"My goal from the start was not only to reveal the truth about Asahi, but I wanted to return everything to reality. If it is true that our memories were manipulated, then I will try to restore them too."
Takaya was surprised by Rin's answer, he didn't expect that Rin was aiming further ahead than him.
"I understand what you mean, but if it turns out that our memories can't come back, then will you accept the reality?"
Rin sat down and held Takaya's hand harder.
"Maybe it won't be easy to accept it, but... Before I knew all this, I already considered Asahi like my own sister... Not only that, I also felt that there was something that made me feel comfortable like I felt comfortable being by Vanny's side or you."
Takaya smiled after hearing Rin's thoughts. He finds Rin is ready enough to make a decision on her own,
"Alright.. I leave Asahi's case to you. But remember you will not do everything alone without me knowing…"
Rin excitedly smiled. For the first time, Takaya gave him the confidence to take care of a problem that Takaya had always kept to himself.
"Thank You…"
"No… Thank you, for bravely talking through this to me, and thank you for always being strong… I'm proud of you."
Takaya pulls her hand and hugs her, making Rin surprised at what her brother did.
"Fukasawa Residence - Asahi's Room"
The girl sat down on her retractable chair relaxing her body and mind. She closed her eyes, as if she was trying to see something in her head.
-
"Forget it, Asagi… There is no use hiding it anymore…"
A very calm voice talks to her inside.When she opened her eyes she saw a disintegrating body and soul.
"How longer you keeping my body like this-"
"I can't… I'm not ready yet…"
That nearly destroyed body is Asahi, where there is an explanation for her condition. While Asagi tries her best to keep Asahi from crumbling. She feeds Asahi's body with the warrior's power but her body is already on limit.
"Asagi… It's fate… and it's inevitable how much you are trying to avoid it."
"But…"
Both became silent when Asahi's head started to crack. Is like a ticking clock, every second means so much value for Asagi. She increase the output of the power for Asahi,
"Stop it… Enough.. This is it…"
"Shut up…."
"Hear me.."
"Shut… up…."
"Hear me Asagi!"
"SHUT UP!'
Both screamed so loudly, but that scream didn't end everything. Whatever Asagi holds inside her mind, she is still not letting go.
"Asagi, You said you won't take someone's life again, then stop taking mine…"
"Wha-"
"This is my life! Don't make it worse."
"Shu-"
"Please…. Let me go… I… I DON'T WANT TO FEEL THIS PAIN!"
In instant Asagi stops her flow of power to Asahi, Making her body starts to crumble more and more,
"Ahh!!"
"Stop!"
Asahi smiled while looking at Asagi,
"Sorry… But this is the only way… And your next step…"
"You.. Tricked me…" Asagi said while shedding tears.
Asahi lure her hand toward Asagi's face, wiping her tears and pull her chin up,
"Chin up, girl… Everything is going to be alright…"
Asagi widens her eyes after hearing Asahi. Who ever thought that is her last word before she perishes into ashes.
.
"No-" She tries to grip Asahi's hand but it already disappears,
Sad, she lowered her head, crying silently.
"Promise me, Don't ever run away. Face it, Protect them…"
Asagi suddenly laughed, nothing like she had ever laughed before. Sounded evil, and her aura began to come out from her body violently.
"I will."
