FA stood alone.
Surrounded by nothing. No stars. No ceiling. Just darkness stretching beyond comprehension. A void not made of shadows—but of absence.
His feet touched nothing, yet he stood.
His chest rose. Fell.
FA blinked slowly, as if the act of breathing was the only thing reminding him he existed.
"I just have to escape from here..." he murmured.
A hollow smile touched his lips. He looked up, as if the sky might answer.
"...And I should meet Asahi."
Silence.
He chuckled. Bitter. Self-aware.
"I wasn't a good mentor, huh?"
His eyes softened.
"He must be suffering... all alone."
A breath. Long. Tired.
Then he walked. Into nothingness.
No direction. No gravity. Just pure, unfiltered intent.
"Dimensional hole... huh," he whispered, scanning the void around him. "So this place lets me peek into other timelines. Other Asahi's."
He grinned. Cold and cracked.
"And I'm the only version of Asahi that died in the future and became... this. The guide."
Still... he hadn't saved anyone.
He laughed quietly.
Stopped walking.
"Useless mentor," he said, standing still in the dark. "What a joke."
His breath hitched. A thought struck like lightning.
"Wait."
He turned.
"If I can peek into any dimension..."
His eyes widened.
"I can find myself."
Suddenly, his hand glitched. The skin bent unnaturally, jagging into fragmented geometry.
FA looked at it, unshaken.
"Again...?"
He clenched his jaw.
"These glitches... they're not just random. They're data... signals..." he muttered. "If I trace the origin—"
His eyes dilated.
"I can find who trapped me here."
A pulse of silence followed.
"I can find the controller of the Dimensional Dream."
A slow, cold smile spread across his face.
"Ohhh... I just cracked something."
He took a step back. Jumped slightly in place. Flexed his arms like warming up before a storm.
"I am the possibility, baby."
He chuckled. Mocking the void.
Then, his tone dropped.
"But... how the hell did I even record a final message here? In a place like this... this black pit of nowhere."
He shook his head.
"I must've been working on something huge....damn..... But... why did I forget everything?"
WHY?
His voice lowered, raw and honest.
"Why didn't he want me to remember...? Even in the message... he gave me no hint."
He scratched his hand. It glitched again.
"First step... look into other dimensions. Find out if this was fate—or manipulation."
He turned.
Began walking again.
His voice—fainter. Tired.
"After this is all over... I'm gonna take a loooong sleep... you know?"
His smile twisted.
Hopeless. But trying.
He stopped again. Looked ahead.
"Anari... I wish I could've held you for just a little longer."
His eyes fluttered shut.
"She loves me... huh."
The faintest smile formed.
"Sometimes that's enough to survive this hell."
He lowered his head.
"Asahi... I don't know where you are. Or where I am."
The void pulsed faintly.
"But if you're out there—please... take care of her."
He looked upward, as if someone—anyone—was listening.
"Make her fall for you, idiot."
A single breath. Then a whisper.
"Please, God... please..."
And the void... stayed silent.
