As he gently rested Nazuna’s head on the dust-filled concrete roof, Yuuto recalled her words about how there was no version of this ending well, and how she had never considered him a friend. “Hmph,” he grunted quietly, looking at her frozen, raging expression as she lay on the floor. He then positioned himself next…

“I agree. I also don’t like it,” Akito echoed reluctantly, while Gyouma vanished into the building. “I’d usually agree, but let’s examine the facts. I’ve seen where that Ugly Bastard comes from. It’s a huge building, probably loaded with cash. The son was competent enough to break into a secret laboratory… Their goal is questionable,…

A little while later… “Oh, there he is!” Nazuna called, spotting Yuuto entering the abandoned building with Hugh tied up and slung over his shoulder. Yuuto continued walking into the building, tossing Hugh into the room where Gyarune was bound to a chair. ‘No way… He actually got the old man…?’ Gyarune thought, his eyes…

Kaede felt unusually happy that afternoon. “So unusual for Hiroki… He actually bought us tickets to this dull place,” Kanoko blurted, resting her head on the table with a frown. “Come on, Kanoko, this is a gift from your little brother. He put his mind and heart into this! Show some appreciation!” Kaede said lightly…

The room was organized with fine, neat furniture and the blinds were drawn tightly, allowing no glimpse of…

“Hello?” Gyouma said, answering the phone as it rang. “Yes, is this Kayuri Matsumoto’s emergency contact?” a female voice asked in perfect German. Gyouma’s heart sank. ‘The hospital,’ he deduced. “What is it…? What’s Kayuri’s status?” he asked, struggling to keep his voice steady. “We’ve been trying to reach you for a few hours…” ‘Probably…

Yuuto had a fleeting thought as he screamed at Nao. “YOU WASTE OF SPERM. SELLING OUT MY MOTHER AND SISTER TO THAT VEINY TURD WHILE ALSO FUCKING HIM BEHIND MY BACK WITHOUT ANY SHAME,” Hiroki yelled out loud. He realized it was still him. There was no ‘somebody else’ taking over his body and actions.…

Some time before Yuuto started ‘interrogating’ Gyarune… “Alright,” Yuuto nodded as he sat down with the mad scientist inside the abandoned building. “So, it’s because I’m in someone else’s body?” “That is the only logical conclusion,” the scientist replied. “The TimeStop™ Watch emits a wave that affects the brain. It works on everyone. That’s why…

“WHO SENT YOU?!” Yuuto screamed, punching Gyarune in the face for the seventy-sixth time in the past thirty minutes. “I ASKED WHO SENT YOU!” He delivered another blow soon after. “YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHO SENT YOU?!” Yuuto yelled, punching him again. “Ahh… You psycho, just let me ta—” Gyarune groaned, spitting blood and…
