Lost in the mAInd.

Summary:

Before the start of the events of the game, the killer makes a very different choice of target.

Things don't quite go the way anyone would expect.

Also, uh, I changed the title because I noticed something with the same title was made before this. Oops.

Notes:

I have no idea what possessed me to write this.

It's cursed.
I'm so sorry.

I hope you enjoy it...?

Chapter 1: The Perfect Plan

Summary:

A prologue, of sorts.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Saito had a plan. He wanted his body back, and he was going to make the person who took it from him pay. He had been watching, and preparing for this moment. He was going to kill everyone this man cared for. One by one they would die, and he would feel the pain of being unable to save them. This glorious plan for unreasonable revenge was already set in motion with the current body he was in.

Shoko Nadami was already dead. In her place, was Saito Sejima, inhabiting her body, and he was pissed.

During the body swap, he had experienced her dream. According to the manual, it was called a “somnium”, though Saito really didn’t care. Out of boredom, he decided to explore and try to break the so called “mental-locks”. During this, he discovered an interesting girl. Mizuki Okiura.

Mizuki, he discovered, was taken in by the man who had stolen his body. She was 12, the same age as he was when he killed Manaka. Saito wanted to break her, to traumatise her, yet… During his research, he noticed something fascinating about the girl. She was strong. He was curious, and he wanted that for himself. Why not swap into her body? He’d be able to traumatise the thief and kill someone who would be a thorn in his side at the same time.

It was the perfect plan.

Notes:

So, the cause of the divergence?
A psync.

Sorry for the short chapter.
