The Daily Life Of Sora

Tweet~! Tweet~!
I could hear the birds singing and the loud sounds of the city as I woke up today.
What to do… What to do…
So many things to do…
Ring! Ring!
"Who is it?"
"...It's me…"
"I see… It's another one this time?"
"...Yes we changed last night… I got the instructions from the previous…"
"So. When are you going to do it?"
"...We are planning for next month…"
"I see… If that's all you had to say then goodbye…"
"..."
Click!
…
Let's get going…
I washed up and headed out.

Ding!
"Thank you for your purchase!"
I bought a breakfast meal at one of the convenience stores near my apartment.
"Mmm… It's still good even after eating for a while…"
How is onigiri so good I wonder?
I took my last bite of my fifth onigiri and started looking around at the busyness of Tokyo.
People were all over the place. White collar workers rushing to their work, students getting to their schools, tourists looking at Tokyo, and much much more.
"Another murder scene was found just last night as eye witnesses claim…"
The large screen showing the news feed talked about another copycat murder. Was that one mine or was it another person?
I killed so many people that it might have even surpassed Kazami-san.
But… that's not good.
I'm getting nowhere…
I need Kazami-san to tell me…
Is this what Yuuki-kun felt when Kazami-san was making him do those puzzles?
Hmm…
I looked up to the sky. I changed my name when I left on my journey. Sora. Meaning 'sky'.
Hah. Am I getting sentimental since it's almost over?
Just keep going…
.
.
.
"You were quite the scumbag huh?"
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
I had quite the bad habit of making 'designs' while my victims were alive. While the screaming was a bit annoying it eventually just became white noise in my ears.
Snap!
Ah.
Did I kill him?
…
I guess I did.
Well time to finish this I guess…
What do I feel?
What do I think is the answer to all this?
I… don't know…
Always, my head comes up blank with no answer to those questions…
Hah… I'm so sick and tired of killing people… Is this even the way? I mean Kazami-san found her answer through this way so it must be right… right?
…
Only a month…
Just one more month…
I'll finally have my answer…
Huu…
.
.
.
I was at the park again…
Why did I come here?
I don't know…
I'm so confused…
My head…
My head… it's… so foggy?
I don't know…
I'm close…
I know I am…
Please…
Let this hell end…

"Hey you guys… Tell me something you guys like…"
This memory?
"Something I like?" Yuuki-san said…
"Why all of a sudden?" Technician-san said it with a very tired look… I remember it clearly…
Click!
"Hmm…"
"For some reason I want to make it a happy time now." With Kazami-san on the top of the stairs…
"When talking about things they like, no one can be unhappy right?"
"Technician, Koto, Sora, what do you like?"
"I like bathhouses, even though you're not alone, the feeling of separation from other people is nice."
"It's my dream to open my own bathhouse." I remember how it was out of character for Technician-san to be so happy about something…
"That's wonderful."
Click!
"What about you Koto?"
"I like music, there's an American rock band called R.E.M. If I didn't have their music I might not be alive."
"That's nice. Play a song of theirs sometime. Be it on a violin or piano."
"You know I can't play violin."
"Then I'll teach you until you can."
"What about you Sora?"
I remember I was about to take another photo until Kazami-san called out to me.
"Me…?"
"...I suppose I like…"
.
.
.
"Hah!"
It was pitch black…
Did I fall asleep on a bench at the park?
Was I too tired?
Hah…
I got up from the bench and stretched.
"Haaah…"
I was too careless…
Let's get something to eat…
Luckily there was a convenience store near me.
Ding!
"Welcome!"
I started to look around…
…
How does this always happen?
I somehow always end up at the section where they sell onigiri…
I even went to every other aisle and looked at every other food sold here…
Hah…
Let's see…
Tuna… Plum… Vegetable?... Beef… Chicken…
…
"...C-Customer are you sure? This is quite a lot."
"Yes…"
"Very well… It'll be 1,570 yen…"
"..."
"H-Here…"
Chaching!
"T-Thank you for your purchase!"
Ding!
Rustle…
I checked my bag…
I bought every flavor of onigiri they had…
It was ten…
Hah…
Let's go home…
.
.
.
Ting!
I turned my desk lamp on.
I liked to work in the dark without any lights so I even had blackout curtains on all the windows.
I moved my polaroid out of the way and turned on my laptop.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Hmm…
Oh!
Someone finally decided to get a photo huh…
It's been a while…
Let's see…
A wedding photo?
Pass.
Boring…
No one else…
…
Let's just go to sleep…
Haaa…
