I walk over to Ronin's desk,

noticing that there's no

homework laying out

for me to examine.

The desk's flat surface is

bare, looking as if it hasn't

been used.

"Tetsuya." Ronin says,

walking into the room.

I turn around, being

annoyed,

"Didn't you say you needed

help with your homework?"

Precious time has been

wasted.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

I don't want to keep Tsukino

waiting for too long.

"Sorry, I was in the library

on the third floor."

Ronin apologizes,

placing down a mysterious

looking book that didn't

seem to resemble

a high school text

book.

The book is merely

red, having the title

in gold letters.

It says,

Cast the Die.

I end up being drawn

to the book,

opening the first

page.

"What is,"

Before I can finish

my question,

Ronin uses a sharp object

to pierce through my chest.

I stare at my younger brother AS

my eyes widen, being flabbergasted.

Ronin's expression is dark as he

laughs,

it's a laugh of sheer madness.
