Once again, as soon as Ichimatsu came to his senses back in reality, there was a loud bang as a bullet pierced into his heart for the third time that day. He had no idea why, but he was almost beginning to enjoy the pain he felt after coming back. Knowing how his brothers felt only made him want to be a better person even more. Then again, he had to remind himself that he could no longer be seen. His existence was useless.

As darkness enveloped Ichimatsu, he closed his eyes, hoping he could prepare himself for what would be next. If he was going to experience what it felt like to be each of his brothers, from the order things were going in, he'd be Choromatsu next. How disappointing.

"What am I even doing..." Ichimatsu thought as his body floated around in darkness. "I could just run away...and none of this would even happen..."

Ichimatsu opened up his eyes, finding that he was, as expected, experiencing what it felt like to be his older brother Choromatsu.

But, unexpected emotions filled his mind as he looked about the living room in fear. There, each of his brothers sat around the table. All of them, that is, except for Ichimatsu who was off in the corner, fast asleep.

"He's finally asleep.." Choromatsu thought, staring down at his magazine. "I hope he doesn't dream what's his reality then. If he could just have peace in his dreams, I'm sure he'd feel a lot better. Today wasn't a bad day at all. We all went out for lunch then took a walk around the park. But it seems that in these days that nothing makes Ichimatsu smile. He only smiles when he's around cats. But after awhile, I know even cats won't help the loneliness he feels."

"Hey, Choromatsu," Osomatsu said, smirking a little. "What magazine are you reading?"

"He's trying to bother me, isn't he? Especially since he's still keen on catching me...doing things. He thinks I'm not better than he is, apparently," Choromatsu thought as he pushed his magazine across the table to his eldest brother.

"What does it say?" Todomatsu giggled, and Jyushimatsu laughed with him.

"It says..." Osomatsu mumbled, staring at the letters. "wait,"

"What's wrong, my brother?" Karamatsu asked, leaning over Osomatsu's shoulder to look at the magazine. Their faces both fell from the title of it.

"What's wrong with the latest issue of 'Let's find a job!'?" Choromatsu asked with a sigh.

"You seriously wouldn't read something like this, would you?" Osomatsu snorted. "You're the last person we expect to be getting a job. You just want to sit in your room all day, Fa..."

Osomatsu was cut short as Choromatsu slammed his fist down on his brother's head.

"Stop!" he hissed, and Osomatsu just grinned, rubbing under his nose.

"But we're brothers," Osomatsu said smugly.

"That doesn't make any difference!" Choromatsu snapped, snatching his magazine away from Osomatsu and Karamatsu.

"They don't understand how important it is for us to find jobs..." Choromatsu thought, sitting down on the green sofa. "We can't keep on like this forever. I know we had jobs once, but that didn't work out. It didn't work out at all...especially the way we all left. It really made Osomatsu angry and upset. I mean, I can understand him...but still..."

Choromatsu glanced over at Ichimatsu as he yawned softly, awakening from his sleep.

"Ichimatsu please tell us what's wrong. None of us hate you. We just want you to be happy again...you used to be happy...right..? Please tell me you'll be okay. Please tell me everything will be fine in the end! Please reassure me that you'll never try to kill yourself again..we love you too much to just lose you. It was so hard while you were at the hospital. I seriously pretended that you didn't exist, just to try to cope. But that didn't work. Even though you never say much and act distant and cold half the time, we all love you very much..." Choromatsu thought, his heart beginning to faster and faster as he began to feel quite anxious.

At that moment, once again, the entire world went black, bringing Ichimatsu back to reality.
