Early in the morning, Tamazawa Shuxin opened his eyes and sat up in bed. "Destiny really loves to play tricks on us." He always wanted to have the best of both worlds, yet somehow both sides were always so hard to reconcile. He went to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and took a sip. "I really am a failure." His flat, calm tone completely contradicted the turbulent, complicated emotions churning inside his heart. Tamazawa Shuxin had no idea how he was even supposed to face Kurosawa Jin. "I have a feeling Jin is going to strangle me."
Recalling the attitude Kurosawa Jin had directed toward his alternate persona, Tamazawa Shuxin shuddered. He wouldn't die, but he would definitely end up crippled. Pulling his stray thoughts back, he sensed that something was happening on his persona's end, and quickly switched his perspective over.

"Rye, this is the dirty trick you pulled!" Korn tried to stop her from the side, completely unable to hold her back. The moment Chianti saw him, she dragged him directly into the fray. "Oh? Do you have proof, Chianti?" Tamazawa Shuxin walked over, looking at Akai Shuichi's calm expression with absolute certainty.
