Saw someone do this with their seiyu and so I was compelled to do the same for the dub. Not 100% sure on one or two VA’s but whatevs. I’ll fix it later if I’m wrong about anyone.
Last one done! I have a few more paired up, but I don’t really feel like drawing them. Also, to get this over with…
I am so sorry. Chihiro doesn’t deserve this, I know. But neither did Nina.
I would like to do some alternate ones next since I feel like there were some characters that could have worked just as well in diffrent places. For example, I paired Peko with Lanfan, but she could have worked as Hawkeye as well. Let me know if you have any suggestions or any characters you would specifically like to see me pair. Also, be sure to go look at all the previous ones! Part Three:
Prompt: Can you please do a scenario where Shuichi has a twin sister and she’s the V3 boys (sans Shuichi) and something bad happens to Shuichi and the boys comfort her while she cries over Shuichi? (You can decide Shuichi’s fate in each scenario where he’s critically injured, in a coma, or died.)
…
Kaito
Shuichi was on a ladder to reach a high shelf, but he fell and hit his head.
He’s in the hospital and in stable condition, but he’s in a medical coma while they run scans on him.
Lets be honest here, he’s as terrified and as worried as you are.
That being said, you’re his twin. He’s going to comfort you as much as he can though he might need to be comforted too.
Plenty of hugs and reassurances are thrown your way, and his optimism definitely helps you calm down after the initial scare.
The two of you try to distract yourselves by watching movies and stargazing.
Rantarou
Shuichi was in the hospital with a really bad case of pneumonia. He’s gonna be there for a few weeks, and be bedridden for a while after that.
He has twelve sisters; one of them has bound to had pneumonia before. He reassures you by staying level headed and generally being a voice of reason.
When he notices you crying, he pulls you in for a hug and just holds you for a while.
Once you’ve tried yourself out, he reminds you that it’s better to keep looking foreword, and that your brother will be okay.
He asks what you would like to do, and responds in kind. Want to watch movies? Play video games?? Go for a walk??? He’s ready to do whatever you’d like to distract you if you need.
Kiibo
Shuichi calls you and begins to speak in a rushed, quiet voice. He explains that he’s being followed by two suspicious looking people, and that he’s calling you in hopes they’ll leave him alone.
He tells you his location, which is about 6 blocks from your home. You and Kiibo, who had been watching movies at home, tell him you’ll meet up with him.
When you two arrive, he’s found with his phone broken and some broken bones. He’s conscious, but clearly in a lot of pain.
Both you and Kiibo rush over to him, and you call the cops and an ambulance while you sit next to him to comfort him.
It’s kind of a miracle Kiibo didn’t shut down he was so startled, but he notices you crying and offers his hand to hold since your other hand is being squeezed by Shuichi.
Kiibo tries to comfort you as much as he can when the police get statements from the three of you, and he assures you that Shuichi will be alright soon other than a few casts.
Kokichi
The two of you were returning back to your home after a date. It’s raining pretty heavily, so Kokichi is gonna stay at your place for the night.
When the two of you walk in, the place is trashed. Everything is knocked over, and there’s glass shards everywhere by a broken window. Most concerningly, there’s blood trailing to the kitchen.
You two rush in only to find Shuichi on the floor. No visible wounds, but he’s clearly the one bleeding.
You run over to him while Kokichi calls an ambulance and the police. Shuchi doesn’t respond, and you’re too afraid to do anything more than grab his hand and kneel next to him.
Kokichi hugs you from behind while you wait for the authorities to arrive.
Later, when Shuchi is taken to the hospital, Kokichi is too shaken to really say anything, but he knows you’re hurting more than he is, so he holds himself together
He holds you for as long as you need, and is attentive to any requests you make. The way he acts during this time is such a stark contrast to his usual self, it almost gives you whiplash tbh. He goes back to minor pranks to make you laugh once you learn that Shuichi is in stable condition.
Ryouma
The whole class was hanging out at the beach for the day since it was the middle of the summer.
It was so hot in fact, that Shuichi had a heat stroke and had to go to the ER. He’d be fine in time, but it was terrifying to see him blackout.
Needless to say, everyone is pretty nervous about what just happened, and everyone disperses for the day. Kaede asks you to give her any updates to his condition, and everyone gives you their reassurances and a lot of hugs before they leave.
You and Ryouma decide to sit at the beach under an umbrella while you calm down and process what just happened.
He notices that you’re quietly crying, and he asks if you’d like a hug.
He lets you know that he’s confident in your brother’s condition, and that hell be okay in no time. Usually he doesn’t like to be held due to his height, but he’ll make an exception if it brings comfort to you.
Gonta
Shuichi had been tracked down by a past convict he had found guilty.
He was found passed out with serious stab wounds, and was subsequently rushed to the hospital.
INSTANTLY TERRIFIED. HES CRYING WITH YOU.
You two call the authorities, and once Shuichi is in the ER you both just break down with each other.
You have to comfort him just as much as he comforts you. It actually kind of distracts you from the state your twin is in, so its not necessarily a bad thing.
Once he’s calmed down a bit, he suggests going outside to sit and just talk about nothing for a while since fresh air might help, but he’s willing to do whatever makes you happy.
Korekiyo
Shuichi had been punched and knocked out cold. No terrible injuries, but he is laid down on a couch for a few hours.
Luckily Kirumi put a cold washcloth on his forehead and got everyone to leave you alone with him since you were, reasonably, freaked out.
He’s not at all nervous until he sees you crying.
He remains calm and gives you the blunt facts: your brother is breathing, with minor injury, and he’ll wake up soon.
Might not be the best comfort, but he believes that hearing the truth outright is reassurance to you.
He’ll sit and hug you if you request it. Need a distraction? He’s all too willing to tell you a story and pet your hair till you’re calm.
Prompt: NDRV3 boys realizing they’re in love with their best friend
Edit: Half of these were written by me, half were written by a past mod, so they sound kinda different partway through.
…
Ryouma:
Oh. Oh no.
His instant reaction to figuring out his feelings is fear. He’s very afraid of ruining your friendship, as he doesn’t believe he’s good enough for you. He’s also very afraid that you’ll be hurt if you date him, just as his last girlfriend was hurt.
He begins to isolate himself away from you, since there’s no way he’ll willingly tell you about his feelings without intervention.
You’d notice the difference in behavior and attempt to confront him. If you express worry or concern and ask what’s wrong, he’d finally tell you.
He just accepts, in that moment, that whatever happens happens. If you reciprocate his feelings, he gets to be happy and in love. If you don’t reciprocate his feelings, then you’re safe and he’ll just go back to being friends with you. Though he might be a little quieter than before if you’re just friends.
Then again, he appreciates having someone like you in his life, regardless of if you’re best friends or lovers.
Kaito:
This lovable idiot had one of those moments where you two were hanging out, and you did one thing, one tiny little miniscule thing, and he just thinks ‘…I love them. Huh.”
You’re his best friend. He trusts you so much, he probably doesn’t even hesitate in saying that to you then and there.
Because honestly, what’s the worst that can happen? He’s such an optimist that he doesn’t think of any terrifying outcomes.
If you love him back, wonderful!! He gets to have his best friend as the one he loves most and they feel the same way!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!
If you dont, he still has you as his amazing sidekick and partner in crime! Sweet!!!!
That plus he has no filter and just kinda admitted his feelings before realizing it. Whoops.
Gonta:
He doesn’t really realize he’s in love with you romantically. Because yeah! He loves having you in hislife!! He appreciates everything you do for him!!! Isn’t that what friends do??
He only realizes that he likes you as more than a friend when he begins to notices the smaller details he loves about you. Your cute mannerisms, the way you speak, the way you brighten up when talking about a subject you love.
He kinda realizes that he doesn’t focus so much on those things with his other friends, so he knows something is different about you.
He figures it out a few days later. You hug him while youre saying goodbye to him and he just,,, tells you that he loves you.
You probably take that platonically since Gonta is just generally a complete sweetheart, but he corrects you that, no, he loves loves you.
He immediately gets really embarrassed about admitting that, rip Gonta.
Kokichi:
Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting.
He realizes it over a period of time, and you begin to notice that he tries to get your attention more and more.
You were talking to literally anyone other than him???? Not anymore. He just jumped on your back and demands attention from you. It’s getting frustrating.
He takes a surprisingly long time to figure out how to tell you. He honestly probably gets a lot of opinions on what to do from his D.I.C.E. members, before he finally works up the courage to tell you.
He confronts you alone, and looks,,,, kinda scared?????
He beats around the bush and stalls before blurting it out. He just stares at you while you form your response.
If you reject his feelings, he tries to play it off as one of his lies, but he acts differently around you afterwards.
Korekiyo:
He would initially assume that his sudden realization is just a spur-of-the-moment ordeal. He’d assume he was caught up in a weak place, and you kindness towards him set off a response of affection.
He’ll ignore it for a while, but after a month or two and he’s still overanalyzing everything you say and do, he starts to think that maybe he actually does like you.
His first thought of action was to do nothing, and just ignore it and continue staying friends, because he’d rather have your relationship be stable and not as fragile like a couple, but he starts coming up with weird ideas to start being with you more, which can either come off as very forward, or like he doesn’t care.
His composer will always stay calm and collected, but he’ll act a lot more clingy than he use to act, following you around and making sure you’re okay and safe wherever, and I mean wherever you go.
He himself will never confess, but when confronted he’ll gush out a monologue about his feelings.
If he’s rejected, he’ll act normal the next day and pretend everything that happened didn’t, in hopes that things will be normal
If he’s accepted, he just kinda stands there in awe and confusion cause he didn’t actually expect you to say you liked him too. He’s happy though
Rantarou:
Definitely the calmest out of all of them. He kinda just goes with the flow with life, so if he catches feels for you, he’ll just straight up say it.
For him, trust is the most valuable part of a relationship, and the main part of your relationship is trust, so naturally, he’s confident that even if you don’t like him, it’s cool! No big deal.
However despite this, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t get flustered easily.
He wants a good time to actually tell you, instead of just blurting it out, and between the time when he develops feelings, and when he tells you, he acts very on edge and very flustered.
He gets the worst case of butterflies, and he can’t help it! And because you guys are friends he can’t just say no to hanging out, especially when he likes you!!
Eventually after some thinking, and teasing from his sisters, he’ll just tell you and ask you on a date.
If you reject him, he’ll be surprisingly sad. He’ll wander aimlessly around where you guys live and might not return for a few days, but when he comes back, he’ll say that he understands your choice, and that you’re still his best friend.
If you accept his offer, he’ll pick you up and wing you around!! happiest boi around
he’ll buy you gucci on the first date
Shuichi Saihara
Shuichi is already in the checkout lane of Bath and Bodyworks and Lush buying himself literally every stress-relief themed item he can find.
He suddenly has like 40 good luck charms on his bag, even after he showers, he still reeks of eucalyptus and spearmint oils.
He gets a text from you?? You’re left on read. You see him in the halls??? He’s fucking RUNNING. You try to talk to him??? Sorry uh,, Ranstoner is calling
He panics, he doesn’t process anything that’s happening. Every surviving brain cell in his head just dies on the spot, like he just doesn’t know what to do.
He’ll immediately distance himself from you, but if you looked over at him, you’d see him staring at you with a look of both awe and seriousness. You’re just, so perfect!!!!!!
He asks The Friends for advice, Kaito and Rantarou are NOT helpful, considering they’d just tell you on the spot, Kaede gives him good advice, but does Shuchi have the heart to carry it through? nah
And even though he never asked, Kokichi would run and tell you for Shuichi, and Miu would totally start planning y’all’s “activities”.
It’s incredibly obvious that he likes you, so confronting him about the issue isn’t hard… for you. For him, he’d probably just gush out a string of words saying his feelings and how he wants to do dirty things to you like hold your hand and love you unconditionally.
if he’s rejected, he’ll apologize for the inconvenience and not speak to you for a few days. However he’ll reassure to you prior that you didn’t do anything wrong, and that he needs time to recompose himself.
if you accept the boy, he’ll faint. Everybody is proud of Shuichi, but Shuichi is now left of “what now”. But despite his shaky demeanor, he’s a lot happier and less stressed as he was before.
Kiibo
he knows what love is, but he’s yet to have experience it, so when his circuits start heating up too much, and he suddenly loses his train of thought, he instantly runs to Miu in fear of a bug with his programming.
when Miu states everything’s fine, with a mocking comment about how he’s “getting way to worked up over you ;)”, he goes back like everything’s normal
and naturally he’s like totally in love with you, but he doesn’t actually realize it?? So when his circuits get even hotter and he starts sweating and his motors start running on overdrive he goes back to Miu for another check, which she explains to him that the feelings he’s experiencing mean he’s in love with you.
after what she said, he’d think about it for a while. Loving somebody as a friend is different than loving somebody as a partner, and he grew to feel embarrassed thinking about the fact that he loves you as a partner, he wants to be with you.
after some thinking, he decides to go and tell you straight up, because you deserve to know.
if he’s rejected, he’ll be pretty bummed, he’ll mope around for a day or two, but he’ll slowly learn to accept it and move on. He’ll tell you it’s okay that you don’t like him back, but he’ll still be on edge for a while
If you accept him he’ll smile wider than ever before, and straight after ask “okay what now”. He will proudly hold your hand in public!!! He is so prideful, it’s unbelievable, but he’s a soft boy so everybody is happy for you two.
Kaito felt a lot better when he and Shuichi exited the bathroom. Thankfully, no one was looking at Kaito like they had done after his outburst. They all decided that Shuichi could handle everyone and went back to their own business. Kiyo was gone, most likely escorted to the lab for his turn. Kaito will have to find him later to apologise for what happened. Both he and Shuichi went back to where Kaito was sitting. As Kaito sat down, Shuichi started to rummage through the board games. He probably thought that a game of something might help Kaito feel more relaxed. Now that Kaito thought about it, playing a game does sound good right about now.
“Everything okay?” Kaede asked as she sat down at the table.
“Yeah. Kaito just got a little freaked out.” Shuichi answered, placing a game down on the table.
“Don’t worry, Kaito. Kiyo doesn’t mean to do it, but he does scare people a little when it comes to his powers.” Kaede smiled sympathetically as she remembered the first time Kiyo spoke to her about a spirit wanting to talk to her. Kaito smiled back, albeit a little wobbly. He looked back down at the paper in front of him. He still needs to write this letter. Maybe he’ll just tell his grandparents that he’s okay and he’s made new friends. The last thing that he needs to do is to scare them with the experiment that he went through. He was about to make a start when someone suddenly looked their arms around his shoulders from behind, causing him to let out an involuntary yelp.
“Were you scared, Kaito?” Kokichi laughed, revelling in the result of his childish prank. Kaito ignored him, but it didn’t stop him from being nosy. “Hey! Hey! What you doing there Kaito?”
“Should you not be touching me?” Kaito said, trying to hold back a laugh as he remembered his first day in the Facility.
“I already touched someone else a minute ago. I won’t be able to have your powers for another hour or so.” Kokichi said, sounding disappointed. Kaito normally wouldn’t be convinced as the boy has lied so too many times for him to count. However, seeing as how Kokichi wasn’t flying uncontrollably right now, Kaito had to take his word for it. “So what are you doing? Come on! Tell me!”
“Not that it’s any of your business, I’m writing a letter.” Kaito sighed, giving up. He knows that if he doesn’t say anything, Kokichi will just keep digging until he gets what he wants.
“To who?” Shuichi asked as he was in the middle of setting up the game.
“My grandparents.” Kaito answered, not looking up at his new friends.
“You’re allowed to write letters to your family?” Shuichi asked again, his voice laced with confusion.
“Yeah. Just like everyone else.” Kaito shrugged absentmindedly, again not even noticing how confused his friend was.
“Kaito, we don’t get to write letters to our families.” Kaede suddenly said, her voice laced with sadness and confusion.
“What?” Kaito exclaimed, his head snapping up so fast that he’s surprised that it didn’t detach from his body. He finally saw the looks that his friends were now giving. Minus Kokichi, they looked confused and hesitant to answer his question. Shuichi and Kaede were glancing each other uncomfortably. This was the first red flag.
“I don’t know what White had promised you, but it was obviously a lie.” Kokichi suddenly interjected, smiling like he had won the lottery. Red flag number two.
“Kaito, no one here contacts the outside world. We’re not even allowed outside.” Shuchi added after an uncomfortable minute. “The last time I spoke to my uncle was as I was going to school one morning. Three years ago.” The third red flag was getting ready to be raised. No one contacts the outside world at all? No one goes outside? Kaito suddenly glanced around the Lounge Area. He noticed an insect magazine that Gonta was looking at, and saw that it looked really old, creases along the magazine. The book that Maki was reading too seemed old and read many time before as there were clear and evident creases along the spine. The cartoon that Miu was currently watching was a mech cartoon that Kaito had seen before. The problem was that it was when he was a little kid and the show had stopped years ago. They don’t even repeat it anymore. Come to think of it, cartoons and documentaries that aired years ago were the only things that played on the TV. No news broadcasts or new shows. It was like time had stopped down here.
Kaito suddenly recalled something. It was on his first day. When everyone was asking him random questions. He didn’t make them out or think about them much at the time, but looking back on it now, a few of the questions were suddenly made crystal clear to him.
“Are my family still looking for me?”
“Do people still miss me?”
“Has anyone looked into my disappearance?”
Red flag number three has now been put up, higher and brighter than the previous two.
Ignoring his friends trying to speak to him, Kaito got up and started going to the door. He needs answers. He needs to speak to White. He’s the only man that can give Kaito the answers that he needs right now. The problem was that there was a guard standing in the way.
“I need to see Dr. White.” Kaito stated as he approached the guard. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but he hoped that the guard would listen to him.
“He’s not available.” The guard said emotionlessly. Kaito didn’t know if he was lying or not but he needed to get his point across.
“I need to speak with him, it’s important.” He argued, his tone sounding more urgent.
“Sit down.” The guard ordered, slowly reaching for his baton. Kaito didn’t notice, he didn’t care to do so.
“I need to see Dr. White.” He repeated. He didn’t notice it at first, but his body was suddenly off the ground. When he did notice that he was suddenly taller than the guard, he fought hard to hide his surprise. He wanted to stand firm with his choice to see White, that was what was important to him at that moment. However, he suddenly felt a jolt of electricity run through him again. He couldn’t hold back a scream as he suddenly crashed to the floor. He barely heard someone shouting his name. He looked up at the guard, holding his stomach in pain.
“Listen here, you freak! You don’t order me around!” The guard shouted, foaming at the mouth. He raised the baton, looking like he was ready to strike Kaito. Not giving him another electric shock, but a proper and possibly damaging strike like the baton was an iron pipe. The teenager put an arm up to try to defend himself. However, the guard’s arm was shaking. The guard looked at it and visibly went pale. Kaito had not doubt that his eyes were bulging out of their sockets as the man tried to force his arm to move. He looked around the room, his landing on what-no, who-he was searching for. Kaito turned around. Everyone in the room looked as pale as the guard, even Kokichi. Maki had stood up from where she was sitting. She wasn’t speaking or doing anything but standing there, staring at the guard coldly. Kaito didn’t even need to ask what was happening. Maki was using her powers to protect him. But why?
“Y-you! Stop this! I order-” the guard stuttered, panic lacing his voice. Maki only stared harder. She suddenly jerked her head a little. There was a sickening sound of multiple bones snapping at once. Kaito whipped his head around to look at the guard. His arm was completely mangled. All the bones in his arm was broken, ensuring that the man might have permanent damage if he isn’t taken to a hospital or have Rantaro heal him soon. While Kaito had a small sense of victory, the guard suddenly pulled out a small red button and pressed it. A door that was unseen to everyone earlier suddenly burst open. Without word or warning two guards rushed at Maki. She didn’t fight back, probably didn’t have a chance to, as she was suddenly shocked. Her voice turned into a loud, high pitched scream until she passed out on the floor completely. Her scream was so loud and ear shattering that it seemed to rattle the entire room.
“What is going on here?!” Dr White’s voice suddenly rang out. He was standing at the main door, looking around at the damage that had been done. The guard’s mangled arm. Kaito being helped to his feet by Shuichi and Kaede, still holding his abdomen. Maki laying unconscious on the ground, looking so still that she might as well be dead.
“It was the telekinetic bitch! She attacked me unprovoked, sir!” The injured guard shouted before Kaito could put a word in, pointing an accusing finger at the unconscious girl.
“That’s not-” Kaito was ready to argue, pushing himself away from Shuichi and Kaede before they could stop him.
“Again? When will that girl-put her in Isolation.” White sighed heavily. With that, the guards standing by Maki picked her up, one holding her arms and the other holding her legs. They lifted her up so quickly and haphazardly, that she almost flew out of their grasp. They carried her so carelessly that they didn’t care if they dropped her or not. Kaito couldn’t put a word in as she was carried out efficiently. None of the other Limitless spoke up for her or tried to tell the truth. Were they that scared of White?
“Doc. I need to speak to you. It’s extremely important.” Kaito suddenly spoke up, not quite sure what he was doing at this point.
“Very well. Escort Momota to my office. I’ll be there momentarily.” White sighed heavily, looking like he was at his wits end. Kaito didn’t hesitate in leaving as he was escorted by two guards out of the Lounge Area. He barely heard White barking orders at everyone else that was left behind. The only thing that he was focused on was getting answers. That’s all that matters right now.
Kaito felt sore when he finally woke up. His body was sore, his throat was sore, his arm was sore. It was so bad that he felt like he couldn’t move his body at all. He wasn’t sure how long he had been sleeping for, but he knew that it felt like hours. He was awake, but he couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes. It felt like his eyelids had been glued shut. Since he couldn’t open his eyes yet, he’ll have to rely on his other senses. He couldn’t hear anything at first, which made Kaito scared that he had gone deaf. However, the longer he laid there, his ears eventually picked up the quiet hum of a light up above him. Kaito felt something soft under his skin. Was he laying on a bed? It seemed to be that way as he was laying face down on it. For a brief minute, Kaito thought that he was back in his own bed, that he was at home in his room.
However, when Kaito finally opened his eyes, that nice thought had shattered. When Kaito opened his eyes, he was met with his now least favourite colour. White. He was in his room at the Facility. He remembered everything that had happened. The lab. The so called experiment. The pain. Uncaring, dark eyes. The soulless people. The deep wound on his arm. Kaito’s still bleary eyes drifted to his arm. And his whole body went stone cold. All along his forearm was a fresh, pink scar. His stomach churned and he felt an urge to throw up. His body felt immensely cold. He never believed that such people could exist in that lab. Why would they do that to him in the first place?
Kaito finally felt like his body could move. His stomach felt immensely empty but he wasn’t sure if he could eat. He didn’t know what was going on, but he needed to find out. He quickly redressed himself into some fresh clothing. He didn’t want to be in anything that he wore while he was in that lab. He needed to find out what was going on here. He hurriedly started making his way to the others. He didn’t even bother looking at the time. He assumed that everyone was in the Lounge Area so he made his way towards that.
“What are you doing here?!” A voice suddenly boomed behind him. Kaito jumped at that sudden shout. He turned to see a guard standing behind him. He couldn’t see the guard’s eyes, but he knows that the man was staring right into his soul. It was beyond intimidating. “It’s lunchtime! You’re meant to be in the cafeteria! Move!” Lunchtime? It was already afternoon. Kaito didn’t want to risk being put in that lab again so soon, or face any other kind of punishment. He quickly changed direction, heading to the cafeteria. There was everyone else. Almost all of them were sitting together. They all seemed to be normal. Talking, eating, laughing with each other. However, upon a closer look, Kaito couldn’t help, but feel like something was wrong.
“Kaito! Gonta save you a seat!” Gonta suddenly smiled, stopping him almost immediately. Kaito was quite surprised but quickly processed that as he was unceremoniously and impatiently pushed forward. He steadied himself as the door slammed shut and the guard that shoved him in stood in front of it. With heavy feet, he walked over to the empty chair. He was between Gonta and Tsumugi and sat opposite Shuichi.
“I’ll go get your meal, Kaito.” Kirumi suddenly announced as she stood up.
“No. Kirumi, you don’t have-” Kaito started to protest. He didn’t feel that hungry after everything that had happened. However, Kirumi had already made her way to the window, requesting for Kaito’s meal to be brought forward.
“You might as well go along with it.” Tsumugi whispered, gesturing towards Kirumi. “It’s plain to see that she is looking for something to do here.” Kaito sighed in defeat. Well, he might as well try to get some energy back. Kirumi promptly made her way back to the table, and gently placed a hot meal in front of Kaito with a glass of water. A huge roast beef with gravy, mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Seemed like a good enough meal to have since Kaito had involuntarily skipped breakfast. Kaito took a bite and let out a quiet sigh of satisfaction. Guess he was more hungry than he thought that he was after all. Almost everyone seemed relieved that he was eating. They must have somehow known about what had happened to him.
“Wow, Kaito! You look like you’ve been through Hell and back!” Kokichi laughed, spotting the drained look that Kaito had on his face. He was sitting next to Shuichi with Kaede on the other side of the navy blue haired boy. Kaito didn’t bother saying anything back because he felt like he had been put through Hell and back. He was a little surprised at how on Earth he walked here in the first place.
“Kokichi! Enough!” Keade scolded. Kokichi only snickered before shoving a huge piece of beef into his mouth. “Are you okay Kaito?”
“I feel like my arm has been savaged into. And didn’t even think that people like that had ever existed.” Kaito nodded, subconsciously covering up his new scar. He looked up at Shuichi. He still had dark circles under his eyes and was poking at the last of his food absentmindedly. “Hey, Shuichi? How are you holding up? When I saw you earlier, you looked very tired.”
“Still am. I might take a nap later if they allow it.” Shuichi sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. If they allow it? How tight are the rules here? “I was in the lab before you. Forced to go through an experiment around 2am I think.” 2am? If Kaito didn’t go through that this morning, he would’ve thought that scientists would need their test subjects to be wide awake. However, after what had happened, it was clear that those people didn’t care if they were wide awake or half asleep. They didn’t care if the Limitless were ill or healthy. So long as they did their experiments as if they were in a horror movie. How could this go on unnoticed? How could White not know what was going on here?
“Just wait until White hears about it.” Kaito muttered absentmindedly, not meaning to say it out loud.
“Even for a degenerate male, you’re stupid!” Tenko scowled, glaring a little at Kaito.
“What?” Kaito exclaimed, dropping his fork.
“Who do you think authorises the experiments?” Ryoma spoke up from the end of the table where he sat.
“Wait! So everyone-” Kaito started to ask, feeling like he had been punched in the stomach.
“-has gone through that and more? Yeah.” Rantaro finished sadly.
“It is certainly more like torture than experimentation.” Kiyo muttered from behind Kaito. He was sitting on his own, back turned to everyone else with his mask laying on the table close to him. Was he self conscious or something? Kaito didn’t dwell on it, deciding that it was none of his business. He looked around at everyone else. And that’s when he finally noticed. He didn’t know why he didn’t before. Maybe he was too caught up in the excitement of being somewhere that he could fit in. Maybe his brain didn’t want him to register it. Now he has however, he wished that he did before. Everyone had scars running up and down their skin. Some were old and faded, while others were fresh.
“This is fucked up.” Kaito muttered, not even trying to hold that in as he ran his fingers through his messy hair.
“Normally I don’t agree with such language, but you are correct.” Kirumi sighed, finally sitting down to finish off her meal. Kaito suddenly felt like he had lost his appetite all over again. White knows what’s going on after all. He’s the one that authorises this. That didn’t make any sense. Surely you would get more data from a Limitless by having them demonstrate what they can do. Not butcher them up like they’re not human. Kaito had to suppress a shudder as he remembered what Sara had said to him. About him not being human just because he had powers. How could anyone say that to another person, just because they’re different? Why would they do that? Something seemed horribly wrong.
“Why do they do this to us?” Kaito immediately asked.
“We don’t know. We’ve asked them many times, but they never answer.” Shuichi answered, looking uncomfortable.
“Even Atua can’t let me hear them because they block him out.” Angie added, looking very sad.
“Wouldn’t the first one here know more about it?” Kaito asked. It seemed logical that the first Limitless might know something, anything more than everyone else.
“I suspect so.” Shuichi muttered.
“So, who was the first one here?” Kaito asked. Almost everyone looked uncomfortable and silently asked him if he had lost his mind.
“Oh! That would be the Murder Girl!” Kokichi smiled as he pointed to a table somewhere behind him. Shuichi sat him down, giving him a silent no at what he had just done. Murder Girl? Kaito looked at who Kokichi was pointing at. Maki sat far away from everyone else. Her plate was fully cleared of all food. She had a book in her hands, just like the first time Kaito had seen her. She was far too wrapped up in her book to acknowledge anything or anyone else. Maki was the first Limitless. She has to know something about what goes on here.
“Oh no! You better not go over there.” Angie suddenly warns Kaito, catching everyone’s attention. “Atua tells me that you want to talk to Maki.” Kaito ignored the warning, getting up from his seat.
“Kaito, that’s not a good-and he’s gone.” Rantaro sighed in defeat as Kaito started walking away from the table.
“That idiot is going to get himself fucking killed.” Miu was heard, trying to be as quiet as she could.
“Neeheehee! I know right! Let’s watch the fun!” Kokichi grinned as his chair could be heard turning towards Kaito’s direction. Kaito ignored the anxious stares directed at his back. He didn’t really have much of a plan in mind. Just ask Maki what is going on and hopefully get some answers. He doesn’t know if he’ll get the answers that he wants, but it was worth trying. Maki didn’t seem to have heard him approach her. As he got closer to her, Kaito couldn’t help but notice the scars on her. There were so many, too many. It indicated that she has been here longer. But some of them didn’t look right. They didn’t look like they had been made with a scalpel. What happened to her?
“Hey. Maki right?” Kaito asked, trying not to think about the scars. Maki gave him a side look, but went back to reading her book. Okay, a bit rude, but he needs to keep trying. “Look I want to ask you something. It’s about what they do here.” Maki looked up at him again. However, her eyes suddenly trailed to his arm.
“You’ve already been subjected to the experiments. You know what goes on here.” She said in a monotone voice, before going back to reading. Kaito ignored the fact that she stared at his scar.
“Something still doesn’t add up. Could I please have some answers?” He asked, trying his best not to sound desperate.
“Please leave me alone.” Maki said, not looking up at him.
“But I-” Kaito tried again to reason with the girl. She suddenly slammed her book shut. It was so loud that it actually echoed a little. It made Kaito stop talking almost instantly.
“Momota, right?” Maki asked.
“I prefer Kaito-” Kaito tried to say.
“Momota, you know what goes on here.” Maki interrupted, looking up at Kaito with a warning I’m her eyes. “Now, please leave me alone. Everyone else does.” Kaito couldn’t be sure, but he thought that he heard a hint of sadness in her voice. It was small, almost untraceable, but it was there. Maki didn’t seem to notice or care. She got up, holding her book tightly in her hands. She started making her way to the door. However, the guard there stopped her from going any further.
“Where are you going?” He demanded.
“To my room.” Maki answered emotionlessly, not looking intimidated by the large man in front of her.
“You’re not scheduled to.” The guard sneered.
“I don’t care. I want to go to my room.” Maki said, once again void of all emotions. The guard didn’t like it. He grabbed the baton from his waist. He brought it close to Maki’s face, showing her the two, small, metal prongs on the end of it.
“Listen here, bitch-” he started to warn.
“It’s not nice to threaten a lady, you know.” Kaito suddenly interjected. He was standing behind Maki, arms crossed. Maki gave him a blank look. He couldn’t blame her for that. Again, he didn’t have a plan in mind. He just wanted her to trust him or something like that.
“Stay out of this, freak!” The guard warned.
“Listen here-” Kaito started. The guard suddenly jabbed him with the baton. Kaito couldn’t hold back a scream as electricity ran through his body. He fell back, holding his midriff tenderly. How many volts was that?! It felt more like lightening than anything else. Kaito looked up as the guard looked ready to strike him again.
“He’s new here!” Rantaro suddenly shouted, getting between the two. His voice was calm, but Kaito could tell that he was nervous. “Brought in yesterday. We’ve all been there, right? There’s no need for that.” The guard looked back and forth between the three. He seemed to be contemplating on shocking all three of them or not. He finally put his weapon away, giving Kaito immense form of relief. He didn’t know how he would handle another shock like that.
“Be sure that your friend is kept in check.” He warned, pointing a gloved finger at Rantaro. As Rantaro helped Kaito to his feet, the guard then turned to Maki, his tone becoming much more threatening. “And you! You go back over there! Or do you want to be put in Isolation again!” Maki seemed unchanged. She didn’t react to the words. However, she swiftly turned and went back to where she was sitting. Isolation? Schedule? Kaito was once again reminded that something was wrong. Despite what had happened, he was still determined to find the answers he needs. He’ll get them one way or another.
