This can't be happening.

It all felt, it all feels like a dream.

I was just living a normal day of my life, and now here I am.

Why does it already feel so distant? Everyone... they all feel like a memory of the past, but, well, everything is now a memory of the past.

This is my new reality, I can't let my new life go in ruins.

But it's already doing so, and I'm not able to stop it.

I'm so lucky to be in this village, but it's already getting destroyed.

I'm so lucky to have someone, but she's already...

...getting killed.

Atsura's too far away. Can't she do anything? She should save her daughter...

No. I'm the one who'll do it. I don't care about the consequences, I've already lost everything anyway, might as well not lose what little I have another time.

My heart's beating like crazy, I'm extremely nervous, but also excited: I get to be this story's hero, be it a happy or sad ending.

The blackest of mists engulfs me, or my mind at least; I don't see anything, not even my own path, yet I know where I must go, I know what I must do.

I really didn't expect to have such a kind heart, guess I just can't help it, eh?

It's weird: I almost stop hearing any sound, except the silent screaming of urgency; I can't describe it, or maybe I can.

After all, I've already experienced a similar, even stronger, sensation.

That time.

But that time I made it; sure, I got a little injured, but I made it: I saved the most important person to me.

I know I have yet to spend time and form a deeper bond with her, but Yuna is, in this new life, the most important person to me.

As I've already said way too many times: I'm damn glad I met her.

And I will not let this be counterbalanced by meeting her dead body, nah, that doesn't fit in my plans.

Maybe I'm not as strong as Atsura- or, not even as strong as a regular soldier, but that doesn't mean I can't give it my best.

The only thing I have to do is push her away, I'm sure her mother will take care of everything from there, right?

And, also, didn't I have the powers of the Abyss? I should be good to go.

Heh, I know this is all just a big, fat excuse to gain enough confidence, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?

But remember the most important thing:

I'm the protagonist, how could I ever die?

...

This one's really funny, what the fuck am I talking about? Protagonist of my own death, that's guaranteed, but that's not a concern to me.
