Tamaki walks with Kumiko through the door and into the living room where he sees [Name] and his little brother with Ayano cuddling on the couch laughing quietly at the show they were watching. He noted that it was a K-Drama, True Beauty.
When the two of them walked in, they all became silent and looked at them. Tamaki noted how [Name] had greeted Kumiko and ignored him and Ayano greeted the both of them and telling them that there was food in the kitchen if they wanted any. Kumiko just glared at Ayano but then sauntered up to [Name], trying to bring him into a conversation.
"Hey! Nii-san's arm is injured and you're laying on it! Be careful!"
Kumiko pulled a pouty face and her eyes welled up with tears, looking up at [Name], "I-I am really sorry, please forgive me!"
[Name] smiled at her, "It's alright. Would you mind moving over a bit? You're squashing me slightly."
Kumiko was shocked, although she did not let on that she was shocked. Boys would normally always want her near them, they never gave up a chance to be close to her. Her fist tightened for a moment, before unclenching and falling to her side.
[Name] got up off the sofa after a few uncomfortable minutes and went into the kitchen where Tamaki was heating the food for both him and Kumiko.
"How was the date?"
Tamaki stiffened. He turned around slowly, facing the other who was leaning against the fridge. He looked at the other and saw the bandaged arm.
"My date with Kumiko went well," Tamaki looked pointedly at his arm, "But... what happened to you?"
Tamaki felt cold, the cold look that [Name] gave him contained none of the previous warmth,
"Nothing much. The usual."
"I can still help. I will always be here for you -"
Tamaki stopped when [Name] gave him a look of disbelief, he snorted quietly before turning around and opening the fridge before calling out if anyone wanted milk. There were three answers all agreeing.
"I do not need it, but I thank you for the offer. Ayano, could you come in here to show me where the glasses are?"
"Yah! I'm coming."
While the three were all in the kitchen Kumiko tried getting to know Akimitsu, she tried coaxing him into a conversation that was only met with one-word answers and nothing of interest. The conversation truly ended when Akimitsu left her alone in the living room to go into the kitchen.
Kumiko's expression fell into one of annoyance when she watches [Name]'s younger brother go. The date she went on with Tamaki was lacking its usual fire, normally he'd only focus on her and keep her happy, he'd treat her like a queen. But today, he wasn't focused on her as usual, instead of opting to treat her and talking about what topics she would like, he was talking more about his friends, especially [Name] [Last Name]. She dislikes the fact that she does not get preferential treatment when everyone else has.
Kumiko sighed and joined the others in the kitchen, seeing that there is a hustle going on; when she walked into the kitchen, she saw Ayano laughing and giggling at something [Name] said as she was patting Akimitsu's head, the younger of the two, drinking hot chocolate.
She sat down at the table, and it was not long before Tamaki put a plate of food in front of her, he walked to the seat opposite her with his own plate of food. But not making any conversation with her, just looking wistfully at the three that were chattering at the other end of the kitchen.
Tamaki couldn't stop himself, "Are you guys not going to sit down and eat?"
Ayano and [Name] both side-eyed him, before looking at each other again, "Nah, it's alright. Ayano is making us some ramen, so you guys can carry on eating," answered [Name], smiling at Ayano.
"But it's unhealthy," said Kumiko, wrinkling her nose.
"Yeah, it's not good for you."
[Name] looked at the two of them with an unimpressed gaze, "Nothing, about me is healthy," he chuckled, "Just enjoy your food," he turned back to Ayano who was pulling out a pot, "Do you need me to wash and chop the vegetables? I really cannot do any egg things."
Tamaki was astounded, he didn't know that [Name] could be useful in the kitchen, he always thought that he had to do everything for [Name] as it had been before because the boy was not taught to do basic chores before, and only knew little of how to do things around the house.

It was the next day and [Name] knew he would not be staying in this world for long, he was already at 32%. [Name] felt great about the progress, he knew that he has also been doing better for Kiyoshi.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Years passed and [Name] and everyone else has graduated high school. They have all gone on to further education or gone straight into work after college. [Name] himself went to work in a small firm, surprising everyone. Now he was living quite pleasantly with his little brother trying to start an online goods company, selling little trinkets for school and stationery and everyday use.
[Name] got up from his block and walked towards one of his colleagues, and he passed them his finished papers. They thanked him and [Name] walked out into the hallway where there was a vending machine when there was a distant rumble.
He ran back into his section.
"Everybody get down!"
Someone yelled, and everyone dropped. Bullets shattered the glass and screaming ensued. [Name] was not sure why they were being shot at, but he had to get out of this mess otherwise he would not be completing his mission, [Name] was on his last warning, if he did not complete this mission then his soul would be terminated.
[Name] crawled past the other people who were crying and panicking on the floor, he gently pushed past them as he crawled away; he motioned to some of them to stay quiet, they nodded with tearful eyes. As he got everyone to calm down and hide, he heard the heavy thumping of boots.
Then the flipping of a table and multiple things crashing to the ground and a few people whimpered in fear, [Name] suddenly floundered as he felt himself being grabbed roughly and picked up by his collar and dragged.
Then he fell limp. His world darkened, and all feeling left his body. A cold numbness crept in, [Name] could faintly hear the screams of fear as the others were rounded up too.

"Ma'am, we have brought in the test Subject 342, he is currently sedated and in Room 12 in Block D."
"Alright, thank you. I will be down in a bit."
Kumiko finished writing her conclusion for her most recent dissection, then placed the clipboard into a drawer, locked it, opened another drawer and pulled out a clipboard regarding Subject 342, or [Name] [Last Name].
She walked out of Block A; Block A held all of the more dangerous subjects as they would require 24/7 attention and scrutiny from both the guards and the researchers, they would be considered the most dangerous anomalies that threaten the world. There were 4 blocks in total, 204,828 acres in total. The anomalies were placed in the Blocks in descending order.
Kumiko walked out and into the military vehicles that waited for her, they then rushed off to Block D. The base was so big that it took them a solid twenty minutes to reach Block D. She was glad, if she found out more about demons then it would be a massive scientific breakthrough, as people could travel into different worlds and create interdimensional links between other worlds.
She knew that [Name] wasn't from this world. There was always just something off about him. Many times she had seen his eyes change, and many times she noticed that he seems to have an almost instinctual knowledge of how everything works, he knew what to do, and when he was at school, he knew the subjects like they were the back of his hand. Nothing surprised him. Kumiko wanted to know his secrets, and she couldn't wait to experiment on him.
When she opened the door, some of the guards stayed outside while four followed Kumiko in.
After twenty minutes of walking down the sterile corridors, and unlocking many passageways, the entourage finally reached [Name]'s cell where the other was still asleep.
Looking through the glass at Subject 342, Kumiko smiled maniacally.
