Ah, what a warm , sunny day! Time to wake up so that I can serve breakfast to my beloved Itou-kun!

Itou-kun? Itou-kun?

Where is he? Huh, Itou-kun isn't sleeping next to me. In fact, he doesn't seem to be in this room at all. Oh, well, maybe he went to work early. So I'll just get up, walk though this wall with a huge hole in it and-

Wait. Why does my wall have a huge hole in it?! And why is there a crater in place of Otome-chan's apartment?

Oh, this must be a bad dream. Guess I'll just deal with it the usual way.

Ow, I feel like I really broke a few bones there. Hmm...and I'm bleeding profusely as well. Damn, it's almost as though I jumped off the window for real this time.

Oh, and there's an ambulance coming my way just as I'm losing consciousness. If I don't wake up in my actual home I swear to G-uuuurrrgh.

Hmm...this place is really bright. I hear a lot of beeping. And I can't move. Holy shit, I wasn't dreaming, was I?

"She's waking up. Sedate her."

Zzzz...zzzz

Oh, I'm awake again. Still not in my bed. Shit, man. Just, shit.

"Oh, so you're awake at last." says a nurse, looking over me.

"Uh...where am I?"

"In the Zone-H Medical Ward. You were picked up two weeks ago after you attempted suicide. An unfortunate but unsurprising occurrence, indeed. Suicide rates have been skyrocketing ever since they came and screwed things up for everyone."

"Who is they?"

"Oh, BETAS or Beings of ExtraTerrestrial origin which also happen to be Adversarial. They basically invaded back in 2007 and have been tearing us apart ever since."

"Wait, 2007?"

"Yeah. Three years ago."

"So, this is 2010?"

"Yeah."

"That can't be right. I married Makoto-Kun in 2012!"

"You what?"

"I got married in 2012! It was 2015 just yesterday! What the hell are you playing at?"

"Oh, good God, you've become completely divorced from reality. Psychiatrists are in short supply these days, but I'm sure we can-"

"No, you don't understand, I don't belong here!"

"Now, now, calm down." the nurse says, coming towards me.

"Listen, my name is Kotonoha Katsura! I am married to Makoto Itou, and live with my little sister Kokoro Katsura! I-"

"Wait, did you just say Kokoro Katsura?"

"Yeah, she's my little sister!"

"I'll be right back." the nurse says, running off.

A while later, a teenage girl arrives along with the nurse, and looks at me in shock in awe.

"Kotonoha, is that really you?"

"Kokoro? Kokoro, it's me!"

"But, that can't be right. You killed yourself four years ago!"

"I what?"

"Yeah, Makoto left you for that Sekai girl and you jumped off to your death as a result."

"That's ridiculous! Makoto never left me for Sekai, and I never killed myself!"

"Well, everyone's memory AND police records show otherwise. Besides, weren't you trying to kill yourself just now as well?"

"Wait, no, I-" I am at a loss for words. I've woken up in a world that's five years back in time, and here I don't even exist anymore because I'm supposed to be dead.

"I think I came here from a parallel universe or something."

"Oh, the multiverse theory. Yeah, yeah, that would make sense. Unless you're schizophrenic, or, you know, delusional."

"Goddamit, Kokoro, you know me better than that!"

"Do I? You never quite struck me as the suicidal type, and look at what you ended up doing!"

"That wasn't me! That was...another me! You know, like an alternative character or something!"

"What do you think this is, some sort of game?" Kokoro spits out, "Complete with multiple endings and all that bullshit? You're just a lunatic trying to impersonate my poor sister!"

I start to sob, "Ko...koro...kokoro...."

And suddenly her expression softens up and she walks up towards me!

"That's the same way you cried when Makoto-kun left you. You were so broken. Only the real Katsura could cry like this."
