"I think it's time you tell me, Mikey."

"Fine Ken-chin, I'll tell you.", replies back Mikey.

"You know Y/N, she's still...such a mystery to me.", says Mikey in a lower tone. "What do you mean?", asks Draken, sounding confused. "Life wasn't so easy on the poor girl.", Mikey responds. "What do you even know so much about Y/N?", Draken asks, but this time sounding more curious. "Not much...other than a few things that says it all about what she has gone through.", answers Mikey.

He continues, "Baji and I had a talk on that night of the festival. The night had almost ended by then. I was at the shrine and he was there too somehow. We had a little conversation. Well, it was more like a discussion with him, really."

On that night

Baji was at the shrine, waiting for Mikey to show up. He knew Mikey was going to be there too, especially after everything that had gone down. It has always been like this for them. He heard Mikey's footsteps and waited for a bit before calling him.

-"Yo, Mikey."
-"Baji?"
-"I came here to talk to you about something. You doing alright?"
-"A lot better."
-"Man, I'm so sorry to hear about our Draken. Glad he's recovered now."
-"I know, me too...so what are you here for, Baji?"
-"I wanted to talk to you about Y/N, Mikey."
-"Yeah? Go on."
-"You know how she just got out of prison after four years. I want you to know the reason behind it."
-"What is it? I'd like to know."
-"It was...her father. I knew that man. He was an addict and a total f****** b*******.
-"Her father? An addict?"
-"I was there that day when the police had taken her away..."
-"What happened that day? Why did they take her away?"

Flashback to four years ago

You're on your way home after school. It's been a tiring day and you can't wait to get some rest. You already have your plans scheduled for the entire day. After you've had enough rest, you are going to ask Baji to take you to the nearby park and try to make some new friends. He's the only friend you've made in the neighbourhood since moving into your new home.

You finally reach your home and knock on the front door. You patiently wait for your mom to open it. "The moment she opens the door, I'm going to hug her so tight!", you think to yourself. You and your mom had a little argument in the morning before you went off to school so you want to make sure she still isn't mad at you.

The relationship you share with your mom is pretty rough. You two are polar opposites and almost never get along. She can be extremely strict at times. Even though she's always mad at you for something, you can't help but adore her. After all, she is your mother.

A few minutes go by but she still hasn't opened the door yet. "Maybe she isn't home", you say to yourself. You take out an extra key from your bag that you always keep with yourself in need of situations like this. You open the door and let yourself in.

"Mom, I'm home!", you yell out as you close the door behind you. But just as you turn front-

Wait. This horrifying, blood-curdling sight has trapped your eyes. You can't look away. You're in too much shock. You're clouded in questions.

"Why is my mom unconscious on the ground? Why is she covered in blood? Who's this man standing before her? Why has he got a knife? Is that my father? What's happening?"
