Kanzaki fell asleep. A wolf approaches him. The beast tilts its head, looking at him with its deep blue eyes. It comes closer and looks at his back. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkz6o5sCfo
The wolf turns him around and slowly puts his feet on Kanzaki's back. The wolf leans in with his face and closes its eyes. Blue aura surrounds the wolf's feet. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G2PiFxA6E
Slowly, Kanzaki's bones reconnect, his back didn't hurt anymore. The wolf gets off Kanzaki and looks at him again. "Good luck..." the beast says. The wolf studies Remi and then nods. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzurdN2uAY
He lays Kanzaki down and runs away, leaving Kanzaki and Remi there... My head... It really hurts... I have to wake up and escape now... But I'm so tired... Kanzaki opens his eyes... To his surprise, Remi wasn't hurt. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZfUJYN5hn
Kanzaki groans, forcing his battered body to move. His trembling hands push Remi off him as gently as he can, wincing at every move. Her face is pale, her body unnaturally motionless. He looks at his hands and freezes. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9zGN0wyTX
The skin is gone. Torn. Blood oozed from the raw, exposed flesh, pooling around him in dark, sickening patches. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkwETsVLsV
He hisses in pain, as he moves his hands behind his back. If they touch the ground, it will cause more pain. But his mind isn't on himself. "Remi..." he whispers. His throat tightens. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEFNo87ZHl
Hesitation clings to him like a vice, but Kanzaki forces himself to reach for his phone. His fingers fumble at the cracked screen, managing to dial Akira's number. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaE1wATjXo
Suddenly, he feels it. A touch. His blood turns to ice as something cold wraps around his leg. His eyes widen as he sees her. There she is. The Yurei. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx1SYvh7vP
Her pale, skeletal hand grips his ankle. Her long nails were digging into his skin. Her red eyes glow under the curtain of black strands. They were burning with malice. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ335JG32SFH
"Stop..." Kanzaki mutters, trying to pull back. But his legs won't move. They feel heavy under her icy grip. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9VX4isVT
The call connects. "Kanzaki!" Akira's angry voice rings out.. "Why did you do all of this without telling me?! Where are you?" she asks, angry and concerned. His lips tremble as he tries to answer. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5rFe5FqzJ
"The... forest... Aki-" Before he can finish, the Yurei moves. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ght2GLjWB
Her skeletal fingers snatch the phone from his hands. Kanzaki watches in helplessly as she lifts it to her lips. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4YKWr4wj
"Goodbye," she whispers into the receiver. The line goes dead. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlo2z058m9
Kanzaki's breath hitches as the Yurei drops the phone. Her hand tightens on his leg, the pressure rising. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKto9IDoHp
"Don't you dare get near her," he growls, his voice shaking as he glares at the Yurei. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFGJGFTA4g
Her head tilts to the side as her neck cracked. Her lips twist into a smile, revealing jagged teeth. "Fumiko... Gin is waiting," he says, trying to distract her. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVz1mIj0Xj
The smile fades. "Three..." the Yurei whispered. Kanzaki's breath catches. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwb6jhepa9
Seizing the moment, he shoves her off with all his strength. Her grip loosens just enough for him to break free. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJizF8Fuqo
Without looking back, he stands up and runs away. Deeper into the forest... The trees blur past him. "Remi..." he mumbles through ragged breaths. "I'll come back for you." 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ245HgzywU7
Behind him, the Yurei stands still, her smile returning. She tilts her head towards the broken phone at her feet. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6d74Er1N
As the crimson glow of the red moon shines on her face, she lets out a low chuckle. "Run, little Kanzaki," she murmurs, her voice dripping with venom. "This is far from over." 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigLUGJGJ9I
Her laughter echoes through the forest as she turns, fading into the shadows, her bloodlust palpable beneath the red moon's glow. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjlcNRYyX2
Kanzaki falls to the ground as his legs give out. He pants, squinting his eyes. He hears people laughing... the sound came from every direction. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmZGNi7cOU
What is this feeling of unease? Why is my heart beating so fast...? Am I scared? Why did I go into the forest in the first place? Do I really think I can stop this all by myself? I can't go on anymore, but... I can't give up either. I have to do it. I have to do something. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirUz3PgQTY
He walks back to where Remi was and reaches out to grab his phone... eight missed calls from Akira and a message. He reads it out loud: "Kanzaki, what kind of dummy goes into the forest...? I'm coming, wait for me." 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcVT9NwHp1
He feels scared and relieved at the same time. He sits there, unmoving... 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUvZVjFtM5
Kanzaki looks at the moon. "The red moon marks her killing..." Who is the victim today? Mio... 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq6WwTxjwi
Kanzaki wakes up and looks at Remi. "Life wasn't worth much, huh...?" he asks. Remi is just lying there, her face pale, and there are marks on her neck from the tie. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEuOHLnoe
She doesn't deserve this... the Yurei just wants Kawasaki for Astaroth. It has been a while. He stands up and takes off his jacket as he realized how hot it was. Their weak spot is their face... Or light? 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt18MQeCtJw
He runs away, his footsteps echoing through the forest. He looks at all the villagers who were hung. He stops running when he hears someone step on a branch. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMAPdYVquJ
Kanzaki freezes in place, his breath catching in his throat as a low, menacing growl rumbles behind him. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyNvlYztXn
Slowly, he turns his head to find a white wolf just a few feet away. The wolf's blue eyes lock onto his. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMnwVYz83Z
For a moment, he feels like prey. The wolf's growl abruptly stops. It sits down, its eyes still fixed on Kanzaki, not blinking. Kanzaki feels uneasy. "What... do you want?" he asks, more to himself than the wolf. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qQhRdgImZ
The wolf tilts its head, as if it understands him. The wolf stares at Kanzaki's hand. Kanzaki hesitates but reaches out his hand. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBCsXeXwxg
The wolf sniffs his fingers before locking eyes with him again. Its gaze is intelligent, almost human. Kanzaki forces himself to pat its head, his heart pounding. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVGpd1Ak9y
When he steps back, the wolf stands and begins to follow him. "I don't have time for this," Kanzaki mutters, looking over his shoulder. But the wolf doesn't stop. "You're just an animal. You can't understand me," yet deep down, something about it felt wrong. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77nqt7fG55
After several moments, Kanzaki stops, turning around to confront the creature. "What do you want?" The wolf growls low again and sits, staring at something past Kanzaki. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqADRuSDaiw
He follows its gaze to a tree. It didn't belong there. The bark seems too smooth, too... different. "What the hell...?" Kanzaki whispers. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAl2OLUotS
The wolf growls louder now, snapping him out of his thoughts. Kanzaki clenches his fist and, unsure why, slams it against the strange bark. The impact sends a shock through his arm as the tree's color shifts: red, like blood oozing from a wound. 452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZTTepsOy
Suddenly, the wolf is gone. Kanzaki spins around, his breath quickening. The woods feel darker, heavier...
