Third person POV
The next set of rituals is a 3-second of shower of bullets by Daijiro and the other two YKY operators on Shu.
Rat-tat-tat! Rat-tat-tat!
Shu was pelted on the ground with zombie virus-laced bullets. His On the Brink of Death serum kicked in to kill off the zombie virus particles and closed the wounds. Exactly 3 seconds had passed, and with Shu giving the green light and Gen's green lighy via the comms backpack, Nato grabbed one of the vials of the modified zombie virus from his vest and shoved its contents down Shu's throat.
Shu collapsed on the floor once more convulsing and bleeding on his mouth, before collapsing on the floor completely flat and asleep.
Gen recorded how Shu felt in this fourth night of their Peace Treatment. "It's only 10 minutes," Ran commented while unloading the remaining zombie virus canisters from his grenade launcher. "8:10 p.m."
"Yup, fast as hell," Daijiro responded while unloading his box magazine full of zombie virus-laced bullets from his PKP Pencheneg machine gun.
Gen and Hayate cleaned up the blood from his body and disinfected any trace of the zombie virus as Shu's On the Brink of Death serum provided a protective coating against the virus.
As the duo carried his body to his room upstairs in the second floor, Ran and others began the cleanup of the basement lab. Then, a few minutes later, with Shu being asleep on his own bed, Shu met up with his distorted, shadow self in the cemetery. Since Gen went to bed a few minutes later, he also appeared beside the real Shu.
"Hey, hola," the other Shu said to them as his voice was lighter than last time, "thanks for the treatment."
"S-Sí," Shu stammered. "I felt much better now."
Gen smiled at him when he heard that.
"Also, guys, don't do this indefinitely," the other Shu chuckled. "Your futures are as importante as your current lives."
The real Shu's face turned pale at that, teared up in fear and remorse, fell on his knees, and did the Japanese gesture of begging (clasping his hands together). "Of course not! It will be seven nights or less than that! I promised!"
Noticing how the other Shu's voice sounded more lighter than last time, Gen can tell that the shadow version of Shu was getting more reconciliatory than ever.
"I will always love both of me..." the real Shu declared, alluding the line from "Both of Me", "both you as my present self and my pre-outbreak self."
With the covenant-like promise between the real Shu and his shadow counterpart, the dream ended, and Shu and Gen, in their separate quarters, woke up at 6:20 a.m.
