Chapter 34 — Yura's Last Shower: The Door That Bleeds
---
3:47 AM | Tokyo Loft — Bathroom Floor, Blood-Streaked Walls, Cold Water
Yuuto pushed open the door.
The light flickered.
Yura was gone.
But the tub…
The mirror…
The walls…
Were soaked in blood.

The Message
On the mirror, in red smears—
Words written with trembling fingers:
> "You chose wrong."
> "I never wanted to live."
> "But someone else did."
And under it…
> "You've awakened the Second Curse."

Reika Breaks
Yuuto turned. Reika stood behind him—
Eyes wide, hands shaking.
> "She's really gone…"
She collapsed.
> "I thought if you picked someone, the curse would stop—"
Yuuto caught her.
But her body was hot. Burning.
> "Reika?!"
On her back—
A new curse mark bloomed.
Black. Twisting.
And inside the mark…
Was Yura's name.

Yuki's Obsession
Yuki sat alone in the kitchen.
Smiling.
Drawing Aika's face in lipstick on the table.
> "If he touched the cursed girl…"
"Then she's the core."
She kissed the drawing.
> "Break Aika… and I get Yuuto forever."

Aika's Secret
Aika stood on the rooftop.
Naked. Barefoot. Bleeding slightly from her thigh.
The curse mark on her chest had changed—
Now it pulsed with Reika's heartbeat.
She whispered:
> "It's not just a curse anymore…"
> "It's a bond."
Behind her, Hana appeared—holding a black book.
> "We need to talk, Aika."
> "You don't remember, do you…?"
"You were the first one marked."
