Chapter Text
Toono couldn't see anything at all. It was just completely dark. He took a few steps forward, a noise similar to high heels clacking on tiled floors echoing in the darkness. "Takashi." A voice called out. Toono recognized the voice. It sounded so familiar to him. The traumatized child turned around, only to be greeted by the faces of his parents, both looking rather displeased.
Toono blinked. He didn't understand what was happening. Timidly, he reached out to touch the face of his mother. "M- Mom?" Toono said, looking at his mother's displeased face. His father slapped his hand away as soon as it got close to his mother's face.
"How dare you." Takashi's father said. The poor child looked confused, not to mention startled. "Wha- What?" He said, his gaze fixed on his parents. "Ungrateful brat." Takashi's mother spat, her face distorting in anger.
Takashi looked at his father, who's face was filled with rage. Blood began to trickle down his mother's face, wounds beginning to form on her face. Takashi's eyes widened, and he took a step back, turning to his father. "Dad, m- mom's ble- bleed-"
The king of stuttering gasped, cutting himself off, as his gaze landed on his father. Takashi's father's neck had snapped to the side, blood trickling down the side of his head. Both his mother and father looked severely injured.
Takashi stumbled back, falling onto his butt. "It's all your fault Takashi." The poor boy's mother said angrily. Takashi was confused, stunned, even. He didn't understand what was happening. "Huh?" He said.
The brunette's father seemed to be glaring at him, even though the man's neck was snapped to the side, away from Takashi. "You killed us." Takashi's father said. The small male didn't understand what was happening. Why were his parents blaming him for their deaths? He hadn't done anything.
"N- No, you two d- died in a car cra- crash." Takashi said, his voice a little louder than normal. His parents seemed outraged by this. "WE DIED COMING HOME TO YOU!" His mother shouted. Takashi looked at his father, who also yelled at him. "WE DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!" The poor, traumatized male looked down at his hands, which were now covered in blood.
"N- No, I..." Takashi said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Why are you gonna hurt me, Taka-nii?" Someone said. The voice clearly belonged to a young child. When Takashi looked up again, it was his new family standing there. Haku, Hachi, Junpei, Aiko, and Matsumura. It was obvious that Junpei was the one that had spoken.
Takashi stared at his new family, shocked. Junpei was covered in blood, his nails all missing, his eye sockets empty, his throat sliced, and his torso cut open neatly, all of his organs missing. Hachi looked like they'd been strangled, their head completely shaved. Matsumura and Aiko had a hole in the center of their foreheads, blood trickling down the center of their faces. Haku's arms and legs were twisted in ways that weren't physically possible, clearly broken. He'd been scalped, but the worst thing was that there were rats crawling all over Haku, as if trying to rat him alive.
"It's all your fault, Takashi." Haku said. Hachi glared at the small brunette, Junpei frowning as he held Aiko's hand. Takashi opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He was too shocked, and horrified, to speak. "It was a mistake to adopt you. I shouldn't have ever brought you into my family." Matsumura said coldly. Aiko seemed to try to speak, but all that came out were incoherent noises Her tongue had been cut off, leaving her unable to make any coherent words.
"Murderer." A voice from behind Takashi said, the voice clearly being Yacchan. Takashi could hear the rest of the people he considered to be friends speak up, throwing insulting words at him. "Killer." Akemi said. "Useless." Tamura spoke. "Traitor." Yuri spat. "Dirty." Shikatani muttered. "Liar." Itome murmured. "Demon."
Jimmy whispered. "It's all your fault." Kashima said.
Takashi looked back down at his hands, which were still covered in blood. They all just kept repeating the same thing over and over again, his new family joining in, and his dead parents doing so as well. The traumatized brunette just sat there, shocked, and confused.
"He's going to kill all of us because of you." Takashi looked up immediately as he heard Gamma's voice, staring at the adult. Everyone else was gone now. It was silent again, other than the sound of his own breathing.
"He's coming for you, Elwood. He's going to slaughter us. It's all your fault." Gamma said. The silver haired male didn't sound displeased, nor did he sound angry. He didn't even sound upset, nor disappointed. He sounded like he was telling Takashi what would happen.
Takashi, the poor boy, stared at Gamma, too shocked to say anything. Just like that, he was alone in the darkness again. No one could be seen or heard.

"Elwood! Elwood!" Gamma said quietly, gently shaking Takashi awake. The mayor of stuttersville shot up in his bed, gasping, and breathing heavily.
"Elwood? Something wrong?" Gamma said, confused. Takashi hugged Gamma tightly, beginning to cry. "I'm s- sorry Ga- Gamma." The minor said, clinging to Gamma Ashe sat in his bed, crying.
Gamma looked taken aback, but he hugged the crying child back, rubbing circles on his back. "Shh, shh. It's okay. I'm right here Elwood." Gamma said softly, letting Takashi cry into his shirt. Takashi himself, just hugged Gamma tighter, not wanting to let go.
