chapter 2: farewell Genji Taio

chapter 2: farewell Genji Taio

Jul 09, 2025

That big red eye started to move it's pupil.

What the hell is that thing?! Is it really an eye?! Am i seeing things?!

My thoughts were full of questions and i couldn't stop staring at the eye as if it got me all frozen.

The eyes's pupil was moving fast towards up and down, left and right as if it was looking for something.

Why does it feel like...

Then the pupil concentrated on me.

Is it looking for something? Or not...is it looking for me?

I could feel my shaky hands yet couldn't run away as if my feet were paralyzed there and i had known for sure, that eye was looking right through me.

But why was i it's target?! there were already so many people out there running and screaming from the top of their lungs yet i was all that eye could see.

Time had stopped, world had lost it's colors and pain found itself painless in the scar on my forhead because i could not feel any of these anymore, it was only one feeling that i could feel and that was for a fact a feeling that was called 'fear'.

Yes, i was never scared this much in my life before.

Nothing could distract me from that feeling more than a shaky weak voice coming from my right side.

“ughh.”

That was Sakura's voice.

I finally got a hold of myself and turned around to check up on her just to find her lying on the ground just like what happened to the other guy we saw in the other side of the street and i just realised Sakura also had some strange black smoke surrounding around her body.

“Sakura?! What happened?!”

I sat in front of her to get a closer look but it didn't take long enough until Sakura's body got randomly floated in the air as if she was as heavy as a paper book.

I grabbed her wrist and realised Sakura's body turned to a peach black color.

“i'll...i'll save you, hang in there.”

In that moment more black smoke from the direction of that eye came, covered Sakura's body and pulled her towards itself.

I couldn't let go of her wrist and was pulling her towards myself but couldn't compete with that black smoke's strengh so i started to lose her wrist little by little.

BANG!

Some strange sound came out of nowhere and Sakura's body got heavy again, she was dropped on the ground and the black smoke around her disappeared. I caught her before she touch the ground.

“That sound...what was that sound just now?”

Sakura's body was still peach black, beside her dark blue school uniform one couldn't see a single color in her body.

I was trying to figure out where that sound came from and where did it end up until i saw a curly blonde haired guy with a headband with a small purple flower tattooed under his right eye standing right next to us.

His mysterious purple eyes were full of empty, he was standing right before me and Sakura's uncouncious body with a gun in his left hand.

That was when i had an idea of what was going on.

“what...what have you done?!” his tone was full of anger and anexiety.

“relax, she won't die like this.”

Everything was confirmed for me and i could tell that guy shoot right at Sakura and that resulted in my anxiety and anger growing even more.

“so you...you shoot her!?”

My eyes were finally straightforward, no more fears inside because i already lost what was important to me.

That guy's attention was somewhere else though, he was looking at my bloody forhead, a round-shapped scar that was shining brightly.

He smirked and dropped his head and whispered to himself.

“so it's awakened...!”

He once again brought the gun back that he pulled away and clicked on the trigger for the second time.

BANG!

I got shoot, right in my chest but i couldn't feel anything just like the scar on my forhead.

Sakura was lying on my laps and i tried to keep that posture even though i was losing so much blood.

It's strange...i can't feel any pain...!

But i'm...

My memories flashed right before my eyes, what i couldn't forget was my memories with Yuji and Sakura, my only childhood friends that saved me from the depressing life that i had.

Tears started to drop from my eyes and this was simply the first time i showed deep emotions but it was too late.

In those last moments i thought to myself on how i lost so many opportunities in my life so i didn't want things to end like this.

If only i live one more time...i'll....i'll fix everything!!!

When my tears were dropping one after another i saw the blonde guy's icy eyes, looking at my deseperate eyes which were begging for life.

That blonde haired guy opened his mouth but i couldn't focus anymore since i was losing consciousness.

“farewell, Genji Taio.” were the last words i could hear before my eyes got all blurry and blank.

***

There was an all girl-school near that area and looked like one of the classe's light was still on.

It was because of a pink haired girl waiting in her classroom for someone.

“it looks like the rain wouldn't stop huh?”

“until when are you going to wait for your brother?” another girl entered the class and told her these words with a bothered face.

“but, he doesn't even answer my calls anymore so i'm even more worried now.”

The random girl that seemed like a close friend to her tried to convince her to leave the school so she came closer to make a logical explanation.

“listen, i know what you mean but-” she cut her own words there and made a different expression while looking at the outside of the window.

Then she pointed at that window.

“what is that thing in the sky?”

The pink haired girl's attention was attracted to the direction that her friend was pointing out.

“that eye shapped cloud in the sky!!!” they saw it too, the evil eye that turned everything upside down.


***

Two days passed, Tokyo was full of chaos but not for all part of the city, it looked like only a few parts have witnessed that eye.

When you turn on the TV the only things you can hear are the news of that incident from two days ago.

《So it looks like this might be the attack from terrorists but the police didn't confirm anything yet.》

《Could this be the attack from the UFO's and aliens? Still no confirmation from NASA as well.》

《There's still no contact from the area that was involved. People are worried for their families inside the mentioned area.》

《My son's job was there, we can't contact him anymore, his wife and little son are worried sick.》

The TV and social media was full of people losing their minds, and even foreign news channels were reporting this issue, for example, one of the biggest U.S channels 'CBC' reported about that incident:
《No one knows what's happening in Japan right now but they have reported that they sent hundereds of soldiers to the restricted area but they're still waiting for those soldiers to come back.)

Reporters also wanted clear answer from the officials.

“Mr Hayashi, any news from the army? Did they get any information from the inside of that area?” asked one of the hundreds of reporters that were surronding the president.

“no news yet. They didn't come back and we can't contact them anymore.” replied Mr Hayashi to the reporters but they weren't satisfied and asked more questions.

People's comments on social media showed their deep worryness towards the ones that were confined in that area.

《What if this incident start to happen randomly all over the world?》commented someone on the TingleApp.

《I don't want to die, i still haven't met my idols, hahaha》

Everyone were making different reactions, some made jokes and some of them still couldn't believe whatever the media was saying.

《Do you guys really believe what they're saying? They're just giving us false information to take our focus away from the main issues, don't be so stupid y'all.》

The world started to change little by little, everyone that weren't involved inside the zone couldn't stop talking about that incident that happened in Tokyo on 12th october.

But even after a few days still no news from the people of that area was updated, it was as if a big invisible wall was surronding a part of the city and turned it into another world.

Is that part of the city still on the earth? The unknowledgeness from what was on the other side was scaring the society even more because they didn't know what was to come.

《What is really happening to the world? Is the world finally ending?》
