As soon as I get conscious, I hear a banging on the door. I opened my eyes, surprisingly I was in Kaifuku National Hospital. What happened?
Shinji: Who's that?
Rio: It's me, Rio! How's my little tweety bird doing?
Rio Zaraisu, my foster parent, he's my step-dad, along with Kurosaiko Zaraisu his wife. He's one of the heroes in the City, known as "Zoa", his eloquence is Zodiac.
This world's people use a power called "eloquence", for either bad or good.
Rio: I'm here with Antantaru and Mako.
Antantaru: Better not make any loud noises here, Mako.
Mako: You usually start it, Coal…
Shinji: Shut your mouths!
Antantaru: It's your fault, Hot Head.
Rio: Woah, Woah! Calm down, young lads!
Shinji: Tch, these two.
Mako: Sorry. . .
Antantaru Oshigawa, a 16-years-old male, and Mako Kyouhari, a 17-years-old male, Antantaru's frenemy. Oddly, I'm the only one Mako apologizes to, I don't know why.
Kurosaiko: Shinji?
Shinji: Kuro-san… What did I do?
Kurosaiko: You… were asleep.
Shinji: Then?
Rio: Your eyes opened and turned black, all of a sudden you stop breathing, your eyes were still open and black.
Kurosaiko: Tell us honestly, Shin… What did you see?
Shinji: A child... She looked like me… She was dressed very elegantly in white and holding a teddy bear and match stick but she was crying…
Kurosaiko: Then? What was happening?
Shinji: A mansion was burning behind her, then she said "Help"... Then she was laughing all of a sudden, her eyes turned black and everything did turn black.
Kurosaiko: Mhm… What else?
Shinji: She asked me "Do you know who you are?", then said, "You're me"
Rio: Mhm… Tell me more…
Shinji: She said loads of kinds of stuff like "We're monsters", "I know, YOU know who and what you are" and "You know you hear the truth most darkly right?." something like that.
Kurosaiko: According to your diary, "Dreams", that child has been in your dreams for a week?
Shinji: Yeah…
Antantaru: It's also that you saw yourself dead in bed…
Mako: Dead as in asleep…
Rio: The last page says "Who am I? What am I?" So…
Shinji: Can I have alone time?
Rio: We'll be leaving.
Mako: Take care, Shin-chan!
Antantaru: Ooh~ My void senses something~
Shinji: Tch… Maybe I'll just go to sleep.
While sleeping I hear a strange voice...
???: Well, well, well~ You're back… Tatsuo
Shinji: Who… Who are you? Where am I?
???: You shouldn't know… Who I am Tatsuo.
Shinji: Who the heck is Tatsuo?!
???: Oh my! Seems like you don't know yourself… What a big shame.
Shinji: Ridiculous! How could I be… Tatsuo?
