{ Still I'm begging for comprehension from the ones who rules us all.
A city infested by demons. The situation was worse than he had imagined, the park that was supposed to be a safe place was turned into ashes. An one sided massacre, and yet they were still searching for survivors.Â
Not because he wanted to do it, but because it was the right thing to do. Under orders from his best friend (not really orders, more like a plea for help. But his loyalty was unquestionable as always, even in such dire circumstances), he searched amidst flames and desecrated bodies. Surely there would be someone. He had killed the demons that started this (cellphone still safe in his hand, as he was not someone whoâd take risks), but refused to let his guard down.
If there were so many fires and disaster in the locked up Tokyo, how had they not run out of oxygen already? Believing that God would eventually save them, heeding His words⊠was something far too suspicious to him.Â
God never once helped them. He gave them (and by them, he did not include himself. Actually, it was one person and one person only) the idea.. and in a sense the means to. But once that was done, they were out on their own.
A cruel dog eat dog world. One that speaks the end of times, the definite fall of mankind.Â
Another explosion alerted him that the danger was not over yet. There were obviously other demons, be it summoned from dead peopleâs phones or simply individuals who wished to cause havoc running amok.Â
He couldnât trust anyone.
It was definitely dangerous.Â
He grasped his cellphone tightly, thoughts wildly coming and leaving his mind. He had to be alert, but Kuro was always someone whoâd overthink. Heâd always be suspicious, and even among their groupâŠÂ
⊠there was always room for betrayal. How ironic itâd be if he started thinking about this at a later opportunity.

He wasnât really expecting to actually see that someone survived this disaster. What he needed now was to approach the stranger and lead him back to their own group for now or let them go their way if they felt the need to⊠although he could feel something was off.
No, it was definitely off. To survive such a tragedy, no one could have this much luck. If they werenât all going to die anyway, the boy could almost call such thing a miracle.
Not that he believed such things really existed.
- ââŠHey.â
His appearance was certainly⊠different, too. This stranger seemed almost sick, as if heâd crumble to the simplest touch⊠a figure of decay. Perhaps it would have been better if he had never approached this person, after allâŠ? It was too late now.
- âYou⊠are you okay? We should get out of here.â
Although curt, he conveyed his message without fault. There was something else pressing on the back of his mind; not only they were easy targets now⊠he could feel it. He could sense it.
That danger was quickly approaching the two of them.
- âWe can have time for introductions later. You have to follow me, as strange as this can sound. You donât really have a choice.
Unless you want to die.â
Those monsters had come out of no where again. The area had been seemingly safe, not a single disturbance in visible sight for a good block or two...but just like every time before this one, they just appeared out of thin air and in a matter of seconds, the small groups crowded together exploded in fear and panic and were torn down soon after. Komaeda could only watch in complete stifled helplessness as those his age and younger were ripped to shreds and eaten, other times just killed in sport. These monsters had no real remorse--either that or humans' lives were nothing worth sparring (sort of how a walking pedestrian tromped over ants without much thought). It was that sort of mindlessness that made them a threat and it was no use struggling either. You could only accept death in that instance. However... They never touched him. They never approached him, and even if they did, their attention soon shifted to the person next to, or behind him. Komaeda was almost unwanted by the creatures, as if they could smell the reek of death on him already... Pitiful. He couldn't even die if he wanted to. He couldn't bring it onto himself or these monsters to get it over with.
 ââŠHey.â
The voice wasn't loud, but it was an address to him, nonetheless, weary teal optics making contact with dull grey. Wow, there was such... determination in those eyes; It really woke Komaeda up to the situation. The once distant and dull screaming from the victims around him was now piercing into his ears, the snarls and vibrant tearing of fangs into flesh making his stomach coil. Disgusting...
 âYou⊠are you okay? We should get out of here.â
 "Uh...Uh-huh..." right, that was probably the best choice. Get to a safe area. Run away. Rinse and repeat just as he had been doing for the past couple of days. But in what luck would someone like this come along to drag him away from danger? Why were people still attempting to save him...?
âWe can have time for introductions later. You have to follow me, as strange as this can sound. You donât really have a choice.
Unless you want to die.â
--If only this guy knew. But that was another story entirely. He could only do as he was told at the moment, nerves shaken to the point where his entire system was numbed. Could he even stand up? --Ah, yes, his legs were still functioning--Everything was in one piece. He was still alive. He felt like a lost pup, trailing after the heels of his mysterious savior, chuckling weakly under his breath all the while.
"Heheh... what a miracle... I'm so..."
