"Yes, I think you're right on that. But, a puzzle piece to what exactly? The bead doesn't have a hole from what I can tell so I don't think it's attached to anything."

"It resembles an ornament on something that was probably tacked on or held together by friction. Probably placed in something like a hot bronze cast and allowed to cool, locking it into place." Kyosuke tried to find a logical explanation to the odd bead. "As to what it's attached to, I'm just as much in the dark as you are."

Thinking about where it might connect to isn't exactly going to help out much now. The darkness outside was still rather heavy so, he reckoned the best course of action is to rest. Judging from Kurona's words, they may have quite a walk ahead of them.

"Kyosuke, I'm a little concerned over Prejudice. What do you think could have happened to it?"

"I don't know. Things have been rather weird around here from the onset." After much of the events in the underground, Kyosuke felt a little weary. Sleepy.

"We could try asking Kurona for more but, I don't think she'd rather talk about it. She's been here for years, as she said. It may not be wise to bring up more bad memories. But don't worry...I swear I'll get you all out of here--

Kaede..."


Feeling a little exhausted, Kyosuke soon went off to Dreamland, his head leaning too much on one side that he practically fell asleep on Kaede's shoulder, the steady rhythm of his breathing slowing down as mind and body temporarily shut down.

"Dai-kun? I'm gonna ask you something. You don't have to answer it if you want but... recently I've been getting flashes of something related to my past. Mainly that a woman was covered in blood and her head looked beaten in. For whatever reason, I feel like I shouldn't remember it but part of me really wants to. I don't know how to stop the flashes. So, how do you distract yourself to not focus on other things, Dai-kun?"

Kurona dropped by just in time to see the worry on the pink-haired girl. She mentioned something about her past, and something about wanting to forget and distract herself from one of the boys. Daichi, she believed he was called.

"Or-- not the sky. Just look at any pattern you can see; then try to find something that looks like an animal. That would ought to take your mind off. When it's me, I like to look for swords on the walls."

"Or, you could just sleep it off. Count sheep or something! That's what I do."


"I would agree with him. I would also advise bringing up your traumas around this God-forsaken town. The darkness takes advantage of such lingering memories within you and uses it to torment you." Kurona walked over to Kyosuke's position and rummaged through his stuff for a while, hoping that their so-called leader brought something for a distraction. A radio and some books--

"Ah!" As soon as her hands touched the cover, Kurona immediately drew out one book--Flaura and Fauna of Prejudice: Medicinal Applications. Seeing this, she was able to muster a small smile, recalling a fond memory from far away. Taking it in her hands, she returned to Miura.

"Here. Treat it like a picture book of sorts. That should help distract you from your thoughts and help you sleep. Just stay away from the more...obnoxious entries." Kurona handed Miura the book with a small smile before heading on her way.

"A good friend of mine wrote and drew those pictures...That was a long time ago..."

Kurona had also noticed Isshiki and the strange girl she met underground had gone off on their own so she immediately set out to look for them. She didn't care if they were having a nice private moment. She soon found them, talking by themselves within a secluded area in the Ironworks.

"Hate to ruin the moment but--you guys should go to sleep now. We have a long way to go tomorrow--Hmm?" Upon arriving, Kurona immediately caught on to a rather, familiar scent.

"That woman...she was here wasn't she?" Kurona immediately scanned the room, searching for any trace of her. "What is she up to this time? Anyway, get some shut eye now. You'll need it if you want to keep up. You, most of all." Kurona pointed at Irie before heading back down to get some rest for her own.

Morning time.

"First order of business is to make our way towards the drawbridge. It's going to be quite a long walk so make sure you guys have everything you need." Kurona reminded the entourage about the route they had to take in order to get to the town of Prejudice.

"We're all set here. How long would this walk take us?" Kyosuke asked, holstering his new arsenal among his old ones.

"Around two or three days probably, depending on how often you guys need to catch your breath. We'll be seeing less and less structures on our way there so cover would be very limited."

"Would we be encountering a lot more of those things on our way there?" Kyosuke asked.

"Hmm...we should be pretty clear once we go past the graveyard. However..."

"However?"

"It should've already gone back to hibernating at this point..." Kurona thought, recalling something that she's seen before. "No, never mind. Coast should be pretty clear. Let's move."
