Hide was still passed out from last night's drinking, so only Fuka, Aiko and Nobu made their way to the hospital. On their arrival, they met an Eli who was seated on one of the metal waiting chairs in front of the ICU. Those fully metallic chairs without any sort of padding which become icy cold due to being exposed to cool air. Her clothes were bloody, her hair a mess and her exposed skin including her face was muddied. She was seated straight with her hands held together. Staring at that hand she didn't realize someone was close to her until Fuka tapped on her shoulders. Snapping out of whatever she was thinking about she looked in Fuka's direction.
"Eli-chan I am really sorry that I wasn't there. What state are the siblings in?"
She had a blank stare on her face when she answered. In the most monotonous tone possible.
"No, it's okay. No way would we have known that would happen. Sei will be fine. Umi-chan I hope she is fine."
"I know you want to wait for the doctor to come out. But you seriously need to freshen up. You might get infected with all that blood on you."
"No, I will wait for the doctor." Shrugging of Fuka's hand off her shoulder.
"Okay." Concerned Fuka replied.
"Where is Satoru-sensei though?" Nobu questioned.
"He's dead, I killed him. He was the one who did all this."
"Can't be, Sensei won't do something like that."
"He did! He was a perverted scum because of whom Umi-chan is in that state." She covered her face with her hands as she broke down crying.
Shortly afterwards she felt someone hug her.
"Eli-neechan. She will be fine." It was Aiko who also was teary-eyed.
Nobu who was a few paces from Eli started to take backward steps in disbelief until he tumbled with the chair behind him falling onto it.
Fuka gasped covering her mouth with her hand. To think that such an elite person would be trash like that was shocking for her to say the very least.
It was then when the doctor came out removing her mask and gloves. She had a calm expression on her face which suggested like good news.
Eli stood up frantically and started to question her. "Is she okay? Is she fine?"
"Yes she is stable and recovering very fast. She should be fine."
Eli's quivering legs gave way collapsing to the chair as her faded dry red lips released a sigh of relief. It was as if a huge worry was taken off her chest. For Aiko hearing this she immediately hugged Eli again this time with tears of joy in her now glittery red eyes with a beaming smile on her face.
"Thank you very much doctor. See Yumi-chan is a strong girl, I knew she would be fine. Now Eli-chan go freshen up."
"Uh-yeah okay."
"I will accompany neechan too."
Meanwhile atop a hill which oversaw the mill stood two men dressed in black suits with a black top hat. One of them held a black phone on which was a video of an old man who had white beard and hair. They were speaking to this man on video call.
"She did well, boss."
"Lovely, I see she is improving, good." The old man left a smirk as he exited and the screen went dark.
Back in the hotel Eli was taking a shower. Droplets of water dribbled down her tensed body, relaxing it as she stood under the shower with a deadpan look on her face. Slowly she crawled down facing the wall, hugging her legs lowering her head in between her knees, she swept tears of mixed emotions which were masked by the gushing water from the shower.
Later that afternoon Sei regained consciousness, the nurse let knew Fuka and Nobu of this and they paid him a visit to his hospital room. They discussed what went down that night and both Fuka and Nobu were shocked to hear the happenings. Hours pass by during this discussion and they were visited by Sei's parents who visibly look really worried. His mother rushed over with tears in her eyes the moment she saw him. She hugged Sei who was sitting up at the side of his bed and moved her hand on his hair as she questioned about his health and well being.
"Are you alright Sei?"
"Yes mom I am fine."
"Gosh, I was really worried about the two of you."
"I am totally fine, just a little dizzy. How is neechan, have you met her?"
"Yes in fact we did. She is in good shape and the doctor let us visit her."
"Wait you can visit her now?" Fuka questioned.
"Yeah, we arrived and asked about her and Sei after which we were taken to her room."
"We completely lost track of time, let's go Nobu."
"Wait i will come too." Proclaimed Sei.
"The nurse said you are not to get up yet. Lay down and get some more rest."
"But.. but neechan." Sei pouted with a gloomy look on his face as he sunk into his bed.
"Don't worry we will report back to you."
Fuka and Nobu arrived at the room Yumi was admitted in. They knocked on the door before entering the room to see a Yumi who was staring at the door with a really expecting look on her face. She was laid down on a white covered bed with her head resting on a white pillow. An IV needle ran through her left arm which was connected to a slow dripping IV. On top of her was another white blanket which covered her. She smiled as she saw the teacher student pair walk in.
Both of them replied with a smile of their own. Fuka walked towards the bed sitting on its side and grabbed the bedridden girl's hand.
"How are you feeling?"
"Still slightly feverish but better than before. All thanks to doctor and nurses they took good care of me."
"Ah yes you surely do have a fever. Maybe you should take of this blanket it is going to make things warmer for you." Fuka replied as she moved her hand to feel Yumi's forehead which was warm.
Then they talked about Satoru for a while before they left.
"Take care Yumi-chan and get some rest."
As Yumi saw the two of them leave she sighed and kept looking at the door. It was as if she was eagerly waiting for someone to arrive. Then suddenly she heard a tug on the door. Was it what she was waiting for? The door opened slowly as her eyes got wider and wider. The first thing she saw was the color of the dress the person was wearing. It was white, it was a uniform. The nurse came to check on her. Upon realising this her pupils dropped to the side of her eye before slowly centering them as she gazed into the greenish ceiling of the dully painted hospital room.
Once the nurse left Yumi covered herself fully with the blanket. Soon afterwards there was another knock on the door. This time however Yumi didn't respond at all. After a few knocks the sound of the door opening was heard. A figure walked in with near silent footsteps. For all intent and purpose this might be an assassin trying to get rid of her. But she didn't budge at all. Luckily for her it wasn't an assassin it was Eli who stood in silence for a moment.
It took her a good few minutes to break her silence. She took a deep breath in before apologizing with a very sincere and painful voice.
"I am very sorry Umi-chan. I got a little insecure and sad and ended up saying things without really thinking. I hope you can forgive me. I know I have no place to ask for forgiveness after what happened to you because of me, but I can't lose you. You are my closest friend, and I can't think of how I will live without you."
Despite Eli's rant, Yumi didn't reply at all and was as she was when Eli first came in. This made Eli feel empty and she decided to leave. She turned around and started to walk towards the door. However, on her 3rd step she felt a tug on her sleeve. She turned around for her hand to be pulled, causing her to fall towards the bed. Yumi embraced her while crying only being able to let out the word "baka" as Eli laid on top of her unbeknownst of how to act. What she immediately caught on was the unusual warmth radiating out from Yumi's body.
"Wait, you have a fever Umi-chan?"
"So?"
"Let me go I might catch it."
"You don't catch fevers dumbass."
"I meant whatever is causing it."
"Just for a little while. See this as your punishment."
"What kind of weird punishment is this? Someone might see us"
"That is fine."
It took a while for Yumi to let go of Eli who got up as soon as the former let go of her. She was about to leave the room but was stopped when Yumi called her again.
"Elicchi by the way I have something to say too."
"What is it?"
There was a long pause before Yumi who was staring at her right hand which was on her chest, locked eyes with Eli and stated.
"I love you too." (Daisuki da yo)
The crew's trip to Osaka was the furthest thing from a vacation that they originally planned. Hide who was mostly ignorant of the situation was explained what went down. Similar to his fellow colleagues, Hide was left complete disbelief and shock. However with convincing from everyone around him he later came to accept the fact that his Sensei had indeed gone rouge. An unsightly ending for someone of his prestige and honour. But why? It was what the two of them had in mind during their airplane trip to Tokyo. Was he always planning this? Was he put in this situation due to circumstances? Something which Eli only knows of, what were his last words after which he seemed in so much peace and ease?
Yet Eli was wondering about something else in the plane. She had no room to think about other things as her closest, bestest friend had recently confessed to her. At least that is what she would like to think of it as. It might have been just a platonic expression of love for saving the lives of her and her younger brother. Or it could very well be the reply to Eli's feelings which she poured out while holding her seemingly unconscious friend in her arms. Things are further clouded by the fact that they didn't have a proper interaction or conversation after that day. All Eli could do was ponder deeply about what their relationship has come to and what it might come to be.
Another few hours of travelling by plane and car Sei finally arrived home at dusk, together with his parents and sister. Sei carried himself towards his room, opened the door, entered inside and locked the room behind him before diving face first into his soft bouncy bed. He laid mute for a few minutes before turning around and stretching only to release a sigh before reaching to his phone in his right front pocket. Seeing no notifications on the lock screen he threw it to his side and just stared blankly towards the only golden trophy in the room. The trophy which was placed in the shelf opposite to his bed was received when he won the selection exams in middle school.
"Yeah yeah sure sure like that will end up happening."
"So much for me being a hero that way."
*Sigh*.
"Hello world I am Sei, and I like to imagine myself in situations that won't actually happen."
"With all the stress and peer pressure from the real world the only thing i can do to escape is to
form my own little imaginative world. Where all humans have powers and fight. How cool would a world like that be."
"Let me introduce the characters in my imaginative world."
"First myself, Taniguchi Sei currently attending university in order to get a degree in Business management. I don't really know why I chose to study Business management, I don't have any particular interest in it. Family pressure I guess huh. Turning 20 this year I haven't accomplished much, pretty much a single sore loser with very little friends. My hobbies include gaming and talking to myself creating made up situations."
"Oh wait that is what I am doing right now. Self interviewing, nice."
"I really don't have time for this, I need to finish this assignment which I need to submit tomorrow."
"Plus the exams in a weeks time don't really help either. Ugh I wish I don't wake up one of these days. Anyways back to work."
Before he knew it Sei had fallen asleep. He was awaken by the heat as he forgot to turn on the room's air conditioner. "A weird dream again huh?" He said to himself as he started to play with his phone after turning on the AC. Later he was called down for dinner which he denied to have.
"I am not hungry, just gonna sleep." Despite the fact that he had eaten so little for the past day.
A few days pass by without the bunch in Tokyo doing anything. They were just absorbing what happened in Okinawa. Meanwhile elsewhere in Nagoya and Okinawa both Hide and Nobu respectively were busy in their training. However, it didn't take long for Sei to resume his training too. After that 'break' Sei also returned to his training together with his sensei Eli. A week left till the start of their university classes. It was not something Sei was looking forward to as it would interfere with his training.
Later that day during the evening hours they held a training session. For the past couple training sessions Sei had being trying harder. Overdoing it sometimes even making stupid mistakes leading him into undefendable situations. Observing this recklessness she decided to confront him. Her suspicions were that he was pushing too hard because of the recent failures he had suffered through.
Fending his weak attempt at an attack off rather easily Eli questioned Sei.
"What's wrong Sei? You are being too easy to read. A lot of your movement is wasted and your body posture gives away your moves making them easily predictable. I thought we covered these before. Have you forgotten them so easily?"
Sei lowered his head gazing at the ground, his eyes shadowed by the blue bangs from his hair. He clenched his right hand which held the sword, before relaxing it dropping the sword to the ground.
"Oh nothing Sensei. It is fine. What meant to happen has happened. It isn't like I have failed to master a move within a month. It is not like I was absolutely owned on the first training exercise by a person who wasn't even trying. It is not like the person who I looked up to, the person admired turned out to be a fraud and a betrayer. And it is absolutely wasn't like I was helpless, got one hit and failed to protect my sister. Oh no that would be really embarrassing wouldn't it. For a person who has so much resting on his shoulders to fall like that. Oh wait that is exactly what happened!"
He started slow and quiet but got progressively louder as he proceeded to rant until the last line where he practically shouted.
He then took a deep breath before continuing.
"Born with potential?? Number 1?? Named as the prosperous one?? The one to succeed?? Bullshit!!! All bullshit!! That's not me, there must have been some kind of mistake. I am sure I cannot become that. I don't have what it takes in me. I know that best... What good have I done? What prosperity and success have I brought? Surviving this incident?! Well, fuck that. When have I ever been... number 1? That's right. Never!! I am like this product that is supposed to do well, but somehow fails to perform up to the mark or ends up breaking not delivering the performance it is supposed to deliver. What is there to like about something that doesn't meet its expectations and performance it needs to give. A disappointment to everyone."
Eli looked on with her hand on her heart. She gave a radiant smile similar to the one she gave when they first met and said.
"It isn't your fault Sei, if I were in your shoes I might have ended up doing the same thing. To be betrayed by someone so close, I can fully understand why you were unable to move. If only I were strong enough, it is my duty to protect others but I end up getting protected by others. You are strong Sei, trust me.
Everyone doubts their strength, even I did. But we learn to grow from it... Remember, no matter how strong we are physically if we are not mentally strong enough to face whatever is thrown at us, our physical strength means nothing. Train your psyche, don't let things catch you off guard. That's the true path to strength. You know how often the most arrogant and egotistical people are the strongest. It is because of what comes with their ego, confidence backed by the skills they have.
No matter how strong you are, if you don't have the confidence you will not be able to show that strength. So keep your mentality in high spirits. I know it is easier said than done, but always remember, we are there for you. Me, your sister, your friends we are all here for you. If anything is wrong just talk to us. And you are not a failed product, you are my... number 1 student."
She walks towards him as she spoke and placed her hand on his head as she said the last line.
"Why don't we sit over there and speak for a bit." She points towards a neatly stacked pile of wood.
Sei nods in agreement and both of them make their way to get a seat.
Once seated Eli quickly said. "So yeah, tell me your story?"
Sei gave a half smile and responded. "It might take a while."
"Not an issue, I have nothing much to do anyways." She stared at the sky and sighed while her legs were swinging.
His half smile turning into a full blown smile as he let out a slight chuckle.
"Sure. I forgot you spend most of your time with the laptop screen in your face."
"Hey!" Slightly embarrassed by Sei's comment, glaring at him immediately.
"I just have nothing else which is interesting to do. I mean going out is fun and all but with only another person. Going out alone is pretty boring."
"Yeah of course. Here I thought, you and neechan are close friends."
She rested her sight on her before starting to fiddle with her thumbs.
"Yes we are friends but I don't know what is wrong with her these days. She has not been conversing well after Okinawa."
"Ah I see. Might as well as throw in a little more information that might help your situation a bit."
He stretched his arms releasing a sigh before starting the story.
"You see we are actually not from Tokyo. We were born in Kyoto and lived there until halfway through primary school before moving here to Tokyo. So we weren't well known when we first arrived here. Born and grew up with a privilege. We attended primary school here. You know how much of douchebags kids can be to each other especially to transfer students. Top that with the fact that we rarely talked in our classes due to it being a completely new environment, things got worse.
Our parents became really busy once we came to Tokyo, so we would be taken care of by our grandparents and housemaids. After the move we didn't have any friends and weren't able to make new ones. My whole class and neechan's whole class had an agenda against the Taniguchi siblings. They still had no idea that we were rich. We kept that fact well from everyone around us. Because of this we ended up spending a lot of time together.
The time in school would be hellish so to say. I remember getting my lunch box smacked in my face while I was eating it and once I saw a girl pulling on my sister's hair messing it up completely. She never told me that she was getting treated like that. Even then she hid it when she was hurt. Never shed a tear in front of me. But I knew it all along. Things were bad.
However, all these difficult times and thoughts are gone when we reach home and see our grandparents. They are a bright pair. Always smiling and we had a lot of fun with them. I know it sounds cheesy but they always made all of our worries disappear. We were very close to them, especially my sister. They treasured her as a child. Apple of one's eye as they say. But everything changed when they passed away."
Eli who was drinking in all the information suddenly moved backed a bit as she heard this.
"They passed away?" She questioned in a very slow tone.
Sei who had a nostalgic smile on his face while talking about his grandparents replied.
"Yeah." His expression slowly changed to one that of rage.
"It was when we were 11, our last year in primary school. I remember that day vividly. Some local goons had barricaded a store in which my grandparents were in at the time. Apparently an important person was there too. Upon finding out about this that person's family or whatever arrived to the scene quickly and took care of the goons before the police could.
They had acted too quickly and irrationally resulting in many casualties amongst whom were my grandparents. Some say it was an elaborate plan to kill the head of the Taniguchi family. It is all bullshit though. We were on the news that day and that's how our schoolmates found out who we really were. They changed colours so quickly, chameleons all of them. We were devastated, especially my sister who for the first time ever cried in front of everyone."
Eli's face sunk. She had her hand on her heart and was holding back tears.
"You are emotional person aren't you sensei." Sei asked in a playful manner.
Snapping out of the trance she was in Eli replied. "Losing someone so close to you that must have hurt a lot. But how are you so cool about this?"
"Oh, grandpa used to tell me "I have lived my life happy and fulfilled. So the day I die, don't be sad about it. Instead be happy that your ojiisan died happy." Even then I was sad for a few weeks. But now not really. I just find happiness in the fond memories of the time we spent together.
"That is a nice thing to say." Rather lost in thought Eli replied.
"Anyways continuing the story." Sei shrugged.
"We got to middle school and by the time everyone knew about us. So we were treated a bit different there. I am not sure which was worse to be honest. Being bullied or being used all the time. Now everybody knew about our privilege. They treated us nice in front of us. But say all kinds of things behind us. The classic talking behind your back. They would find every chance to belittle us in subtle ways. They would approach us whenever they needed something. "Hey Sei can we come over to play that new game?" "Hey Sei can I borrow some money I promise I will return it to you." Are some things they would say. Of course they never return the money. "You are rich aren't you, it would be fine right? Think of it as a donation to the poor. Or is it that you are so greedy that you cant even gift your friends some money?" Trying to make me look bad in front of everyone."
"That is such an asshole move." Eli replied furiously.
"I know right. They would pull even more pathetic lines on my sister as she is a girl. Taking advantage of her quietness and the fact that nobody actually stood up for her in her class. For me however I had made an amazing friend. An actual real one this time. Found my salvation so to say. That idiot Hide. When he first approached me I was really reluctant to even talk to him. He was being kinda annoying always asking Hey can i be your friend Taniguchi-san. I am like dude what? Time passed by and we got along really well. He really stood up for me in everything, kind of protected me from the others. Really nice dude."
"Oh so that is how you met Hide, nice. Wait so Umi-chan never had no one like that ever?"
"Yeah, unfortunately. There was not much I could do about it in school but at home I make sure she stays happy. It is the least I can do. But the fact that she shows no sadness or sorrow at home is frightening. She always seems like the happiest person ever. She wanted to keep a certain persona a certain image of herself up to her family I guess. And I never had the guts to break it by confronting her about it. I later met Nobu in highschool. You see I found great friends and by highschool I started making more of them but for neechan, even in highschool she didn't have any friends, always at home. Never saw a day when she hung out with anyone. Until that day when you two went out. Even if she returned home sad."
"Wait! How did you know she went out with me?" The sad and worried look on Eli's face turned to confusion and redness began showing.
"I am not as dumb as I look Sensei." Sei smirks as he tapped her shoulders.
Her face becoming redder by the second. "What! What do you mean?!"
"Oh nothing, nothing at all. Point is, you both met somewhere somehow and became really close friends. For the first time in her life, my sister has a true friend, a person who she can trust. A person whom she can rely on. A person who will stick with her, I hope so I really do. That you don't betray her trust, her feelings for you as a friend and I especially hope that you don't end up hurting her like all those other low lifes." Sei eyes grew serious and stern looking. One look and you would know that he isn't joking or being sarcastic in any manner.
This made Eli tense up too. She looked away from Sei and sat in silence for a few minutes before replying in a tone with no emotions attached.
"Don't worry Sei, I won't ever betray her. She is my closest and only friend too. Let's continue training tomorrow." She put up a really dead smile. Compared to her previous smiles which were radiant, bright and full of emotion brimming with happiness this was an empty one. Rather the opposite. A dull and sad smile. She leaves the ground as Sei laid down viewing the clouds.
Sei's story might have revealed a portion of their past. However that wasn't all, especially in the case of his sister. Yumi is said to be a really beautiful girl. All the boys had their eyes on her, this was especially true during highschool. Boys would try on her in an effort to get with her, but she would end rejecting everyone who approached her and distanced herself well from the guys.
Because of always getting attention from all the boys the girls despised her. They would pull acts in order to make her feel bad or make her look bad in front of others. Like throwing her shoes into the trash. Flushing her belongings down the toilet and so on.
They would spread false rumours about her making her seem like a slut. Since she was getting good grades they used that against her making it seem like she had illicit relations with the teachers. There were some girls who were close to her. These girls were not with her in any means to be friends with her nor was it to make her feel better or anything. They just had ulterior motives. In simple terms they were there to use her and these girls were the very first people who always started the rumours. Unknowing of their actions Yumi viewed them as close friends and always treated them fairly. She would be happy and delighted when she was with them. Until the day she found out what they truly were like.
She overheard a conversation of her 'friends' bad mouthing her. "Privileged bitch, what does she think of herself." "She topped class yet again." "She must have slept with the professor, what a slut." "Why can't she just disappear." "All the boys are crazy over her too." "I hate her to the bone." She had been hearing these kind of comments for a long time but coming from people who she saw as her close friends was painful. Her heart completely sank and she began silently crying there and then. This made her lose trust in everyone. Distant from everyone. And just silently suffered through the 3 years of highschool without ever complaining.
Minutes ago in the Taniguchi household Yumi was stepping out to go to a shop. She had to walk a few blocks in order to reach the shop. So she decided to take a few shortcuts through alleyways in order to get there faster. In one of those alleyways, she sensed the presence of someone behind her. She immediately turned around to see no one much to her surprise. Instead of just turning around and walking off she sweep kicked. The figure who was now opposite of her jumped over it before saying.
"As expected from a Taniguchi."
"Who are you? And how do you know me?" Yumi questioned still in the same position.
"I don't personally know you. But I know the Taniguchi put up a hard fight, even at an old age." A man by voice, who stood tall and had blonde hair replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Yumi questioned in a very soft and quiet voice as her eyes sunk in.
"Ah 8 years ago that day at the jewellery shop. How can I forget the hardship I was put through." The man smirked villainously,
"...." Yumi realized what he meant, what he was talking about. She started to breathe fast, her heartbeat becoming faster as her eyes sought for revenge.
She does a two-legged front flip aiming for the guy's chin which he dodges by moving backward a bit. She recovers from the flip and aims a kick towards his chest, which was blocked. Rebounding from it she ran up the buildings to the right side of the alleyway and came to a halt on the balcony of a building. Then she placed her right hand on her heart, which summoned a bow on her left hand.
She then began leapfrogging in between parallel buildings, in order to mask her attack. The guy stood at the same place viewing the spectacle as she fizzed with great speed. A smile appeared on his face, the, I am excited kind of smile. A barrage of arrows fired against him, he rolled backward dodging them completely.
However, before he fully recovered from the roll an arrow advanced towards him faster than the previous ones. He managed to put up a water shield in-front of him, which diverted the course of the arrow. It grazed off his skin and pulverized the wall it came into contact with. "That would have been it for me if I had got hit by that." He thought to himself as he looked at the sheer destruction caused by that arrow.
"Bow and arrow summoning eh? An interesting power so to say." He commented at a now grounded Yumi.
With no heed to his words Yumi prepared her bow again aiming it in the direction of the grey sky.
"A barrage of arrows? Can't really tell as the arrows summon right before she shoots." He prepared his defense as he assumed the next attack.
His guess was on point as multiple arrows were shot skywards. A rain of arrows was approaching him. Something like water wasn't gonna protect him this time, he needed something solid, and that is exactly what he delivered. Ice. He froze up the surrounding water creating an ice dome. A perfect defense, but just according to Yumi's plan.
Covered in a solid ice wall, his field of vision of her was null. He wouldn't see an attack coming and will have no time to react. She readied her bow again for the same attack she did previously. "Gale wind arrow." She muttered as she released the arrow which flashed instantly shattering the whole ice dome. However, the guy was nowhere to be found. Instead, on the ground was an ice cover. He had moved underground as he had fully anticipated Yumi's plan.
He jumps up and grins at Yumi who ended up taking a step back. Then she felt a liquid on her feet. It was water, on close examination she saw a puddle of water around her. This puddle started to suck in towards her before suddenly freezing completely. Her feet were stuck in ice and she was unable to move at all. More and more water started to flow in and froze increasing the height of the ice at her feet. Eventually, the ice reached up to her waist and she was completely immobilized.
The guy waltzed towards her and whispered into her ears. "Don't let revenge blind you from seeing your surroundings."
"What do you want!" Yumi grunted.
"Well. I am here for one thing. I heard your younger brother is awfully close to my younger sister. And no filthy guy is even getting close to her while her older brother lives. So yeah he needs to go." The guy smiled with his eyes closed as he slipped his hands into his pockets.
"Sei? Your younger sister?"
"Yes. Oh my, how rude of me not to introduce myself. Sorry sorry. Let me do it now. Hi I am Kohiruimaki Eiji. The older brother of your friend Kohiruimaki Eliina. Oh yeah and the killer of your grandparents." He grinned viciously giving her a sly look. "Nice to meet you, do me a favour and stay there like a good girl while I go and finish my job. You see I don't like killing unnecessarily." He walks away covering his hair with his hoodie disappearing into the darkness of the alley as a gloomy night sky set into view.
