Chapter 57: Past Trauma

Yuuto: Kira...we need...to go...

Yuuto uses his sand to drag himself and Kira away.

Nicolo: Oh I'm not done.

Yuuto feels an even more intense pain. It felt as if his skin was on fire.

Nicolo: You know, my ability can shoot pain throughout your body indiscriminately but it works a lot better on former injuries. Reawakening former pain is the job of a T.T.P.A. officer.

Kira: If it's just pain then I can deal with it.

She gets back up and slashes Nicolo across his chest. He touches his newly opened wound then licks his own blood off of his fingers, causing his wound to close up.

Nicolo: Did you really think a simple cut could kill me? To experience as much pain as I could ever want, I honed my regeneration to near instantaneously whenever I feel like it.

Kira goes to slice him again but Nicolo dodges and grabs her by her hair. He takes his finger and jams his sharp nail into her neck.

Nicolo: Scream for me. I want to hear that sweet scream.
