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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRaLYzq4ui
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh2O8SoT4r
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotSr5vGRM5
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S1sNX6BvX
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKCFqGjzwL
The skin is gone. Torn. Blood oozed from the raw, exposed flesh, pooling around him in dark, sickening patches. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvcpeeNHJP
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4ZXMuKFrE
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6BuiWKWTq
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEo5IFIJbc
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV0jsOaspV
"Stop..." Kanzaki mutters, trying to pull back. But his legs won't move. They feel heavy under her icy grip. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnFnlIKaVl
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqZy8jfNEk
"The... forest... Aki-" Before he can finish, the Yurei moves. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91BLKtSEWs
Her skeletal fingers snatch the phone from his hands. Kanzaki watches in helplessly as she lifts it to her lips. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfCr0OS5Ed
"Goodbye," she whispers into the receiver. The line goes dead. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTbvnPYpSL
Kanzaki's breath hitches as the Yurei drops the phone. Her hand tightens on his leg, the pressure rising. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpnTIqbvpQ
"Don't you dare get near her," he growls, his voice shaking as he glares at the Yurei. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDhBjRnZI
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiwuLlgsbh
The smile fades. "Three..." the Yurei whispered. Kanzaki's breath catches. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWuoVGkGtm
Seizing the moment, he shoves her off with all his strength. Her grip loosens just enough for him to break free. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ldfmTCfa
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." 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2vm3X4KM9
Behind him, the Yurei stands still, her smile returning. She tilts her head towards the broken phone at her feet. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxtIHHFqiu
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." 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI5j5C9nRR
Her laughter echoes through the forest as she turns, fading into the shadows, her bloodlust palpable beneath the red moon's glow. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMca1uxr9lX
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRj4ndWarT
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTFLbLTVXD
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." 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmVXH1ilwu
He feels scared and relieved at the same time. He sits there, unmoving... 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGbs6MD4g
Kanzaki looks at the moon. "The red moon marks her killing..." Who is the victim today? Mio... 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuqqFQrkIm
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaoXFMIJKi
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? 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDxs8Kn3Er
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GQBTJN1pf
Kanzaki freezes in place, his breath catching in his throat as a low, menacing growl rumbles behind him. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIdsWuYImd
Slowly, he turns his head to find a white wolf just a few feet away. The wolf's blue eyes lock onto his. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem6J17LaoK
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlXgXz2n1Y
The wolf tilts its head, as if it understands him. The wolf stares at Kanzaki's hand. Kanzaki hesitates but reaches out his hand. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhqvCkKid6
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUeEijgjX4
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNssAgXaxw
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gH2guO4hu
He follows its gaze to a tree. It didn't belong there. The bark seems too smooth, too... different. "What the hell...?" Kanzaki whispers. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zCDxppoFQ
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. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2QKzFVGGm
Suddenly, the wolf is gone. Kanzaki spins around, his breath quickening. The woods feel darker, heavier...
