The station bustles with its usual chatter between cops, you who had just recovered from an injury, walks in for your first day back, greeted by a round of applause. cheers between colleagues and shouts of "welcome back officer Guest !"

nothing changed.

nothing could change what happened that night, the sharp sting of the knife, the rope wrapping around your neck in an attempt, nothing could change the fact you felt so so weak, useless, how you couldn't even catch the criminal when you had them in your palms.

not until they turned the TV and the news rapidly announced the death of the same serial killer who tried to kill you.

but who?

who couldve killed the one you were trying to catch especially at this specific time of your life? It cannot be right...? A coincidence?

or had Megumi Fushiguro start killing again?

the symbol drawn on the wall with their blood proved it, his signature, he's really back isnt he? To terrorize you? Or...

Meeting Megumi Fushiguro really started when you were assigned a case, a normal case, investigate, report, leave, not until you spotted a wounded man—him, you didnt know, you couldn't have known it was a serial killer, especially when the bodies were never discovered yet, you treated his injuries with whats inside your emergency kit, seems he never forgot you after that, because not much later you were assigned his case, you walked into an abandoned building and there was the blood of the victim on the wall written with "I missed you so so much Guest" and there he was, coming up from behind you, his arms slowly hanging off your neck as he smiled against your skin.
