This is a Blockbreaker/Trade done to make sure I didn't get hung up on doing the main request stories. The trade was with :iconzohaku: in exchange for a commissioned picture from an artist. It overran quite a bit as a block breaker though. :D

Takeru has been hiding a secret for some time, trusting only a few with something that he fears will alarm many. He can't bear to ever regard his current situation as normal, but he's running out of ideas and safe places.

I've taken and modified one element of the Canon 02 ending, which I normally try to dismiss almost entirely. The other parts can be ignored. I prefer either eliminating the whole illusory world entirely given that it raises many questions with no answers but double bluff scenarios, or, to explore those double bluffs. Not written down the latter yet,

This one is a little longer than I had expected, even if I was basically just doing a half an hour here and there before going back to the main request I was working on at the time. The first of these two trade-block breakers

I guess changing the pace between that and this helped to make sure I was thinking ideas out, because I spotted plotholes and gaps in both of them at once that were fixed. No doubt I still left some in both, but the two stories written side by side prevented bigger gaps and plotholes at least :)
