- Everything was burning.
- There was nothing but fire, ash and smoke.
- And all I felt was nothing but pain, pain and despair.
- Pinned beneath a huge piece of concrete, there I lay paralyzed my body refusing to respond no matter how much I try desperately to save myself.
- I, Mash Kyrielight am going to die here. Never even knowing what lies beyond the Chaldea I've lived in all my life.
- It was truly unfair.
- But then again, was life ever really fair?
- Born in a lab, made to be an experiment to obtain some unknown higher power. Only to die, never even obtaining that power.
- It all felt like one big joke.
- "Ah, I never even got to see a clear sky. I was really looking forward to it too."
- My body was growing heavy, I feel my breath hitch and my eyelids flutter. Everything was starting to go blurry.
- My body is about to give in.
- I am about to die.
- [No, not yet. You still have a destiny to fulfill.]
- What?
- A blurry figure, spiky hair, dark clothing, the figure is crouched over me yet I can't seem to see who he is.
- Who was that? Was it Senpai? Didn't he collapse a while ago?
- What was he saying? Destiny? She was about to die, her wounds were to grievous to heal, was she hallucinating?
- [Incorrect, while I am not physically present I am still here. But we don't have much time to waste, Mash Kyrielight I ask you.]
- [Do you wish to live?]
- ....What?
- What kind of question is that? Of course I want to live!
- I don't want to die yet! I still want to live! To experience the world and see the sky!
- I want to live!
- The figure stays quiet for a moment before nodding in assent.
- [Very well, then I have a proposal for you Mash Kyrielight. I will help you live, I will help you survive.]
- [But in return, you must save the world. Are these terms acceptable?]
- Save the world...?
- Isn't that Chaldea's goal? To save the world?
- Then I accept! Of course I'll accept.
- I don't want to die after all.
- The figure nods again and rises, but to my shock I notice that his body begins to glow.
- [Then the contract is sealed. I will lend you my strength, although you can't use it yet. You will have to become stronger first.]
- "Who are you?"
- [I am thou,
- thou art I
- The pact is formed, the promise is made.
- You will see me again in the future Mash Kyrielight, but for now
- Sleep.]
- The figure disperses in blue motes of light and my body once again begins to grow heavy.
- Strange, how did I not notice before?
- ......
- Ah, I feel tired.
- It feels different this time, like I'm falling asleep.
- Yes, sleep. Sleep sounds good.
- As I close my eyes and give in to the oblivion of unconsciousness I distantly hear the blare of a siren.
