im staring into my mirror, looking at my reflection. i take mayumis headband out of my pocket and look at it
"im going to kill shadow for you" I'm talking to a headband, i dont know whats wrong with me. ive felt almost happy here and i dont want that to change, as soon as i step foot on that battlefield ill be back to square one, ill be a monster again. i take a deep breath and tie mayumis headband around my forehead.
im with my squad at our location where we're stationed.
"this is it" hayashi murmurs
"none of you assholes better die on me" ito says. i dont plan on dying, not until I've taken my revenge.
"is everyone ready" moritomo asks and we nod. "well then lets -" hes cut off by a loud explosion.
"the fuck was that!" ito yells out "we should go help"
"no we stay put, the enemies will funnel out of the village and then we'll kill them" moritomo says firmly. i dont like this, i manage to stay calm, and then people start to rush towards the exit of the village "ATTACK!" moritomo yells and then jumps out of hiding to face the people fleeing, i see on all sides squads leaving cover to enter the battle, something is wrong, these dont look like threats. the "battle" begins and the squads begin slaughtering the mist village residents, blood is everywhere. these arent enemies, these are civilians.
