"...Ghmm...haaa...haaa" I slump against a crumbling tree with a dull thud. My breath comes in ragged gasps, my heart is pounding wildly as I spit out a black mass that seems thicker than before.
I hear the hiss of this sludge as it starts to eat through the tree's roots, accompanied by a plume of rising smoke. It seems more corrosive than in the past—this mixture of obsession and the Number 0's power is proving more destructive than ever.
"..." I look at my veins, now completely black, throbbing with a sickly hue that's impossible to hide. Because of this, I can't go to school, so I just stay here.
'Ayane's angelic power surged... a massive increase.' I can see Ayane's power from here, all the way at her house. Unfortunately, this hurts me, because it means I've already killed Ayane at least twice, maybe more?
