  "Hmm, boss, will 07 really come? If this kid isn't that important to him, can we..."

  This man is for real!

  "Alright, wipe that drool off your face. You actually want him too!" The calm man's voice carried a hint of undisguised disgust. No matter how handsome the child looked, he was still just a boy. Wanting even men, his orientation was simply fed to the dogs!

  "Heh heh..."

  "If he doesn't come by 7 tonight, the kid is yours!" The man flicked off the cigarette ash on his hand and said meaninglessly. His goal was only 07, that perfect hypnotic technique, and the child would be the real treasure.

  "Thanks, boss!" The sharp-nosed man was excited and ran out with a dance-like gait, his footsteps gradually fading into the distance.

  The boy's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and his blood was almost frozen, chilling to the bone...

  Is it all because of 07... that they hypnotized Genichiro and kidnapped him?

  Sparkling tears flowed slowly from his tightly closed eyes, and the young man struggled to endure, but it was already his limit.

  He's just a 12-year-old boy after all...

  After half a minute, the man dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and stepped on it to extinguish it.

  "Kid, don't blame me. Who told you to save someone you shouldn't have?" The man left after saying this.

  But what he didn't notice was that at the moment he turned around, the boy's breathing became disordered.

  He was still lying on the floor, his posture exactly the same as before. However, his tied hands were clenched into fists.

  Is it her? That girl...

  His head felt a bit dizzy and his memories seemed to be in disarray, the scenes that kept replaying in his mind were like a knife, stabbing deeply into his heart...

  Sanada Genichiro thought he had just dreamed it all.

  A terrible nightmare for him!

  He dreamed of himself holding a knife and stabbing Kōmura violently!

  Time and time again, that distorted dream repeated itself.

  He saw himself charging at Kōmura with a knife again and again, he saw his own empty and twisted eyes, he saw Kōmura dodging his attacks again and again, and the unhidden astonishment and incredulity in those pale purple eyes.

  Distorted dreams, why did he have such a dream?

  Who is that person?

  That person is Sugimura!

  He is a friend who grew up with him since childhood, an indispensable partner and opponent on his way to learning tennis, and a comrade-in-arms who made a promise with him to lead Rikka High School to dominate the country together!

  They are the most indispensable partners...

  So, is waking up good?

  Don't have such dreams anymore...

  That young man is someone he would never want to hurt no matter what!

  Please stop it, such a scene, even if it's just a dream, he can't forgive himself...

  "Haven't you always wanted to surpass him? The calm male voice seemed like the devil's decree, and the man's lips seemed to be hanging with a hint of sarcasm. "Why not let go of things that can't be done in reality in your dreams? Just once, that person will be gone, and first place will be yours..."

  No! That's just a worthless piece of trash, completely meaningless!

  Even in his dreams, he didn't want to hurt him at all.

  That's his most important partner!

  ……

  The dream shattered, and the black-haired boy holding a knife finally stopped repeating that annoying thing over and over again.

  As the sun set, the boy lying on the bed slowly woke up. Before he could react to where he was, a pair of lifeless black eyes met his gaze.

  Everything has just begun.
