Nightmare Fuel / Between My Brother and Me: Ab Initio

Considering the nightmarish things found in the two series that this is based on, this is gonna be a given.

---

In General

• The Dark Signers. They may seem more benevolent in that they feed off of the sin in people's hearts, but they still worship a figure known as the Dark King of the Afterlife who has plans to unleash the "Gates of Hamunaptra" on Satellite. They have no qualms in leaving victims to die or Mind Rape them (as we see later on with Team Satisfaction) and Carly notes that those who chase after them wind up dead.

Prologue(What We Do in the Shadows)

• The narration begins with Shooti dead and replaying the events that lead to his death. What exactly happened that would lead this boy to die?
  • If In Somnis Veritas, which takes place about seven months after this one, is correct he was dragged into a suicide club that jumped off of his school's rooftop.
• Kiryu Kyosuke going insane as he tells Kaibaman how he's been stalked by shadowy figures that only he can see, and is willing to sacrifice the hero to survive. Unfortunately, the dark figures (which Carly identifies as The Dark Signers) state that Kaibaman is actually their ally and they have come to collect Kiryu for this reason.
  Orange Dark Signer: Because Kiryu Kyosuke...You're already dead.
  • Which leads to Carly and Shooti watching the Dark Signers drag a nervous, panicking Kiryu into a malicious portal into the Underworld.
• After the above scene, the hood of the orange Dark Signer gets knocked over, revealing a girl who can't be older than Shooti. Shooti takes a photo of her and notes that he'll probably never see the girl again. Cut to the next scene...
  • Shooti looks in horror that the same girl, Bel, is now in his class and knew that he took a photo of her. The boy has every right to be a panicking mess at the end of that chapter.

Chapter 1 (Stranger Things)

• Everything about Shooti finally realizing that Bel is a Dark Signer; especially after he realizes that he brought her into his apartment without any backup. He quickly tries to call Jun, but Bel states that Jun is unavailable right now. Which is gonna lead to...
  • Shooti learning from Carly that 25 students jumped to their deaths in front of a train, and Jun was one of them. And to really drive it home how horrifying it is, Bel states that Jun is all right...because he's one of the Dark Signer Acolytes.

In Somnis Veritas

Chapter 6 (Sideways)

• Hikari and Shinji follow Bel, Shooti, Jun and Reiji to Team Satisfaction's apartment and find a strange room that looks out of place, revealing something out of an Ancient Egyptian tomb with four stone coffins laid out. What's inside those coffins? Team Satisfaction, dressed in Egyptian garb and hare masks covering their faces. This sets what happens later on...
  • Crow's personality shift, willing to duel Haruka even if he's slightly annoyed by her before he has glowing eyes and is threatening to incinerate the girl with Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon. What doesn't help is Masato telling his sister that Crow is dead...
    • The last part of the chapter. Haruka is thrown into a dark forest while "Alice" is starting to remember that she's really Mokuba, causing Noah to bring drastic measures to ensure Alice stays with him.

{{AC:Chapter 7 (Lovers End)]]

• Fubuki Tenjoin is the host to Nightshroud this time around and something regarding him is what caused his sister to fall into Wonderland in the first place.
