chapter 2: farewell Genji Taio

chapter 2: farewell Genji Taio

Jul 09, 2025

The thing that i was witnessing looked like if the moon would come towards the earth while burning under fire.

Nothing ordinary i'd say. It looked like a scene coming out from the end of a world type of movie.

and more importantly the moon also coexisted with the other one that appeared out of nowhere which kind of looked like an eye...

I didn't know why but the black hole in the middle of that thing made me think this moon shaped creature in the sky was nothing but a really giant eye, looking at us and the chaos that it caused.

People around that area started to react differently, some screamed, some started to run, some stood there and brought their phones out to take videos and photos to share it on sns to get views and likes as much as possible.

Is this real? I'm not being delusional right?!

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

That evil eye 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 then 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 thing 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 sensations 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 a few moments ago 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 book's paper.

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

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

What am i even saying? saving her? from what? How?! i couldn't even save myself
In that moment...

Even running away and leave everything behind crossed my mind for a second there, yet i dare to promise her something like this?!

When i was struggeling pulling Sakura towards the ground, more black smoke from the direction of that eye came and covered Sakura's body to pull her towards itself.

It was as if it was that hole's power...

I didn't want to let go of her wrist and was pulling her towards myself but couldn't compete with that strange pull that was taking her away with a greater strengh.

BANG!

 Then a sound like that came out of nowhere and Sakura's body got heavy again.

 she dropped on the ground and the black smoke around her disappeared. I caught her mid air to protect her from the fall.

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

Sakura's body was still peach black, beside her dark blue school uniform nothing else was visible in her skin.

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 and 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 finally realised what was going on.

“what...what have you done?!” my 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 Sakura with that weapon in his hand.

“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, pointed it towards me 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.

 It felt so numb

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

Then tears started to drop from my eyes.

I see...this is the first time that i'm feeling like this...

REGRET!!!!

I wish i lived better than this...up until now i didn't like my birthdays and avoided participating in anything that was team work because i hated being surrounded by people...

I don't know if this is reality or just a dream but i promised to save Sakura...i proised to meet up with Yuji to play the brand new game he just bought!!!

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 get all blurry and blank.
