Kaitoā€™s secret past
*Kaito and Miku were on a drive with their parents to go see their cousins Rin and Len.*
Kaito: Mom, I canā€™t wait to meet my cousins!
Luka (mom): I bet theyā€™ll be excited to see you, too.
Gakupo (dad): Your aunts Mayu and Neru will be happier to see you than Rin and Len. Theyā€™re only Mikuā€™s age! *laughs*
*Kaito looks over at his 1-year-old sister, Miku, who is sucking her thumb*
Kaito: Aw, no fairā€¦I wanna have friendsā€¦.
Gakupo: Oh, you will. Donā€™t forget about your cousin Gumi and..hang onā€¦*looks in the rearview mirror and sees M**ko driving a roadroller very fast towards them with a demonic look on her face* Oh noā€¦.
*Kaito sees it too*
Kaito: MIKU! GET OUT! *pushes Miku out of the car, she lands in a grassy area away from the edge of the cliff*
*M**ko smashes the roadroller into the car, then keeps driving. The car that Kaito is in flips over the edge of the cliff, plummeting towards the landscape far below*
Luka: EVERYONE HANG ON!!!!
*The car nosedives onto rocks, Lukaā€™s head is flung back and her neck snaps*
Kaito: MOMMY! *coughs hard and starts crying*
*The car flips over and Gakupoā€™s head slams into the steering wheel. He is instantly killed*
Kaito: D-daddy! *coughs harder, it is extremely hard for him to breathe*
*The car lands upside down in a meadow 10 feet away from where a woman Kaito met a year ago, Miki (SF-A2 Miki), was playing with her 7-year -old daughter IA*
Miki: AAAAAH! What the heck?! *sees the car* Oh my goshā€¦.IA, stay back!*runs to the car and sees Luka and Gakupo* Whatā€¦what happened here?!
Kaito: Mom..my..Daddyā€¦I canā€™tā€¦..*crying hard*
Miki: *sees Kaito* Hey, kid, are you okay?! *rushes over to him and pulls him out of the car* *looks at him*
*Kaitoā€™s head is bleeding, tears are streaming down his face and his breathing is shallow and ragged*
Kaito: Help meā€¦.I canā€™tā€¦.breatheā€¦Helpā€¦my..sisterā€¦.*collapses*
Miki: Oh my god, we have to get you to a hospital! *picks up Kaito and runs up the cliff, where an ambulance is already waiting, the paramedics load Kaito into the ambulance on a stretcher.*
*Miki sees Miku*
Miki: Oh that must be his sisterā€¦Sir is she okay?
Paramedic: I think so. She seems to have hurt her arm, to what extent weā€™re not sure. The boy, howeverā€¦his injuries are more severe. His quick thinking to get his sister out of the car saved her.
Miki: Goodā€¦Letā€™s hope heā€™ll be okay.
*later*
Miki: Will he be alright?
Doctor: Weā€™re not sureā€¦He has a collapsed lung and major damage to the head. A piece of metal from the car was embedded in his heart. This will definitely impact him in the future, by how much weā€™re not sure. His sister is fine, her aunt is going to pick her up. You can go see Kaito if you want, heā€™s in room 129.
Miki: T-thank you! *tearful*
*Miki runs to room 129, when she hears a child crying*
*She goes into the room and sees Kaito in a corner, crying with his head in his hands. On the other side of the room is his hospital bed, missing a pillow, and his mask that was helping him breathe was obviously thrown off*
Miki: Kaito? Are you all right? *sits down in front of him and pats his shoulder*
Kaito: *looks up* M..Miki?
Miki: Hey, itā€™s okay! Youā€™re gonna be okay! *starts to panic a bit*
Kaito: E-everyoneā€™s goneā€¦Is Miku okay?! *tears are streaming down his face*
Miki: Hey, Mikuā€™s okay! Sheā€™s with your cousins. And your parents are still here with you in spiritā€¦They would want you to be brave and move forwardā€¦
Kaito: Butā€¦Iā€¦I donā€™t know how!!!! I canā€™t be brave, I canā€™t..I canā€™t!!! *sobs hard, starts coughing and having a hard time breathing*
Miki: Kaito!!! *carries him back to his bed and puts the mask on him so he can breathe* Itā€™s okay, breathe, just breathe, deep breathsā€¦.
*Kaito listens to Miki and starts breathing normally again*
Miki: Donā€™t worry, Iā€™ll help you be brave! You donā€™t have to be alone, Iā€™ll be here for you..*hugs him and lets him get his tears out*
*Kaito stops crying and wipes his nose on his sleeve*
Miki: Youā€™re okay, Kaito. *wipes his eyes*
*Kaito eventually got out of the hospital. He had bad asthma growing up, but it didnā€™t show often, and neither did his crushing depression. When he was 16, he left his auntā€™s house and ran away because he was in so much despair. His parentsā€™ screams haunted him every night he spent in the alley. One day, M**ko discovered his hideout and kept him there, cutting him every day with her favorite knife. He cut his own wrists as well, planning to off himself as soon as she was done with him.*
*IA, now 16 years old, was walking along the street when she heard a boy crying*
IA: Huh? Hey, whoā€™s there? Are you okay? *gets to the alley and sees Kaito* K..Kaito?! Is that you? What happened?! *sits in front of him*
*Kaito looks up and notices her* Get out! If you donā€™t run, youā€™ll be cursed too!
IA: Cursed? What do you mean?
*Kaito hears footsteps* Oh noā€¦Sheā€™s comingā€¦
*M**ko comes into the alley*
M**ko: Oh, you havenā€™t cut yourself tonight? Why not? I suppose I should FIX THAT for youā€¦hehe. *cuts Kaitoā€™s shoulder, making sure it will leave a scar* Uninstall is tonight. Iā€™ll make SURE itā€™s you this time. *laughs and leaves*
IA: H-how can you let her do that to you?! *pushes up Kaitoā€™s sleeves and sees his scarred arms* Oh my godā€¦How can you do this to yourself, Kaito?! *pulls him to his feet*
*Kaito looks IA in the eyes, frozen, and then he grabs her wrist and starts running*
IA: W-where are you taking me?!
*Kaito suddenly stumbles and lets go of IAā€™s wrist, falling onto the ground, breathing heavily*
IA: Are you okay? H-hereā€¦Iā€™ll take you to my house, we can take care of your cutsā€¦*helps him up and drapes his arm around her, they walk like that for a bit*
*Kaitoā€™s breathing becomes shallow and ragged*
IA: Hey, hey, we can stop if you need toā€¦Let me know if you need to stop..
Kaito: I swearā€¦Iā€™mā€¦fineā€¦*collapses*
IA: KAITO!!!!! *calls Miki, her mom*
Miki: Hi IA whatā€™s up?
IA: I ran into Kaitoā€¦.
Miki: Is heā€¦okay?
IA: Iā€¦I doubt itā€¦.He has a lot of cuts, all over his arms, and he just collapsedā€¦
Miki: AGH KAITO! Iā€™ll be there right away! Stay calm!!!
*A few minutes later, Miki arrives with her car*
IA: Momā€¦What happened to him?!
Miki: Iā€™ll explain later, we need to get him to the hospitalā€¦
*Miki picks Kaito up and puts him in the backseat, IA gets in the front seat*
Miki: So, when you were 7, Kaito was in that car accident. He had a collapsed lung, and a piece of the car was embedded in his heartā€¦Because of that, he has very bad asthma at times and a weak heart. He also has crushing depressionā€¦.
IA: Oh noā€¦.
*They get to the hospital and get Kaito taken care of. Miki leaves, letting IA sit alone in Kaitoā€™s room*
IA: Kaitoā€¦Iā€™m so sorryā€¦*she realizes sheā€™s crying* What? Why am Iā€¦? No, I canā€™tā€¦.Am I? Someone like him? Butā€¦.I doā€¦I love himā€¦.*covers her face in her hands and cries*
*A hand almost covered in bandages moves hers away from her face and brushes away her tears*
*IA looks up and sees his face*
IA: K..Kaitoā€¦
Kaito: Itā€™s okay, IA, Iā€™ll be okay. *hugs her*
*IA grabs onto him and cries into his shirt*
*Kaito lets her cry, stroking her hair* I promise, Iā€™ll be okay.
IA: P-promise?
Kaito: Of course. *smiles and dries her tears*
*IA smiles*
Kaito: Want to go for a walk?
IA: Sure! *They go up to the roof and send there, looking out at the dark city*
*Kaitoā€™s scarf turns into pixels and starts glitching out in some places*
IA: Itā€™s weird, how she goes after youā€¦.Why canā€™t she pick someone else?
Kaito: She did, at first. She went after my friend SeeU. I managed to bargain with her, so SeeU wouldnā€™t get hurt, butā€¦.SeeU left meā€¦.
*The door to the roof slams open*
SeeU: KAITO!!! *runs up and hugs him* I heard you were here!
Kaito: SeeU?
SeeU: Oh, sorry. *lets go of him*
*Kaitoā€™s hair glitches in and out*
IA: Kaitoā€¦Your hairā€¦..
*Kaito notices it, the rest of him glitches in and out as well*
Kaito: Soā€¦Sheā€™s finally succeededā€¦.
*Kaitoā€™s now pixelated body begins to crumble and disappear*
IA: KAITO!!!
Kaito: Pleaseā€¦Bring me backā€¦You canā€¦.with this headsetā€¦singā€¦.my songā€¦.Iā€™m sorryā€¦.Pleaseā€¦.Iā€™m sorrā€¦.
Robotic voice: EEEEEEEEā€¦.ERRORā€¦..SYSTEM SHUTDOWNā€¦.ERROR, ERRā€¦.ORā€¦.*The rest of Kaitoā€™s body disappears, leaving only his headset behind*
*IA falls to her knees, tears spilling out of her eyes*
SeeU: *covering her mouth* Kaitoā€¦.Sheā€¦.uninstalled you? How?!
*IA covers her own mouth, choked sobs can be heard from behind her hands*
*SeeU pulls IA close to her and hugs her*
*Eventually, IA cried herself to sleep. SeeU put the headset on her ears and listened. She could still hear his voice, singing his song, although it was distorted and cracked. She carried IA back to Mikiā€™s house and the two spent the night there.*
(The next day)
SeeU: IA, put the headset on. You can still hear his voice!
*IA puts the headset on*
IA: I can hear itā€¦But itā€™s getting softerā€¦.
SeeU: Do you know the lyrics to his song?
IA: Yesā€¦.
SeeU: Follow me!!
*They go to the basement*
SeeU: IA, sing the song! Sing with all your energy!
IA: I wonā€™t let his voice die!
*sings the song, as she sings, Kaitoā€™s voice gets louder and stronger, when sheā€™s done the distortion is completely gone*
*The headset falls to the ground. Pixels appear on the floor, forming the shape of Kaito. The pixels melt into a full body, and he picks up the headset and puts it on. Kaito has returned.*
IA: Kā€¦Kaito?
Kaito: IAā€¦Thank youā€¦*hugs her, tears spill from both their eyes*
IA: I thoughtā€¦.I thought you were gone for goodā€¦.
Kaito: I wasnā€™t. And I never will be, thanks to you.
