Chapter Thirty-Nine: Daisuke's Will:

October 30th, 1999.

11:45 p.m.

Daisuke sat alone on his porch while Anna slept in her room.

-Daisuke-

I will be dead by tomorrow. However, I won't let them win. I couldn't overpower the Mother, but she might end this curse.

I want my daughter to live a normal life. I had a done a good job until we left Kobe.

I gritted my teeth.

Damn it! She tracked us down. Why can't they leave us alone? Still, I blame myself for that. Kato-san said we would be safer in the village, but I got bored. I wanted to get out. I wanted Anna-chan to experience life outside of the village. I knew the risks.

I rubbed my forehead.

Looking back, it was quite selfish. But I had to get away. Now…

I shook my head.

Can't focus on that now. I have bigger things to worry about. Yes. I should focus on Anna-chan. She needs to lead a normal and happy life. I will do anything to make that happen.

But I don't have much time left.

I put my hand to my chest.

There is so much Anna-chan doesn't know. I wish it could stay that way. I don't think that's possible anymore.

I sighed.

I gave Kato instructions on what to do. It won't be enough. Haruka will come after Anna-chan when she realizes the truth.

I slammed my foot on the porch.

I can't let that happen. I can't let that happen!

I breathed heavily.

Calm down. You can do this. You have to.

I start to feel better.

I have too much on my mind right now. I should sleep, but my head won't let me.

I closed my fists in my lap.

I pray I can pull this all off after my death. I'm counting on you, Kato-san. You too, Anna-chan. You have to live through this! Live a happy and normal life for me.

Make me proud.

-Outside-

Daisuke ended up falling asleep on the porch until six in the morning.
