They said he was a ghost. Some said he died in battle. Others said he was a storm made to flesh. When the wind thrashes all would know that he is coming. A story of one betrayed by his peers. Returning now from the dead to seek his revenge on the on...
A young man by the name Rick was hanging out with some friends.
Rick: Well, two guys dating their babysisters is... pretty crazy, right?!
Friend: Wouldn't be the first time someone did that. By the way, where's that kid you're training?
Rick: Who Jack? Probably in the restroom. (looks at waitress) Miss, a refill!
Waitress: Coming right up!
~***~
A young rookie of the Shadow Agency walked out of the restroom. On his way he bumps into someone.
Jack: Sorry. Here let me help you up.
Chizuru: It's fine. I'd much rather help myself up and enjoy my coffee than sitting here listening to you apologize.
Jack: How cold... Wait haven't I met her before?
Chizuru: Are you going to keep standing there like a idiot, Jack?
Jack: How did you--
Then he remembers. The "Absolute Zero" Tachibana who was his doctor once. Every time someone comes for an appointment... she has never failed to create a chilly atmosphere. Jack apologizes again and went back to his group. Though the rest of the day was awkward for the young assassin after that encounter.
~***~
The next day, the cold atmosphere herself was seeking advice from the Pro Hero, Mandalay, after running into Jack.
Mandalay: You want to be more friendlier, huh?
Chizuru: What should I do?
Mandalay: Well, you do have a friendly image when it comes to patients.
Chizuru: That's how I wanna be.
Mandalay: But no one can tell what you're thinking. I mean, there's barely any chance in your expression.
Chizuru: "Expression"... (looks into phone mirror)
Mandalay: Well, above all, if you wanna get friendly with someone, you should first learn about 'em, right? Isn't there anyone. Someone who's easy to understand and whose emotions flow freely from their expressions...
Chizuru: (moves her cheeks) "Flow freely"...
~***~
Christmas Eve was around the corner and with no new orders from the Shadow Agency, Jack was free to relax.
Jack: Christmas, no doubt about it. But this year will be lonely as usual.
Or so he thought. A knock came at his door. He opened it and was met by Chizuru in a santa outfit.
