Prologue: Mad World

What kind of ending was this?

It was filled with nothing but confusion and gore. Depression - insanity.

" I hope.. Because of this, you'll suffer, " Mion whispered through chapped lips. Her hands began to tremble as violently as her coughing, yet she stayed standing.

She felt light-headed. A little cold too.

" Your insanity.. It should.. Should eat you alive! "

A Shinigami's laugh arose from a being that used to be human.

" Too bad it already did, love. The moment A decided to commit suicide is when I lost a screw in my head! " He laughed. " This isn't completely my fault, don't you know, Mion? "

Playing innocent was his strongest acting point.

" This is your fault too, Mion, my lovely. "

The monster's eyes widened, staring into space. A grin replaced his fake pout.

This look.. Sent chills down Mion's spine. She wanted to look away, but found herself unable anymore. It was even a miracle to know she was still standing.

" Yes.. This is all your fault. "

Mion thought to herself when the opportunity came. As the man was stitching words together in his head, she tried picturing the little orphan, A.

His face was fuzzy in her memories. But it was there.

" .. It wasn't my fault.. "

" It was... It was! "

B slammed his foot on the ground, which surprised Mion enough that she finally fell over.

She heard him laugh again.

" Mion, oh, my love, Mion! " He sounded excited. " Your numbers are going. Your numbers are disappearing. "

" My numbers.. ? "

Mion felt numb.

B crouched down to play with the locks of his lover's hair. He hummed a deadly song to himself, waiting for the numbers above the girl's head to completely fade away.

" I hope you disappear knowing it's all your fault. "

" I hope you disappear realizing how.. Stupid you're being.. "

" Aha! I'm amazed, my Mion, can still speak. Your numbers make it seem like you have no more energy. "

He was right in a way. She could barely see or hear anymore.

" You're insane.. ! "

B smiled, tugging a strand of hair. His voice thick with malice, " we've established that, darling. "

It didn't hurt. But it was far from comfortable.

The entire situation was far from comfortable.

What kind of ending was this?

A not very good one, that's for sure.

Without being able to utter another word, Mion silently fell limp. Her heart finally giving in, she died in that very instant because of blood loss - suicide.

" Mion... Where are you? Where are you going? "

And from that very same monster that wished upon this ending, could you hear faint whimpering. He fell to his knees and cried. He cried, not understanding why this was happening.

Never letting the truth seep in - to get this mad world - you'd have to lose everything. Your sanity and lover. And that one soul that'll never get the chance to truly live their life.

Hope you guys enjoyed the prologue!

There's more to come in the nearby future, so stay tuned! :D
