Doki Doki Literature Club: Afterstory

Chapter 33: The Return of Nazo!

Cliché, but my series, my rules.

7:00 A.M. Yuri's POV

I wake up next to Monika before her and kiss her cheek, making her wake up and smile at me.

"Why good morning, Yuri. What's gotten you all excited?" Monika asks, and I hug her.

She pats my back and sits up next to me. My hands fidget on their own, and Monika notices. She puts a hand on my shoulder.

"¿Algo mal?" Monika asks, and I jump, giggling nervously before clearing my throat.
Translation; Something wrong?

"I-I-I was just... getting... g-goosebumps on my scars, and it felt... strange..." I explain, and Monika pulls up my sleeves to see that there are fresh scars on my arms as I wince in realization.

Monika growls at me, her emerald eyes turning a deep forest green and staring through my soul.

"Yuri, I can't keep fixing you! Who knows when it might accidentally reset you?" Monika asks, and I hang my head in shame.

Monika makes me look at her with her hand, scrunching my cheeks together.

"Monika... can you not?" I ask, and she smirks.

"I can... I just don't want to." Monika states, and I stick my tongue out at her, making her let go of my face.

Monika sighs.

"Alright. I'm not gonna do this again. I'll see what I can do about your arm urges." Monika states, and after a while, Monika finishes the code.

She stares at the command prompt, horrified and scared. I put my hands in Monika's and put my forehead on hers, staring into her eyes. She opens her now teary eyes, and I can hear her scattered breathing.

"Listen. If I'm reset, you can make me remember." I state, and Monika's eyes shut.

"How? There's no code for that... a-and... I don't wanna lose you... I don't wanna lose us... I don't wanna lose our marriage, Yuri..." Monika explains, and I hold her closer to me.

"If I do end up being reset... let's share one last kiss." I state, and she kisses me while entering the code.

We pull away, and stares at me.

"Yuri? You feel any better? Your arms all healed?" Monika asks, and I look at my sleeves.

"Care to do the honors?" I ask, and she pulls them down to reveal my new fixed arms!

"Wooo! I'm getting good at this!" Monika exclaims, and I hug her tightly.

Monika hesitates to hug me back, and I take ahold of her shoulders and look at her face. It's full of... fear? Boredom? Sadness? Maybe all three...

"Monika? Quelque chose te trouble?" I ask, and she closes her eyes, looking away.
Translation; Something troubling you?

"I... um... h-had a bad dream." Monika lies.

"Mierda. What's really going on?" I ask, and Monika sighs, grasping my arms.
Translation; Bullshit.

"I feel like a great threat is coming, and I have a feeling that all of us aren't going to be enough to stop it. Not even Alucard or any of our other friends at the Hellsing Organization are gonna be able to stop it. Also... I feel... needy." Monika explains, and I grasp her shoulders.

"Have I not been remembering to make you feel good, Kika?" I ask, feeling my irises shrinking.

"Nope. I guess you'll have to do a better job!" Monika teases, and I rub her shoulders, making her blush a little.
