2018:

(In this timeline, (Y/n) still left Toman at the end of high school, but Mikey never left. Her, Mikey, and Takemichi were the only ones left alive from the 2005 gang. Mikey and (Y/n) are engaged, and the wedding date happened to be a few days after Mitsuya's funeral.)

I sat in my room, staring out the window, as I mourned Mitsuya's death, silently.

Once I had gotten the call that our old friend was dead, about a week ago, I asked my fiance about attending the funeral, but he made his point clear that we were not to go. He said that it was "too dangerous" and we're "sure to get caught." I honestly couldn't have cared less. I just wanted to see my good friend, one last time.

Regardless of my feelings, I just sucked it up and listened. One by one, all of our friends have been murdered by an unidentified serial killer, and I wasn't able to do a damn thing about it.

Mikey smiled, getting underneath the covers of our shared bed. "So, tomorrow's the big day!"

My fiance had returned from work about a half hour ago. Telling by the smell of alcohol, which I noticed when he kissed me, the slight slurring of his words, and him being extra talkative, I knew he was drunk.

"Yeah, it is!" I smiled, as I laid my head on the pillow beside him.

As the black-haired man laid his head on my chest, he grabbed my (silver/gold/obsidian) heart locket, which he had gotten me twelve years ago, and stared at it. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"I think we both were." I giggled, as I placed a kiss on my future-husband's forehead. "Now, go to sleep. I don't need you to be all tired on our big day."

"You're right." Mikey pouted, before pressing his lips against mine. "Goodnight, Love."

"Goodnight."

As silence filled the dark room, like it did every night, I felt like something was slightly off. What was normally a comfortable quiet felt eerie, like something evil was lurking in the shadows.

"Hey, (Y/n)?" Mikey spoke up, even though I thought he had fallen asleep.

"Hmm?"

"I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I killed them."

My heartrate began to increase, as I hesitated to ask what he was talking about, since I had a feeling that I already knew the answer. "Who?"

"All of them." The black-haired man slurred his words, as he stayed perfectly still. "I shot Chifuyu and Rin, burned Hakkai to death in a warehouse, strangled Mitsuya, stabbed Kenny, and killed the rest one by one. Takemitchy is next. I sent him a letter. Either he's gonna kill me or I'm gonna kill him."

I've been sleeping beside the man who killed every single person I care about?! So, my worst fears have come true. Did we really not mean the world to him?

Trying to stay calm, I ran my fingers through my fiance's hair, just like I'd always do when he just wanted to rant.

"Why would you do that? Weren't they all your cherished friends?"

"I wish I knew the answer to that."

Once again, the room went silent.

What do I do now? How the hell could I love the sick bastard who killed my friends?! I need to make a decision quickly.

***

By some miracle, I was able to fall asleep. I ended up waking up alone, with a note on the nightstand.
