Though you can breathe, it’s so, so deep, it’s pitch black, wet and freezing cold. No matter how much you look around, no matter how much you strain your eyes against that darkness, you are certain; you’re completely, utterly alone here.
You've forgotten how to see.
There is nothing left in this world.
You don't float, here. You're simply underwater - leagues beneath the sea. Deep, deep, deep down below, where nobody can hear you.
Nobody will ever hear you again.
The color here isn't merely dark blackness - it's something that pierces your soul. The sort of thing that threatens to tear you apart and make you as if you never existed
And the whole time, the words echo in your mind:
Never forget, that when you feel happiness or joy, it will never last long.
All things expire in the end. All things return to null.
When day is bright, alway remember horrible night.
...Or at least, that's the scene you believe yourself to be in for a brief moment. Once you return to the present, you find yourself in the library still, surrounded by shelf after shelf full of books. And, should you check, your badge is glowing faintly as one of the fragments goes from clear to blue.
You've found another Fragment.
There is also a book in your hands with the name Hizumi Mizushiro emblazoned upon it.
Hizumi Mizushiro. 16. Clone of Yaiba Mizushiro. The Devil, fated to destroy humanity. Life expectancy: 18-19 years. Complications due to the cloning process have resulted in genetic abnormalities leading to decreased functionality of internal organs until death. Other than organ failure, the only other possible cause of death is by Ayumu Narumi.
The text begins in a neat print, shifting to a handwritten scrawl as the words continue.
Created with high charisma and intelligence to draw in friends and companions to assist in the destruction of humanity upon reaching adulthood. As the Devil, I can’t connect with others. But even a fake relationship is better than none at all.
I don’t want to be abandoned again. But I can’t be saved, either. So I’ll maintain what I can get to avoid that dark loneliness again. If I try to wish for things that can’t be granted, I won’t be able to hold it together anymore.
It would be so much easier if I could accept death.
I wish I could have been saved.
There are a few more blank pages, and then the beginning of a timeline listing out events in Hizumi’s life: Birth, transferal to a foster family, meeting Kiyotaka Narumi, studies, travels, meeting Ayumu, final meeting with Ayumu, and then his time spent in Imeeji. The line stretches on to the end of the book with plenty of blank space after the various games and events he’s participated in, eventually ending in Graduation > Return Home > Death.
[and time to mosey onto one of those chained pens . . .

But I can’t can be saved, either. So I’ll maintain what I can get to avoid that dark loneliness again. If I try to wish for things that can’t be granted, I won’t be able to hold it together anymore. Something new might grow, and that's scary. I've been hurt by wishing before. But I still have dreams.
I wish I could have been saved. something would save me.
oh, and just going to scratch out Graduation, Return Home, Death, don't need those either]
[The words have been written - or scratched out and edited, in some cases. Is there anything else he'd like to add, or will he continue perusing the library/head elsewhere?
The bell is also tolling again. The wild roses have reached the desk upon which the explorers’ books lay.]
