(Daiki POV)
That was fun, I actually love playing the villain…now that I turn around after dealing with the pesky little problems I remember that I need to deal with some 'friends'
The seal of hell was quite helpful in forcing the demon to do what I ask, also it gave me knowledge about how to close the fissure between hell and this place…
Now that I think bout it, it is called the seal of hell for a reason, heh.
I shadow stepped to see the unlucky ones that ended up here only to be surprised by having met a face I least expected.
I closed my eyes and saw only two dots…each on belonged to one of the girls, yet three girls were here…one is not branded…Haruka…
Looking at them from under the veil they are still unable to know who I truly am. So let's play with them for a bit shall we?
I grabbed the closest one…
Misaka, the school beauty, the haughty one, always looked down on me and humiliated me…I can't believe I had a crush on her…
Well time to test them.
"You smell delicious" I said while I held the girl by the choker, I got her closer to my face and before I could speak Haruka rose in her defense.
"Please stop!" said the class representative "She has done nothing wrong, let her go…"
The girl in my hand had tears falling down her eyes while she squirmed trying to escape…Haruna on the other hand began crying…god I am making girls cry…
No, keep it cool they need to know how much I suffered…they need to be punished.
"But she did! The day that you, witnessed the death of one of your comrades, the day that you participated in murder, all of you…you were cause to that one's dismay, and plight, his suffering and agony, WHAT SAY YOU IN YOUR DEFENCE?!!"
I roared and slightly released aura of imposing pain, only for a fraction of a second to add emphasis on my question, there is no way I will leave them without proper closure.
They only have once chance, answer right and they shall be spared but not pardoned, answer wrong and its literal hell that awaits them…
Misaka then spoke…
"I, was forced to-"
"WRONG!" I roared
Opening my mouth to consume her Haruka jumped at me screaming and begging for me to let her go
The moment her right hand touched my shoulder, an agonizing amount of pain rushed through my body.
You have restored a fragment of your soul
The original fragment had taken its place back in its rightful place.
Alien fragment has been pushed to the torrent of souls.
I began seeing memories of days where I was not present…memories of things that happened, the girls' suffering, their days at the church, the day they ran, the day they brought Misaka with them…how they felt vulnerable weak and afraid, how they met, and escaped the church together, how they confessed their sins to each other, the regret on their faces…the prayer for my soul…everything, even their capture, their feelings when they were treated as slaves…
Everything…Why? GOD DAMN IT WHY? Why, why, why?! Why don't I get to feel rage? Why don't I get to feel anger? Why don't I get to have my revenge?! Just because they suffered a little does it mean that my suffering has to be neglected?! Why?!!! Why can't I have the right to be angry at them, why can't I be mad and pissed GOD DAMN IT! What a cruel fate…
I let go of the girl in my hand, and she dropped gasping for air…my face was looking to the skies…where I thought about how unfair this whole thing has been…the days I spent in hell feel so empty now…all that pain is not even worth it…they atoned for their sins, they felt regret…I can't find it in myself to punish them…yet still, they shall not be pardoned…
I turned around to walk away from them, but I hear Haruka's voice when she said the words.
"Y-you…you went through all of that…Daiki…"
She looked to be weeping, sadness was drawn on her face when she registered my identity…it seems that it was due time, but honestly…I am feeling quite disgusted at this moment…mainly disgusted with my indecisive self…
