        This night, he became a new revival. In his mind, he could go endless miles, but it was such a long way from you. He laid upon the floor, weak and bloodied. The odds were so low, but somehow, he managed to survive.

"Kaneki Ken," he mutters from his mouth.

You gasp as you perk up, one hand gripping at your arm. A large, fresh cut was heavily bleeding on your arm and you tried to suppress it. Quick pants were leaving your lips as you watched Haise shakily get up from the ground. His aura felt.. So different. This wasn't Haise Sasaki anymore, was it?

Ashes to dust, making a mess of us, where the words had fallen from his lips. You scream out his name, but he didn't respond. Give me a sign to keep my heart beating, throw me a line over my head.

The sound of cracking was loud as he popped a finger.

"I won't.. Give up," he says, in a tone that was way off from the normal Haise.

Fight like the underdog
Don't tell me that you've had enough
Left, right, we're marching on

You scream and ignore your bleeding wound as you quickly rush over to Haise who was ready to demolish the mysterious masked ghoul in front of him. "Haise, no!," you yelled as you grabbed his arm.

Someone new had completely taken over his body and body, you could tell from the way Haise's eyes looked upon you. They were harsh as only one kakugan was activated in his gray eyes. The gentleness in Haise disappeared in those eyes as well as his personality as he easily pushed you aside.

Fear is the end of us, don't say you'll give up.

Tears burned as they form at your eyes, falling down your cheeks like small streams. You swore you'd be strong and carry on, that you would be brave. Haise would never forgive himself for ending anyone's life and you couldn't just sit here when you could stop him.

You were only human, ashes to dust, making a mess of us.

You hastily throw yourself at his form, only to tackle him onto the ground and pinning him, but who ever was in control of this male, he easily tossed you to the side again. "Stay out of it!," he hisses with venom in his voice. Blood spats out as you cough it up harshly, lifting yourself from the ground weakly.

As the unknown Haise gets back up immediately, he walks over to the ghoul. Although, the mask had fallen from the injured ghoul long before and he finally looked up. There was a look of shock across Haise's face as if he recalled something.

"Nishiki-senpai...?," he mutters, rather hurt than surprised.

"Nice to know you remember..."

The ghoul only gives him a half smile before forcing himself to stand up and flee from the scene. Haise then starts to panic, his breathing becoming short as his chest heaves rather rapidly as his hands go through his two-toned hair. He grips at the locks as he lets out a yell of pain; his mind was spinning, why?

Next thing he knew, he almost fell to the ground, but you quickly grabbed him, falling to your knees as he was resting against your body. His kakugan deactivated, but his two gray eyes were almost lifeless, you nearly assumed he was dead until you felt warm tears drip onto your uniform.

"I... Lost control," he mutters. He was himself again.

"It's fine, you're back now," you comfort him, patting his back gently as you held him closer.

When the sun goes down, and the heavens fall.
He gave it his all, but still broken promises.
No, it won't be long.

You could feel Haise shaking in your arms as he tears continue to fall down like the rain.

"Don't let fear end you, Sasaki," you simply say,"You're only human."

One hand grips at the back of your uniform as he clings to you.

He'll keep marching on.
