Corruption.

Christopher gets up early arriving on scene completely unguarded with anything, "now I Just wait." he smirks, the plan fine tone to go well. "throw them apart and Stab her."

The Skips pastime to when Tsugumi and Ayase are goofing around Souta present in front of a camera Noticing. A hat he jumps and grabs it.

The rolling of wheels coming up Tsugumi and Ayase Souta pass back her hat. Ayaka covers her face with it, Tsugumi rolls away with her.

Finding them completely Isolate, he acts out the performance. Jumping down his Kicks Tsugumi back, Freezing Ayase he turns the wheelchair, a mad smile across his face Tsugumi eye narrow.

"Who are you?" Christopher glance up. "hmm" A blade pierce through Ayaka's heart. Tsugumi Heart stops. "Ayase?" her hope falls. nothing coming back.

"Hmm, isn't this normal?" He says a "Hch" Escapes Tsugumi refusing to accept it "AYASE!" she scream. nothing replies a voice cutting into her. "Nobody can hear you!"

Ayase's head falls forwards, Tsugumi eye Widen Fear overtaking her "NO!" She shakes her head "I thought you were always alone." Christoper States.

Tsugumi stops her eyes wide for a brief Moment Christopher's eyes widen. Tsugumi Sucked into the illusion as Christopher disappears phasing out.

Leaving Ayase's body, their the sword slips out, clasping against the blood coloured water. Tsugumi Confused Bodies appear all around her. "After all, didn't all died"

Her eyes widen. "AAH!" She screams, Clenching her eyes shut She Trudges towards Ayase '𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒐 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒆.'

Christopher smirks. Tsugumi Makes it to the Chari Grabbing her, she shakes Ayase "Ayase, Ayase!" she grinds her teeth slapping Ayase.

Nothing responds. The chasmic emptiness finally reaches her. "Huh." she looks around confused." Shouting anything that comes to mind, "GAI. SHU INORI. SHIBUNGI!"

Another whisper voice enters her ears. "They all died, remember?" Mad giggles resound afterwards. '𝑵𝒐, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏?'

Another 1 attacks her ego "didn't you fail." it says referring to the nonexistence incident where she failed to hack a camera resulting in all her friends being captured and executed life.

Ayase sinks down into the blood coloured water. She grabs at her arm. "NO!" Pulling and pulling the body disappears everything disappears

A black surrounds her. "You've always been alone."She looks for anything. The black like ink. As it drags her down when she tries to sprint in any direction.

Billions of Images surround her as the world is stormed and destroyed by the primers, the aliens numberless. "Huh?" another voice rings out "IT'S ALL YOU FAULT YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE!"

She backs up, hitting a wall behind her made from nothing. She looks the direction Ayase Smiles at a version of her She Bangs on the wall "merely a Puppet to throw away."

It says "Gai never cared, Nobody did Not when you were an orphan, not now. YOU miserable, Wretch, with your stupid hacking. you got everybody kill from a single screw up."

billions more overwhelm her Christopher simple watches emotionless "NO STOP IT I DIDN'T DO IT I DID NOTHING!" Christopher nods "you did your single screw up lead to the Death of Gai Even Ayase wasn't spared."

A head stretches down to face her. "You Kill them all. Everything was you." She forced to stare at billions more images of thing she doesn't even remember "YOU SEE HERE!"

she flinches "YOU COULDN'T EVEN SAVE A CHILD YOU TRULY DESERVE TO DIE!" Christopher had made an exact duplicate of her to take her place Ayase brought to life with no memory of the event.

She Curls Up in the utter darkness "THERE NEVER WAS A REASON FOR YOU TO LIVE YOU LEECHING WHORE!" the playbacks of nonexistent physical abuse. Consistent.

"You're just not cut out for it." failing an interview, then another everything is forced upon here. Christopher simple watching it. '𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆.'

"YOUR SUCH A LONELY BITCH BEGGING FOR ATTENTION EVEN YOUR VOID SCREAMS ALONE!" She Tightly closes her eye, the barraging voices constant.

Breaking her down as all her firewalls and even Lies are broken. She Snaps as her eyes dull the constant barrage to munch at once. '𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒎 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆.'

Christopher lands in front of her. Grabbing her, he forces her eyes open. "You're right. Look at how happy they are without you. It shows a false image of the group laughing happily Ayase alive and well. "If it wasn't for you, they'd have survived."

Christopher smiles brightly at her. "So rest easy. Knowing not even one grieved for you." She breaks tears streaming out of her eyes in an instant. The last of her hope crushed.

She smiles through the tears. "No need to lie to yourself anymore." he press her chest. The Gaia Crystal resonates with the 1 in his hand, absorbing it. Tsugumi is taken into a cocoon, the breathing live around her completely ridiculous "ya know, I really hated that."

He places his palm against the Cocoon, her prior Black hair changing and shifting. He grins "though I didn't expect an instant burst of Vitality quite on that scale."

"She seems to take a humanoid form good enough." he leaves the cocoon hidden underground within Thurlein. "Adala, you Can come out now. You're not very good at hiding."

She jumps down, her long snow white hair blending with her Crimson eyes. Wearing an adapted Dress more suited for combat, she shifts forming a triangle with her arm.

"that was brutal, you know." Christopher glances at her. "Did you expect anything less? Even I hated doing it, but I couldn't just activate it since that would make 2 souls in one."

Adala narrows her eyes. "Still brutal. You force all her trauma and stacked her insecurities. Well, forcing a reality that didn't exit onto her 100 times."

He shrugs "not as brutal as what I did to Mado Akira." Adala sighs, "I don't know what you did to her." Christopher smirks "broke her in seconds from a repeat of a billion of times in nanoseconds."

Adala shivers. "I can't image that kind of strain. What is she, anyway? That life burst wasn't normal?" Christopher shrugs. "supposedly the 3rd Yandere, I'm supposed to have Gaia."

He shrugs. "Argh 2 is bad enough. Aria constantly trying to fuck me and Akame, not exactly Subtle about it either. Another 1s going to break me at some point."

Adala snickers. "My, you've been on quite the adventure, haven't you?"
