(MA's thought lingered.)(That reply wasn't confident… he's already doubting.)
(Asahi's thought burned back.)(I have to find that bastard FA. He's trying to do something himself…)
The lamp flickered.The carved words glowed faintly.
"Believe me at the right time."
And the night pressed heavier—
FA's Side.
A sharp inhale.A long, weary exhale.
He stood. Alone.
White room.Blank.Void without walls or ground.
FA: "…Now what." His voice was dry, drained.
He looked around—empty. Endless."Trying to find me in this empty fucking area?"A bitter laugh escaped his lips.
The void stretched. Endless white, like the Dimensional Dream itself.He stood at the center of nothing.
Then—
Noise.
Screams.
Shrill. Agonizing.Anari's voice.His own voice.Thousands of echoes crashing in from every direction.
FA's hands curled into fists.His teeth grit."Stop… STOP playing with my fucking mind!"
His roar cracked through the void.And suddenly—silence.
Dead silence.
Then it came.A voice.
Deep. Dark. A vibration that shook the air itself.
THE VOICE:"ASAHI RENTARO."
FA froze. His lips curved slowly."Oooh… it's me?" He smirked.
THE VOICE:"The man who has traveled dimensions more than anyone."
"Oh, really?" FA tilted his head, half amused, half tired.
THE VOICE:"The man who left everything… to rebuild everything."
"Yes." His answer was calm, confident."I will do it."
But the voice did not stop.
THE VOICE:"The man who abandoned a dimension… to live free and peacefully."
FA went silent.Expression unreadable.
THE VOICE:"The man who had all the blessings… blessed with the best timeline.And yet—FAILED to protect it."
Its tone cut like a blade.
THE VOICE:"Again and again you try. Again and again you fail.Killing yourself. Resetting. Returning to the past.And still—failing."
Silence.FA stood. Unmoving.
Because he knew.It was true.
THE VOICE:"Tell me, Asahi Rentaro.What have you learned?"
FA's head lowered. His eyes empty.He had no answer.No lesson.Only blood.Only endless mistakes.
THE VOICE:"You abandoned a whole dimension.So that others could live. So that others could enjoy their blessings.What a hero."
The voice twisted. Mocking.
THE VOICE:"But for that one dimension—you were nothing but a villain.A curse.They suffered.They still fight. Without blessings. Without hope."
The words clawed at him.Tore open every buried scar.
And then—
THE VOICE:"He is coming.He will take your one and only blessing.The only blessing that exists in the dimensional verse."
FA's head hung low.His body shook.
Then—
A giggle.A sharp inhale.
And laughter.
Mad. Twisted. Wild.
"Ahaha… Ahahahahahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHARARARARRAHAHAHA!!"
The void shook with his madness.
He lifted his head.His eyes burned.A grin carved itself across his face.
FA: "I came this far… by killing every fucking Asahi.Destroying their aims. Their emotions.I am not human.I don't even deserve it."
His voice dropped cold. Heavy.
"But—"
His eyes flared."I am the only one who is going to win."
He spread his arms, laughing.
"I've killed so many Asahi's for this.I will find it.Who I was.What I was doing.Who killed me."
His grin sharpened.
"I AM THE WINNER."
And the void fell silent.
