The subconscious is a strange place... No one knows what it was created for.... Nor how it came to be.....

Whatever it was, though, this place is about to become a battle field.

Keisuke appears in a dark room, his feet touching cool marble. He's only wearing a red shirt and green cargo pants, no shoes on.

Keisuke: H-Huh?... (looks around) W-What's going on?

Keisuke?: Ahahaaahaaahah~ Welcome to the subconscious world, Keisuke!

Keisuke: (head whips around to the source of the voice) W-Who-

He does a double take seeing another him with red eyes, not seeming to care as he twirls a knife so effortlessly.

Keisuke?: (hums) Surprised, Keisuke?~

Keisuke: (takes a step back, is wary) W-Who are you?

Keisuke?: Me? (pretends to look shocked) How cruel of you Keisuke! How could you forget yourself?!

Keisuke: (eyes narrow) You're my pain and suffering, aren't you?

Keisuke?: (grins) Ding ding ding! Wow, nice one Keisuke! (claps) You truly are smarter than the rest of the Agency! I mean, come on! You knew where to go when you guys were trying to save Suzaku!

Keisuke: It's nothing much... (hand slips to his pants, feels a dagger)

Keisuke?: (smirks) But why didn't you tell the rest about your suspicions then?

Keisuke: W-Wha...? (looks confused)

Keisuke?: (hums) Why didn't you tell the others "You're wrong, it's not that way."? Was it because you wanted to trust Natsume? Was it because you wanted to let your sister shine? Or... Was it... (smirks) Was it because you were afraid that no one would listen to you?

Keisuke: (growls) S-Since when did I fear that?!

Keisuke?: (rolls eyes) Ever since Kenji's death, of course! You became an outcast! You promised Kenji that you would keep on living, but you didn't live it to its fullest! He must hate you so much now! 

Keisuke: A-AS IF! (grips dagger tight, feels slightly depressed, but he shakes that off once he remembers who's waiting for him outside) You may be my darkness, but I won't lose to you! 

Keisuke?: (smirks) We'll see about that then! (suddenly lunges for him)

Keisuke: (takes out his dagger, blocks Keisuke?'s attack)

Meanwhile, Junko wakes up in another part, feeling slightly confused over where she was, wearing a simple white hoodie, long grey pants and her hair let down.

Junko: W-Where am I?... (gets up, looks around) W-Where's the Gate to the Underworld?... I-I thought that they defeated me... I-I should be on my way there now...

Junko?: Upupupupupupupupupu~ Did you really think that it would be THAT easy?~

Junko: H-Huh?! (turns around)

She finds herself with swirly eyes and a twisted grin on her face looking back at her as she plays with a handgun.

Junko: (growls) You! 

Junko?: Yes, it's me, Enoshima Junko, the SHSL Despair!~ (smirks) The girl who just LOOOOOVVVESSSSS despair just because it's fun!~ 

Junko: (eyes narrow) Nothing's fun about spreading despair just because you're bored! No way! 

Junko?: (mock gasps) Puhhuhuhuhuhu~ How cruel of you! How can you say that to the queen?! 

Junko: You make it sound like you're not me, when you actually are! (glares)
