Yandere Simulator A Twist Of Fate – Prelude: Dream a Little Dream of Me

When Ayano Aishi was six she had a strange dream. Ayano's troubled mind created many strange dreams but this one was stranger than the others due in part to how vivid it was. In her dream, little Ayano encountered a young woman who looked a lot like her and who was also named Ayano. The dream never made much sense to Ayano until one night almost ten years later.

"Hello," Ayano said to her younger self. They stood alone in a milky white void.

"Hi," Young Ayano said in her bland voice.

'She looks so lost,.' Ayano thought. "I'm Ayano what's your name?"

"My name's Ayano to." Young Ayano said. Her small frame became covered in blood some of which was on her face. In her tiny hands was held the brutalized body of a kitten. "I hurt it. I shouldn't have. I only hurt it because I wanted to feel something, anything. I'm a bad person I know I am but I don't want to be bad. Why do the gods hate me?"

"Why would you think the gods hate you?" Ayano asked her younger self her voice cracking with emotion.

"My Grandpa says the gods only punish those they hate, the bad people. I must be a bad person because they punished me by not giving me feelings. I guess they hate me too." Young Ayano said.

In spite of the blood and gore, Ayano knelt down and embraced her younger self. "No, no, baby things don't work that way. You didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. I promise one day things will be better." She said stroking the child's hair tenderly.

"How can you be sure?" Young Ayano asked.

"Because I was a lot like you once, without emotions, empty inside," Ayano said with tears in her eyes while placing her hands on girl's shoulders.

"Tell me what's it like?" Young Anyano said with a baleful look in her eyes.

"Tell you what what's like?" Ayano said.

"What's it like to feel?" Young Ayano asked.

"Wonderful, it's simply wonderful," Ayano said with a smile.

"Do you have friends, real friends? I don't have any friends. Other kids think I'm creepy. They stay away from me. Some of them tease me." Young Ayano said.

"I have friends, good friends. I even might have a boyfriend soon." Ayano said hoping against hope her and Budo would make a match. "And I have a sister I really care about and who cares about me."

"Do you love your parents?" Young Ayano asked.

Ayano hesitated for a moment her before she answered. She mulled the question over in her mind. "Yeah, I love both my parents and my grandparents," Ayano said. "My mother and I don't always see eye to eye but she loves me and will do whatever she has to so I'll be happy, I see that now."

"I wish I could love my parents. My daddy is so sad because I can't." Young Ayano said the dead kitten and evidence of its bloody demise had vanished as fast as they had appeared.

"I know you do, sweetie," Ayano said fighting back more tears. She felt her heart break as she relived many painful memories. "One day you will I swear."

"I hope you're right." Young Ayano said. "What do I do until then?"

"Remember sometimes things are the way they are not because they are bad or good rather just because," Ayano said.

"I don't understand. What do you mean?" Young Ayano said furrowing her brow in confusion.

"You will understand when you're older," Ayano said an instant before the shared dream world faded away.

To Be Continued

Author's Note -

Enjoy this small easter egg until I can post the next full chapter (which I hope will be sooner rather than later). I feel it is important to update this story because it has been inactive for a while. I want to assure everyone I have no plans of abandoning it, rather real life has been hectic for me these past six weeks or so.
