Fading memories: Without him

Bloody reunion

(This part of the story is told from perspective of Rei)

I had to leave for a few minutes, i had planned to take Kusuri out to see a comedian because he is into comedy. I left the tickets at home though so I'm going back to get them. But when i arrive at my house, i see a man outside the door with a hat covering his face. I could make out that he had a smirk on his face and he was looking down. I approached him, ready to defend myself if needed

Rei: Sir? I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the front of my house

Sounds weird when i'm saying it out loud. A familiar voice then spoke to me

Tatsuya: i'm the least of your worries little lady

He then disappears into thin air like he was made out of smoke. Who was that? It must be my mind playing tricks on me, I haven't slept in a while after all. I grab the tickets and i get back in my car. I drive back to Kusuri's house and hand him the tickets, his eyes fill with excitement as he goes up to his room. I don't know how he is so happy all the time, I don't understand him but doesn't mean I don't admire his enthusiasm. The show is at 6pm and it's currently 2pm so i have 4 hours to get ready for it. This is going to be the best birthday he could ever have.

3 hours later and i'm back at Kusuri's house, i knock on the door to his room

Rei: Kusuri?

I got no response but i thought he might be asleep

Rei: Kusuri? Are you asleep?

I look down at the floor and i see blood dripping from underneath the door, i bust the door open before she Kusuri's body cut up from his legs to chest dead. I wanted to be sick but the only thing i could do is cry i stepped back falling against the wall in the hallway but at that moment, i hear someone coming up the stairs. A man with a gas mask came up presumably to find me. I grabbed at his hand he hid his weapon from me. Who was this man and why did he kill Kusuri?
