- So Haruki and his team end up in a research hospital, possibly the next location for di(e)ce. Also, Haruki hasn't been sleeping properly. At one point, due to the sound of a bell, he faints and dreams about killing Kazuki. When he wakes up again, he meets a doppleganger named Shinzaki who looks exactly like Kazuki! Who feeds him a sob story and Haruki is like I'll help you kay.
- They go from room to room, people keep dying, Haruki questions whether this is a real di(e)ce after all.
- Finally, Haruki and Shinzaki end up together while Kirito and an old dude go for help. Haruki is weakened from the gas, running around and finally, the chill from the water he was doused with. Haruki and Shinzaki talk and finally Haruk realizes that Shinzaki has been playing him. The old man returns! With a gun!
< Kazuki > Shinzaki: Hey, do I really resemble him? Naruse Kazuki. In order to get close to you, I was chosen.
< Kazuki > Old man: Like a trapped rat.
< Kazuki > THEY START MAKING DEATH THREATS
< Kazuki > Haruki laughs, 'seems fun, but no matter how many times you try, it's impossible'
< Haruki > ;;
< Kazuki > Shinzaki: 'the only person able to kill a King is a King. We know that much. But this is different.'
< Kazuki > BASICALLY THEY ARE GOING TO RESEARCH THE WAYS TO KILL A KING
< Kazuki > to see what is effective and stuff
- So Haruki is now their guinea pig! But Haruki is down with that.
Haruki: I said so, right? I'd like to see what it's like to die once.
- He eggs them on to the point that Haruki actually guides the old man, pointing out "This is the heart" and the old man shoots him.
< Kazuki > Shinzaki is shocked!
< Kazuki > Old guy goes 'yep that'd kill him'
< Kazuki > HARUKI REVIVES
< Kazuki > 'I will send you into despair'
< Kazuki > OLD MAN DIES from gun shots
< Kazuki > HARUKI SHOWS MERCY AND OFFERS SHINZAKI TO GO IF HE VALUES HIS LIFE
< Kazuki > SHINZAKI PROTESTS
< Kazuki > HARUKI GOES 'DON'T YOU DARE CALL TO ME USING THAT VOICE! Even if you're a fake, don't use that face!'
< Kazuki > basically haruki can't handle even killing someone who looks like kazuki
< Kazuki > SHINZAKI RUNS OFF
< Kazuki > HARUKI STARTS SOBBING, THEN LAUGHING
< Kazuki > haruki: I'm... still okay. I... still can't kill Kazuki. It's... good if I can't kill him!
- Shinzaki is gone (or he returns I AM NOT TOO SURE) and another doppleganger shows up.
< Kazuki > Kazuki: I... finally found you! /RUN TO HARUKI
< Kazuki > haruki: DON'T COME NEAR! /WAVES A GUN AT
< Kazuki > kazuki: haruki! What are you doing? Even after I came here to save you...!
< Kazuki > haruki: Are you really... Kazuki?
< Kazuki > Kazuki: Of course! Looking at my face, who else could I be? it's so obvious I'm me!
< Kazuki > Haruki: What a stupid thing to say... you really do seem to be kazuki.
< Kazuki > Kazuki: Aah! The person who calls another an idiot is an idiot, y'know!
< Kazuki > haruki: Even down to Kazuki's speech patterns... you;ve really studied, haven't you?
< Kazuki > Haruki: well done.
< Kazuki > Kazuki: haah? What are you talking about?
< Kazuki > ANYWAY HARUKI STARTS SAYING EVEN THOUGH I LET YOU GO YOU STILL COME BACK, WHY?!
< Kazuki > And kazuki is all wtf are you saying anyway we need to get your wound looked at quick!
< Kazuki > AND HERE IS THE CINCHER
< Kazuki > haruki: Why... why are you making me kill you?!
< Kazuki > Kazuki: Haruki!
< Kazuki > Haruki: DON'T USE THAT VOICE
< Kazuki > Haruki: It's wrong... you're not... you're not Kazuki!!
< Kazuki > ENDS WITH GUNSHOTS
- Anyway, when he wakes up again, he's back with Kirito and Gara. Gara yells at Kirito for being a fail!knight and being surprised because the corpse really looked like Naruse Kazuki.
< Kazuki > and then goes: 'jeez, they'd do anything to get close to Haruki, huh :/'
< Kazuki > ANYWAY haruki goes 'yeah, really' and starts laughing unstably
< Kazuki > OBVIOUSLY IN THE WAY THAT HE IS HIDING SOBS TOO
< Kazuki > Haruki: aaah. Again... I can hear the sound of a clock.
I will probably essay a little on this. AND I AM TAKING THIS AS CANON. O-Oh my crazy boy.
