Mikoshimo: "I killed them all...

I tried to correct my mistakes, and I wish I hadn't...

What made things come to this?"

The psychiatrist: "And then what?"

Mikoshimo: "I don't remember anything."

The psychiatrist: "I think your condition is progressing now, especially since you've recognized the schizophrenia you have and started dealing with it."

[<4 years back>]

Mikoshimo: "The way you made these fried eggs is wonderful. Your father always told me you were a natural-born cook."

Akari: "I'm glad you liked it."

Their daughter comes out of her bedroom, looks at her father, and says, "Papa, good morning."

Mikoshimo: "Good morning, Sakura."

Sakura: "Where's my birthday gift?" she asked with a bit of anger and sadness.

Mikoshimo: "Don't worry, little one. I'll bring it with me when I come back from work," he said with a slight smile.

Mikoshimo looked at his watch and noticed he was late.

Mikoshimo: "Oh! I'm late for work. I need to go, my dear. I don't want any more trouble with this manager."

Akari: "Come back to us safely, my love," she said, smiling.

Sakura: "Don't forget the gift, Daddy," she said loudly.

Mikoshimo kissed his wife and daughter on the forehead and hurried out.

Mikoshimo arrived at the company and was sitting at his desk reviewing the company's finances. He noticed some strange numbers and some revenues that didn't match the expenses.

"Mikoshimo... come to my office," the manager said suddenly.

Mikoshimo thought to himself, "Here we go again."

He went to the manager's office, and when he arrived, the manager was waiting for him, extremely angry.

The manager: "What are you doing? Just because you're the best at working with me doesn't mean you can come late and not do what I instruct you to do," he said furiously.

Mikoshimo replied: "Why are you raising your voice? If I leave, no one else will be able to handle most of your work, and you won't find someone like me who tolerates a selfish boss like you," Mikoshimo said angrily.

The manager: "How dare you raise your voice at me? You'll work extra hours today to learn how to speak respectfully to someone above your rank."

Mikoshimo pulled out a chair, sat on it backward, and said with an evil smile, "How about I submit my resignation?"

The manager responded, "Fine, but don't think the company won't function without you. There are thousands of people who would love to be in your position."

Mikoshimo: "And how about I expose the financial corruption going on in the company? Or your tax evasion? Or even... the employees whose salaries you cut based on false data that the company is financially collapsing when it's actually doing just fine. Show me how you'll deal with the government, the police, and even ...your employees."

The manager pulled out a gun from the drawer and said, "I think you know too much that you shouldn't."

Mikoshimo stood up, raising his hand with his phone in it, and said with a smile, "And how will you deal with this recording?" He then pressed send and said, "Oops! I just sent it to fifteen other devices in different locations. Oh, and two of them are inside the company, listening right now. What do you think?"

The manager was frozen in place, unable to react.

The manager: "Don't mess with me, you arrogant boy. You know you'll regret this."

Mikoshimo laughed mockingly: "Try it, and it'll be your end."

Mikoshimo then left, but he stopped while holding the door and said to the manager, "Oh, and I'll be going home early. It's my daughter's birthday today, and I don't want to miss it."

He then left.

The manager sat at his desk, furious, saying, "Damn it, I shouldn't have hired him when he came begging for the job."

After work, he goes to the manga store to get the latest chapter of his daughter's favorite manga.

He climbs the stairs on his way to his apartment and then smells a foul odor, like rusty iron, as if he were in the middle of a pile of dead bodies . He feels a slight dizziness, then runs to his apartment, opens the door, and is shocked by the sight.

He sees his wife with half of her head blown off and stands there in shock, overwhelmed with fear and sorrow.

Then he hears breathing coming from his daughter's room. He rushes to the room and finds his daughter with her limbs amputated, taking her last breaths. Mikoshimo desperately tries to save her and stop the bleeding,

but then he feels something behind him—a sinister presence with a terrifying aura. He turns around to see a pale, beautiful girl with her clothes stained in blood, laughing in a frightening and hysterical way. She suddenly goes silent for a moment, points her finger at Mikoshimo's head, and he feels intense pain before losing consciousness.
