[7:00 AM]

[13 Hours after the Kagoshima incident]

[Room 617]

"I can't sleep." Says Ninomiya naked with a blanket and Alice as his woman at the side.

"We went from enemies to intimate in a span of what like 10 hours?" Ninomiya laughs hysterically

Alice curls her fingers on his chest, "I never had any intention of hurting you in the first place. I had to do it because you weren't in control."

"You mean my family did this to me?"Ninomiya asks.

"You would've recovered your memories if this device wasn't placed on your chest. That's a theory, but you're now in a constant state of illusion and reality." States Alice.

"Now that you talk about it, I don't feel hungry, nor sleepy, not any desire to drink. My illusions have disappeared?" Ninomiya feels shocked.

"What is inside of me?" He asks with a scared face.

Alice takes a deep breath,

"The Relic Of Creation."

[Office 55]

[Hiori's Quarters]

Hiori has been researching the Relic of Creation from the looks of papers around her office.

[Alice Explaining]

"The Relic of Creation is a relic older than the universe- no it is what made this universe."

"Why is something that precious doing inside of me?" Ninomiya questions.

"Who knows, I have a limited memory like you. I'm still trying to piece together the puzzle. But it felt like you and I found it in a cave. I just remember the conversation we had.

'We found it, we can now end the war without the curse. Now you don't have to use what the empress gave you. Never use it.'

That's all I remember." Alice has a headache after that.

Ninomiya puts his hand towards his head,

"Never use it, huh. 'we should have never used it.' A war we wanted to end. Like me, you are stuck with illusions.

What am I even getting myself into?"

Alice comforts him, "For me it isn't illusions, It will work out in the end for the both of us."

"For the Empress, we kill, we live. Death is nothing more than a service to the empire." Ninomiya states in an illusioned state.

Alice takes notice, "There still is hope." She realizes.

Ninomiya exits his state and returns to reality.

"Was I gone?"

"Yup for good, at least it seems you still are there." Alice cries.

[Office 55]

Hiori sketches something, as Akame enters her quarters.

"Professor, you called me?"

Hiori still focused,

"We begin in 1 hour, your body swap surger."

"Thank you professor."

Akame then heads towards sector 4 of Dogma.

[Sector 4 Hallway]

[Base Dogma, Yakushima Island]

[Department of RnD]

[8:30 AM]

The view from the window was eye catching.

The elevator goes down as a big open space in the middle of the building has rain coming over from an open roof.

The building had approximately 210 floors.

Akame reaches the room Hiori gave. She takes off her clothes.

She heads naked in the surgery room.

"I have given you a temporary body for now. Let's give you a permanent one shall we?", Hiori puts on a mask and gloves.

Akame lies down, and the surgery begins.

[Occupied]

[Surgery Going On : Brain Transplant]

[DND]

[In a place unknown]

A man with a red eye halo above his head, senses an energy he is familiar with.

"Is that where you are now, Ninomiya."

A portal opens up in front of him.

"You took everything from me, and I will take everything from you."

[Surgery Complete, Status Success]
