OOC Episode Number: 027. Name: A Torturer’s Tale Chapter One: Morning of December 28th Match: No Match Note(s): Some development for Shizuku, as well as an explanation of how Rin replaced Hayley in her match at Raison D’etre 2’s Night 2. | “In my head it’s like I’m hiding a hurricane.” Citizen Soldier BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Last night was supposed to be a night of celebrations. From Charles winning his death match to me, Rin and Tabby winning the Trios Championships. But how can I celebrate? BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! With the thunderous hammering of Dylan Black’s baseball bat echoing through my ear? Or the crunching of shattering bones across my mind? Or even the image of Hayley’s bleeding, broken, body lying practically motionless in the ring being everywhere anytime I close my eyes? BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! Not that Hayley looks any better right now as she lays on this hospital bed with machines all around her. She is lucky to be alive…that is what they tell me. How is having a tube sticking out of her mouth alive or lucky? Why did I let Rin hold me back? Did I underestimate what E.V.E. stood for? Did I fail to comprehend Dylan’s desperation? Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! But why didn’t I do anything? Was I too afraid to do anything? When I first asked Hayley out I told her that I’d protect her…but I failed her. How can I be such a protector? She wouldn’t be in this condition if I was one…what am I really then? I could feel my phone vibrate so I pulled it out of my pocket to see a message. Rin Kubo’s Text “Any improvement on Hayley? Just letting you know that Kira has approved of me replacing her in our match tonight. See you at Saitama Stadium tonight.” Oh…the Sakura Tag League final…how can I even think about that? The one thing that matters to me, my one true happiness and love of my life, is in such a mangled vegetative state. As near dead as she could possibly be. All because I let her down as her trainer, partner and protector. Shizuku Yamamoto’s Text “None at all. Okay, see you there.” I sighed a little after sending that text and slipped the phone back into my pocket before returning my attention to my poor baby girl with a feeling of dampness across my cheeks. Shizuku Yamamoto “Please come back to me Hayley…” I barely manage to bring out while wiping some of the wetness off my face before bending down to carefully kiss my Hayley on her forehead. Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Please don’t leave me baby… |       |
