to get my camera from the rooms.
SHIN: What are you gonna write about?
HINAWARI: Well.. honestly, I have no idea. Maybe just some info about beaches and stuff.
AIMI: Hey Hinawari! Come get a dip!
{The girls splash a bit of water on Hinawari.}
HINAWARI: Ugh, be careful! If you'd have splashed some on my notes, I would've killed you!
YASU: Eh! Don't splash on me!
AIHARA: Come down here, girl!
AIMI: It's gonna be lots of fun~!
HINAWARI: Fine, fine. I'm coming.
SHIN: Why are you avoiding the water so much?
YASU: Well... C-Cats despise water! I know that water doesn't corrode your skin, but.. My cat senses tell me that the water's secretly acid!
SHIN: I-I see.. so that's why cats hate water so much..
YASU: It's secretly toxic.. I don't wanna go near it.. L-Look at the way it glows!!
SHIN: That's just because the sun's light is reflecting on it..
YASU: I know.. it's just my cat senses.. M-Maybe you should go.. maybe hang out with Kuro and Rei over there in the water..
SHIN: Alright then.. Well, see you I guess.
YASU: Yeah... I'll just be busy building my sand fort.
{In the water.}
SHIN: Hey guys.
KURO: Hey Shin- Hey!!
{Kuro and Rei splash water at each other.}
FELIX: Hey guys.. decided to join in the fun!
KURO: Aha! Hey Felix! Just don't stay in the water for too long, ight man? You might get a cold.
FELIX: Yeah.. thanks.
REI: Take that!
KURO: Take it back!
FELIX: Ahaha...
SHIN: My turn!
FELIX: Me next!
{The four of them had fun in the water for a while..}
KURO: Okay, okay, that's it.. I'm tired. Ahaha!
REI: By the way.. where's Yasu?
SHIN: Oh uh.. too busy with his sandcastle.
FELIX: Aha..
SHIN: Hey uh, I'll go check on him.
KURO: Alright. See ya Shin!
SHIN: Yasu? Where are you?
SHIN: (I can't see him anywhere...)
SHIN: (Eh? What's this place behind here?)
{Shin enters a hidden place behind the trees..}
SHIN: Yasu?
SHIN: (An unfinished sandcastle.. but where's Yasu?)
SHIN: (Eh?)
{Yasu's tie floats atop the water.}
SHIN: ..?
SHIN: Yasu..?
{Shin steps closer to the water.}
{Shin reaches for the tie, when suddenly..}
SHIN: Eh?
SHIN: A-Ahh!!
{A hand emerges from the water and grabs Shin's hand, and starts pulling him underwater.}
SHIN: Mh!! Mh!!!
{Shin struggles while trying to get free of its grasp. His shouts for help don't reach anybody's ears as it is muffled by the water.}

{He gets dragged deeper and deeper into the water.. and eventually, Shin loses his consciousness..}

{Shin slowly starts to regain consciousness..}
SHIN: Mh...
SHIN: Ugh... where am I..?
{Shin wakes up in an underwater-designed room.}
SHIN: A-Am I underwater? I can still breathe..
SHIN: Wait.. Yasu-
SIREN: Oh.. are you awake?
SHIN: E-Eh?
SIREN: You took quite a while~
{The siren pins Shin to the bed and hypnotizes him.}
SHIN: Eh..
SHIN: (No.. stop! I.. Yasu!!)
{Shin somehow manages to break the spell.}
SIREN: HISSS... WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!
{Shin runs away as fast as he can.}
SHIN: (I need to save Yasu!)
SHIN: (B-But.. where..?)
SIREN: GET BACK HERE!!
SHIN: (Shoot..!)
SHIN: Yasu!!?
SIREN: ACK!
SHIN: Huh?
???: SCRAM!!
{Suddenly, the person transforms into some kind of fish. No wait, it looks like an eel.. Wait, it isn't.. What is it?}
{It sticks onto the siren and the siren starts shrieking in pain, trying to get him off.}
SIREN: GET OFF! GET OFF!!
{The siren's blood starts pouring out from where he stuck.}
SIREN: AHHH!!!
SHIN: Wait..
SHIN: (Is he a lamprey?)

{The siren falls to the floor as he sucks out her blood and bodily fluids. After he eats all he can of her, he lets go and turns back to normal.}
???: Hey.. did you just say, "Yasu"?
SHIN: Eh? Uhm.. yeah.. I was looking for him. He's my friend.
???: Oh? You're his friend too?
SHIN: You're friends with him too?
AKARI: Yeah. We just became friends today, actually. My name's Akari Ren, by the way.
SHIN: I'm Shin Michiko. And.. you guys became friends just today?
AKARI: Uhm.. tell me everything you know about Yasu first.
SHIN: Eh? Why?
AKARI: Because.. I need to make sure of something..
SHIN: Uhm.. Yasu acts like a child all the time..
AKARI: More?
SHIN: Yasu's the right hand man of this organization..
AKARI: Okay, that's it. Well.. I just had to make sure I wasn't exposing ourselves.
AKARI: Well.. I can't really obey Yasu.
SHIN: Why not?
AKARI: I'm kinda one of the failed experiments. Just like the other side of the organization, we have a master and a right hand man. So.. this organization's divided into two.
SHIN: I see..
AKARI: Anyway.. you're looking for Yasu, right?
SHIN: Yeah.. I am. Any idea where he could be?
AKARI: Well.. I'm guessing one of the bedrooms. Also, you don't have any powers, do you?
SHIN: Ah.. actually, I sort of do.
AKARI: Wait, you're one of the infected too?
SHIN: No, I'm not.. I'm not really sure why I have powers though..
AKARI: Well, you could be connected to somebody. That's the only possible explanation.
SHIN: (It's the only possible explanation.. but, who am I connected to?)
SHIN: Well, thanks for helping me. I'll be on my way now..
AKARI: Alright. See you!

{As soon as Akari leaves..}
SHIN: ..?
{Shin hears singing from one of the rooms.}
SHIN: (Someone's singing.. They're pretty good at it..)
{Before Shin knows it, he becomes hypnotized again and starts walking toward where the singing is coming from.)
SHIN: ..!
SHIN: (Cover your ears!)
{Shin covers his ears and manages to break the spell. After he puts his hands down, he hears a loud thud to the wall of the room.}
SHIN: ...
SHIN: (I don't know that much about sirens.. but... I know that if I break their spell, they'll die. Sirens are fated to live only until I escape them..)
SHIN: (Anyway.. I still have to find Yasu. Akari said that he might be in one of the rooms..)
SHIN: (But there's too many of them. I should just.. look everywhere. We can't be here for too long.)
{Shin opens a random room and sees..}
SHIN: Eh?
{The room's walls was covered with Yasu's photos and writings written with the weird substance.}
{The writings read..}

YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN
CURSE YOU AND YOUR SIBLINGS
ALL OF YOU WILL BURN IN HELL

SHIN: (What is this room? Seems like they hated Yasu..)
SHIN: (This room has all his photos.. Eh? What's this?)
{Shin takes a random photo off the wall and takes a closer look at it.}
SHIN: (Aww.. is this Yasu's baby picture? But.. who's the other one?)
{In the picture, there was another baby boy next to Yasu. The boy looked very similar to Yasu. Their faces looked a bit similar. But, the boy's hair was the natural brown color.}
SHIN: (Maybe I should keep this..)
{Shin puts the picture in his jacket's pocket.}
SHIN: Okay.. Yasu.. I need to look for Yasu..

{Meanwhile, at the surface..}
HINAWARI: Hey, has anybody seen Shin?

FELIX: No.. we haven't seen him. He said that he was..
KURO: He said that he was gonna check on Yasu.. but it's already been hours.
FELIX: It's already dark.
HINAWARI: ...
HINAWARI: Did you see where he went?
KURO: Well.. he went over there.. I think.
FELIX: Eh? No, he went over there.
REI: Are you guys blind? He went over there!
KURO: What? No, I swear I saw him go there!
FELIX: I'm pretty sure I'm the one who's right!
{The three of them start fighting. Their argument just keeps going back and forth.}
HINAWARI: ...
HINAWARI: (I'll probably just search for them myself.)

{Back underwater..}
SHIN: HELP ME!!
SIREN: SHHHAAAAA!!!
SHIN: I CAN'T USE MY POWERS...!! HELP!! AHAHH...!!
SHIN: DOOR! DOOR!
{Shin quickly enters the room and blocks the door.}
SIREN: GET OUT OF THERE!
SHIN: Pant, pant
SHIN: Exit.. exit.. I need to look for an exit..
SHIN: (There's a small hole in the wall.. I could probably fit in there..)
{As Shin hurries while crawling through the hole, the siren starts pounding harder and harder on the door, until it finally decides to give up and leave.}
{Suddenly, Shin stops crawling to a familiar voice.}
YASU: Pant, pant
YASU: I'm losing my mind.. I miss Shin...
SHIN: (Yasu?)
SHIN: Yasu! Are you there?!
YASU: Shin? W-Where are you?
SHIN: I'm in a hole in the wall!
YASU: Shin.. I can't use my powers..
SHIN: Hold on.. I'm coming!
YASU: Wait Shin! Don't-
SHIN: What-
SHIN: ..!
{The door suddenly opens, and Shin stops crawling to listen. Yasu becomes hypnotized and starts following and obeying the siren.}
YASU: Wait.. I don't want to leave. I-I... I wanna stay here with you.
SIREN: Don't worry, you're not leaving.
SHIN: (Yasu..!!)
{Shin starts pounding on his hand as he can't do anything to help Yasu.}
SHIN: Kh..!!
{Yasu and the siren leave the room.}
SHIN: (I have to follow them.)

{Shin makes it through the hole and starts looking for Yasu and the siren.}
SHIN: (Where did they go..?)
SHIN: Eh?
{Shin feels a presence pass by behind him, and turns around to check.}
SHIN: (I swear I felt something just now.)
???: {In a faint, distant voice} Help us..
SHIN: (I hear faint whispering.. Where is it coming from?)
{Shin follows the voice.. It leads him to an enormous room.}
SHIN: (This room is quite big.. If I'm not mistaken, this must be where the whispering's coming from.)
???: Are you a victim too?
SHIN: Wah!
{Shin then sees a bunch of ghosts around him.}
???: Oh our apologies, we did not mean to frighten.
SHIN: Who are you ghosts?
???: Ah well.. We don't quite remember anymore, I'm afraid.
???: We've been down here for like, years dude. Just floating away.. everywhere.
SHIN: I-I see..
???: Are you like us too? Just.. not dead?
SHIN: Uh.. yeah. I'm stuck here. I'm actually looking for my friend that fell victim to the sirens..
???: My, how unfortunate. Perhaps, we may be able to help you? What'd your friend look like?
SHIN: Uhm.. He's one of the infected.. he has cat ears and a tail.
???: One of the infected? Infected by what? Is there some sort of plague goin on on the surface?
SHIN: Ah.. I see.. You don't know anything about it..
???: What's happening?
SHIN: Uhm so.. he has light-brown hair.. and a green jacket. Kind of like what I'm wearing right now.
???: Oh, that gentleman? Why yes, perhaps we may have seen your dear friend. He was being lead by one of the sirens.. Unfortunately, our voices couldn't reach him.
SHIN: Did you see which way he went?
???: He went that way.. that horrid way.
SHIN: Horrid way?
???: Most of us were brought there to meet our demise. That room.. is not a very pleasant room.
???: Hurry along now, you must save your friend before it is too late.
{Just as Shin was about to leave..}
???: Hey now.. just hold on a second.
SHIN: Eh?
???: Now that we've done what you've asked.. wouldn't you do something in return? Like, free us from this pit of hell-
???: My, my.. let the boy go. We're already gone, his friend still has a chance.
SHIN: ...
SHIN: It's okay. I'll try to save all of you. As thanks for helping me find my friend.
???: Why.. you are such a sweet boy. Thank you.
SHIN: But first.. I'll find him. So he can help in freeing you guys.
???: Run along now.

{Shin goes to the room they told him where Yasu was, and only opens the door just a crack.}
SHIN: Kh..!
SIREN: Curse you and all of your siblings..
YASU: Seriously.. I.. I don't know what you're talking about.. Just.. cough kill me already if you want to..
SHIN: (Yasu... No no no no... Yasu.. no..)
SHIN: (No.. NO!!)
{Shin is reminded of Minako's death as he watches the siren abuse Yasu.}
SHIN: (No no.. don't leave me.. Not... again...)
SHIN: (Then.. do something about it! Don't just watch! Move! DO SOMETHING!!)
{Shin then breaks a nearby window and picks up one of the glass shards. Shin ignores his bleeding hand and sneaks into the room. Yasu notices him, but Shin gives him a sign to stay quiet.}

{Shin slowly creeps to the siren. Yasu's eyes go back and forth as he keeps looking at Shin. Then when Shin was almost there, the siren sensed him and immediately hypnotized Yasu. Shin leapt at the siren to stab it, and the siren did manage to block it, but Shin was able to surpass the siren's strength as it was quite shocked and the attack was a bit too sudden. Shin was then able to stab the siren in its neck, killing it. Shin stabbed it repeatedly just to make sure that it was dead and it would stay dead. But then, Yasu was still hypnotized, and he pulled out the knife from his pocket and pinned Shin to the floor.}
SHIN: Kh..! Y-Yasu!
YASU: How COULD YOU?!
SHIN: Yasu, snap out of it!
YASU: SHUT UP AND DIE ALREADY!!
SHIN: Yasu, please!
SHIN: (Ah.. wait.. I know what to do.)
{Shin took a moment to calm and regain himself.}
SHIN: Yasu.. please.. Don't do this..
SHIN: I love you..
YASU: Kh..!
{Yasu tried to strike Shin, but Shin dodges the attack and was able to stand up. But then, Yasu pinned Shin to the wall.}
SHIN: Yasu!
YASU: S-S... Screw you!! Stop saying nonsense things that don't make any sense!
SHIN: ...
YASU: Huh?
{For a millisecond, Shin hesitated, but eventually.. Shin suddenly pulled Yasu closer and kissed him.}
YASU: Mh..!
{When Shin let Yasu go, the spell on him broke and the two looked at each other.}
YASU: ...
SHIN: ...
YASU: ...
SHIN: ...
{The two are still processing what happened.}
YASU: Hey uhm.. you know, even though I didn't have any control of myself.. I still heard you.
YASU: I-Is.. Do.. Do you really like me...?
SHIN: Eh..?
{The two gazed at each other and stayed quiet for a moment.}
SHIN: Yeah.. I do.
YASU: R-Really?
SHIN: Mhm..
YASU: I-I..
{Yasu couldn't finish his sentence as he was too embarrassed. His mouth wasn't able to speak the words he wanted to say.}
SHIN: Uhm.. Yasu..
YASU: Y-Yeah..?
SHIN: Let's.. get going. We don't really wanna stay here for too long.
YASU: Yeah.. you're right.
SHIN: Also, there're others waiting for us.
YASU: Others?
SHIN: Yeah.. the other victims that died and couldn't leave.
YASU: I see... so you've actually met them?
SHIN: Yeah.. I asked them if they saw you and they directed me here. They also said that in exchange for helping me, I would also need to help them. I agreed.. and, yeah.
YASU: So, you're saying that we're gonna free them?
SHIN: Exactly.
YASU: Alright then.. let's go..
SHIN: ...
{Shin offers his hand to Yasu.}
SHIN: Let's hold hands?
YASU: E-Eh..? S-Sure..

{The two then walk outside the room to the place where the passed victims were.}
???: Oh, I see that you are back. And, with your dear friend too. I am very glad that you were able to save him. Truly, thank you.
SHIN: No problem..
???: So.. it's time for us to be released.
YASU: Hold on, hold on.. Important question; do you guys wanna pass on or you wanna be revived?
???: Why, it would be a delight to live in this world once again.
???: Hell yeah, bro! I'm frickin' ready, whatever it takes!
YASU: Alright then..
{Yasu takes out a siren's scale that he took from the siren, and uses his powers to release the victims.}
YASU: [This'll brainwash them, by the way. So, as soon as they're released, we're running far away.]
SHIN: [Alright..]
{As soon as the victims were released, Shin and Yasu ran far away from them, holding hands.}
{The two were walking to the exit, when they met a familiar face.}
AKARI: Hey guys!
SHIN: Akari! Hey.
YASU: Aka- wait, you guys know each other?
AKARI: Yup, just today. I helped him a little while ago in finding you. Of course, I was trying to find you as well. Glad that you found Yasu, Shin!
SHIN: Me too.
YASU: Thanks.. for trying to find me. Honestly, I didn't know what I'd do without you, Shin.
SHIN: Eh?
YASU: I couldn't think properly, I was just too.. scared. Only thing I thought of was how I'd get out of this and where you were.
AKARI: Welp, until we meet again, you two! This is my home, so I'll be staying here.
SHIN: I hope I can meet you again, Akari.
YASU: Maybe we can hang out sometime!
AKARI: Aha, that'd be wonderful! I can't wait to see you guys again. I'll see you guys someday!
YASU: See you someday!
SHIN: See you.
YASU: I promise I'll never try to eat another lamprey again!
AKARI: Ahaha...
{The two then made their way to the surface.}

SHIN: Y-Yasu! Hurry!
YASU: E-Eh? W-Wait, you're freaking me out! What is it??
SHIN: It's already dark! The others probably realized that we were gone!
YASU: Oh god.. you're right.
SHIN: Hurry! Let's go to the rooms!

{The two of them go to Shin's room and stay on the bed.}
SHIN: At least we aren't even wet.
YASU: Mhm.. now I have an even bigger reason to despise water.
SHIN: Aha..
YASU: So..
SHIN: ...?
YASU: Thanks for saving me back there, Shin.. They stripped me of my powers.. I was doubtfully hoping that somebody would save me.. Though, I didn't want it to be you because I thought you'd get hurt. Still, though.. I guess you saved me.
SHIN: ...
SHIN: You're welcome.
FELIX: {Coming from outside} Guys, I think I hear Shin and Yasu in the room..
KURO: {Coming from outside} Okay, we'll go check it out then.
SHIN: Here they come.
KURO: Hey, Shin! Bro, where have you been? We were literally looking for you everywhere!
SHIN: I've just been here the whole time.. Aha.. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys..
YASU: I guess we got a little bit carried away and forgot..
KURO: Nah, nah.. it's fine. It's cool that you two get along well!
YASU: [Ha, a little bit too much.]
SHIN: [Ahahah....]
KURO: Man, am I tired from frantically searching around for you two.. I'm gonna pass out.. see you guys tomorrow.
HINAWARI: I'm glad to know that you two are safe. Just.. don't disappear on us like that ever again, okay? The next time you do this, I might actually kill you.
SHIN: Okay, okay..
FELIX: I was so worried! Ahaha... Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
REI: Goodnight, guys.
SHIN: Night!
YASU: Well.. I'll just go back to my room now..
YASU: Unless, you wanna.. you know~
SHIN: ...!
YASU: Oh by the way, don't worry about my wounds. I can heal fast. Tomorrow, you'll see me completely fine!
SHIN: Alright, alright.. go to your room..
YASU: Alright! See you, Shin!
{Yasu leaves the room and Shin gets ready to sleep.}
SHIN: (So.. Me and Yasu are a thing now..? I wasn't expecting this today...)
SHIN: (Well... we'll see what happens tomorrow..)
{Shin then drifts into deep sleep.}
