A few weeks passed and V-tech continued to rise up within the world until it finally became the number one company in the world.

After becoming #1 Sage completely stole Rey's role as he was supposed to be #1 with the FL. 

Instead Rey's company continued to plummet while Zana's whereabouts remained unknown.

"AHHHHH..."

Jun woke up with a start as he desperately looked around. Slowly he calmed his beating heart as he realized he was just in his room. It had been so long since he had had a nightmare, ever since he moved in with Sage they had completely stopped.

Yet, suddenly after so long he had had one. 

Moreover, it was the same dream that he always used to have about the dying woman, except this time it was slightly different.

In his dream, Jun had been chasing after Sage who was the only light in all the darkness.

Slowly she started getting farther and farther away as Jun started to become surrounded in darkness. 

He struggled to get closer, only when she was by his side could he feel at peace.

When he finally reached Sage her body turned completely limp as it fell.

Before it could fall to the ground Jun desperately reached out to catch her, yet as soon as he touched her his hands became completely dyed in a scarlet red liquid as Sage's body turned cold and stiff. 

Then she suddenly disappeared as everything turned black. 

The darkness enveloped Jun as he realized he was all alone. 

Completely alone. 

That's when he woke up yelling with a cold sweat.

Looking around he was still in a dazed state. "Where's Sage!?" he frantically asked still feeling the effects of the dream.

"SAGE! SAGE!" Quickly he yelled as he ran out of bed to go to Sage's room, before he could get there though, Sage tiredly opened her door as she looked up at the perpetrator.

"What-" Before she could finish speaking Jun tightly embraced her making sure she was real and alive as he held her deep within his embrace.

"D-Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't!" Jun frantically muttered over and over while still tightly clinging on to Sage.

"Don't what?" After a minute Sage blankly asked, her emotionless tired eyes squinting at Jun.

"Leave me... Don't leave me, Don't ever, ever, ever leave me! Please!" Jun pleaded looking straight into Sages dark misty eyes.

She remained deathly silent.

"PROMISE ME! PRO-promise me... Promise me you won't ever leave me!" Jun tried to calm his voice while his eyes looked dark bordering on insanity.

Sage Stayed silent. 

The man saw her silence and looked up at her with terrified eyes.

"...If... If you keep making meals as good as you do, I'll never have a reason to leave you." Sage was the Villain, she wasn't good at comforting, so she tried to calm the situation by talking about food.

However, Sage couldn't completely keep it together as she looked down avoiding Jun's gaze, knowing full well that she couldn't keep such a promise.

"Y-you promise?" Jun asked, acting like a naive young child.

Again Sage looked down avoiding his gaze, she nodded. "...Yes."

"Good, then I'll start making breakfast! As long as you like it you'll stay, don't forget you promised!" Jun said aloud calming himself, as though doing so would guarantee Sage's promise.

While Jun did this Sage looked at the story progress report, surprised she noticed it was at -100%.

 She wondered how much time she had before the world killed her off...

After awhile Jun brought out a feast for breakfast, he carried out Tea, bread rolls, toast, pastries with different fillings, pancakes topped with whipped cream and classic bacon. 

Sage felt a twinge of guilt as she ate the meal, feeling as though it were made especially grand in order to make her stay... immediately she shooed away such emotions. 

She was the villain, her heart was already filled with stone, she had no room for guilt.


*Desert Note: This was also a fun chapter to write for this arc. I like the more psychological scenes where we get to see the hints of progression of Jun's character as he turns more yandere. (*gulps. What does this say about me...)
