When Len woke up, everything was black. The silence was almost deafening, and it was cold. The blonde servant looked around many times, but there was nothing around him. He hugged himself and fell to his knees, shivering in the darkness. He stayed there for what seemed like hours, fear coating his heart. Then, he heard a ghastly voice. Len's eyes widened in horror. He knew that voice. But he couldn't see the source.
"Little boy's crimes are getting old," Miku's voice laughed. Len shook with terror. No, this couldn't be. "You're far away from me forever!" Len rose to his feet and looked at the ceiling. There was a spring in it.
Suddenly a burning sensation filled Len's senses, and he felt himself repeating his sins over and over. He remembered the feel of Miku's blood on his hands. He remembered her screaming at him 'servant of evil'! It was a terrible feeling, but as long as he thought about his lady being happy somewhere in the world of living, he told himself that he would endure it. He had to.
Len didn't keep track of how long he was there. He just knew that he would never wake up. He would gaze up at the ceiling for infinite periods of time, watching for the day when the spring changed. There were hot red cuffs around his wrists, searing into his skin. They were surely the color of blood spilled during the revolution. There were cold blue chains around his ankles. They were surely the color of someone's tears.
One day, Len thought he heard something. A voice. It was a cleansing voice. Len closed his eyes and let the soft melody wash over him. Who was singing this lovely song?
"Ru ri ra, ru ri ra…"
While he could still hear that soft melody, the pain seemed to numb. One day, Len noticed that the song had a real meaning. But what was it? Someone was sending him a message… but he couldn't read it… Len closed his eyes and let the faint song wash over him. It was his new lullaby. New words were being added to it, Len knew because he had heard it so many times. Like a mother singing to a baby. He was the baby.
Then, a tiny light came down from the spring. Len blinked, holding up his burning hands to hold it. Then a shock went through him – surely someone was giving him a message!
Then, another voice came into earshot. It was Miku's voice. Len could see a faint version of her, a beautiful maiden. "It isn't that your sins aren't tolerated."
The red cuffs fell off and Len could hear the brown-haired prisoner's voice. "After this, you will be born again."
The blue shackles came off too and Len could make out the prince of blue's voice. "Today is your new birthday." The servant gasped and the blackness of the room was painted white. Freed from his bonds, Len began to run towards a light that had formed in the distance. Soon, he thought, he would meet them very soon. His limbs ached from the running, but he didn't dare stop. Once he got close enough, Len jumped forward, one hand stretched out towards the light…
"Initializing model 02… Kagamine Len…"
He opened his eyes. Harsh light was glaring down on him. He could hear voices in the background. Sitting up, he held his head. It hurt. The blonde boy glanced over at the door, where his gaze was met by four others. One was tall, brunette, in a red outfit. The other one was a bit younger, with blue hair and a scarf. The third had long green hair. And the fourth…
Len grinned as his eyes began to water.
