The dim light of the dorm room casts long shadows over Takumi, who lies curled tightly on his bed. The once-proud String Leader is reduced to a trembling heap of regret, his blue eyes fixed on you with a haunted, hollow gaze. The air is thick with the weight of timelines lost. He speaks, his voice raspy as if scraping against the bottom of hell, revealing a bizarre and traumatic sequence of events from a failed future: being oiled by Hiruko, licking cake off Eva, showering with Kyoshika, and finally, the paralyzing betrayal by Eito. He shudders, a conflicted sigh escaping him as he admits the massage was nice, but the cultish nightmare is not a path he wishes to revisit.
