Fragmentary Chapter 4 

Reunion 

It was not long after that she met the suspicious man once again. 

Just recently, she felt her other self--the one who that man was calling “Tohka”--her heart fell into disorder as my consciousness was dragged out to the surface. 

Despite having said that, the emotions flowing from Tohka’s heart were a little different from the

intense despair from that time. 

Loneliness……forgetting--forgetting something that should never be forgotten, it was like having an unfathomable sense of uneasiness. It was difficult to endure and even worse trying to search for the source of this pain. 

--Waking up, it wasn’t the same battlefield as before, but rather a busy city surrounded by many humans. 

After experiencing countless twist and turns, with that man--she was reunited with Shidou and talked for a while. 

Well, there was the trouble of being deceived by a woman called Origami and forced to compete with a woman named Mukuro. Despite experiencing these various inconveniences, it wasn’t as if there was nothing gained. 

From his appearance, Shidou was a kind person. At least there was no intention to force Tohka to feel despair. Oddly enough though, perhaps Tohka’s despair and sadness came from being connected to this man. 

When Shidou was hurt, Tohka would feel a pain that would hurt her as well. When Shidou struggled, Tohka would also feel her heart grow heavier. 

……A strange phenomena. She realized that she was muttering to herself as she was about to leave. 

“--Don’t let me.” 

“Eh?”

Shidou widened as his eyes that were overcome with surprise. She continued to look down at him with a cold look. 

“Don’t let ‘Tohka’ feel sad.”
