"Are you f****** kidding me?!", you yell asking Draken.

"Mikey was too worried for you two.", says Draken, trying to justify what Mikey did to you and Baji. "But that does not make sense!", you yell again. "He would never want to hurt you guys like that, trust me Y/N.", Draken says, trying harder to justify Mikey's actions. "But that is what he did. He could've stopped it but he didn't, did he?", you speak up.

Draken has tried reaching out to you to tell you that everything that Mikey did was only an attempt to get you and Baji back. It was Kisaki who had originally planned the attack and manipulated Mikey into thinking he could come save the both of you if things had gotten out of hand then take you and Baji back with him to Toman.

"Kisaki wanted to have Toman attack me and Baji, and all of you went along with it with no hesitation?!", you get mad asking Draken. "We never wanted to have you and Baji attacked but there was nothing else we could do! Baji would never listen to us even if we tried, you know that...", responds Draken in a low voice. "Was it Kisaki who manipulated Mikey into thinking that?", you ask him. "He had no other choice but to listen-", you cut off Draken midsentence. "But he did. I think that says enough. Thanks for letting me know, Draken."

You then start to walk away and leave Draken standing there in lost for words.

You can't believe it. All that Mikey did was because he wanted you and Baji back in Toman, with him and the rest. "Why didn't he just talk to us? I guess Draken's right, Baji would never listen even if they tried but still...If anything, he'd be so much more infuriated if he hears about this.", you think to yourself.

You arrive home. It's quite late at this point. You look for your grandfather to see if he's still there. But there doesn't seem to be a sign of him anywhere. "Where could he be?", you say, continuing to look for him.

Your grandfather's pretty weak, considering his age and strength. He has to be looked after every hour of the day but you can't always keep up with that. It's one of the biggest regrets of your life, not able to spend enough time with him. He's the one who took you in after you were released from prison. Even though he still views you as his son's killer, you're the only one he's got in his old age.

You try to search for him outside. "Maybe, he's gone out somewhere?", you think to yourself again. You get out of the house and lock the door behind you.

You start by looking around the streets. He still seems to be nowhere around. "Please be okay, Pa.", you whisper under your breath. Your grandfather tends to get in fights when you're not around him. He's got a long history of fighting in the past as a kid.

"You old b******! Take this!", someone screams out from a corner nearby. "Who's that?!", you freak out. You run to the corner where you heard the man from.

There's your grandfather, back at it again. He's all bruised up and covered in so much blood. "Pa, what the hell?! I told you not to fight people again!", you yell at him. "I'm sorry, Y/N. I wasn't in the right state of mind. I promise to not do it again.", your grandfather tells you with a guilty look on his face. The man looks at you and gives off an angry look. "You got on his nerves, didn't you, Pa?'', you ask your grandfather, knowing he must have been the one to do something. "No! This man got on my nerves!", he yells back at you. "Let's get you home now.", you tell him as you put his arm on your shoulder and help him get on his feet. Both of you then start walking to your home.

You take out the keys and open the door as you reach home. Just as you were about to enter, you're reminded of something. "Here, you get in, Pa. I'll come back in an hour!", you say to him as you run outside to the street. "Get back in time, Y/N! Don't make me wait again!", your grandfather shouts at you.

"It's so great to see you again!", says the person standing before you. "How have you been?", you ask them. "Not bad at all! Thanks for helping me out that day!", the little girl says with a huge smile on her face. "Oh, it was nothing. I'll be there whenever you need me", you say to her. "You know, I want to be like you someday!", the girl says to you in the sweetest voice possible. "Like me...?", you ask her, not believing what she just said. "Yes! I do! You're amazing, Y/N!", the girl responds back, not being able to contain her smile.

That's the first time someone has told you something like this. You haven't had much people in your life since you were a kid, so it's rare for you to be appreciated so much by someone other than Baji himself.

You smile back at her, so incredibly flattered. "Make sure you don't grow up stupid then.", you say to the little girl, making her confused at first but laugh out loud after. "Where's my treat?! You said you'll bring it with you!", the girl yells with a disappointed look on her face. "It's right here! Wait!", you yell back as you pull out a candy from your pocket and hand it to the girl. "Thank you so much, it's my favourite!", she tells you before tearing open the packet and devouring the candy.

You can't help but laugh a little at her. She's so adorable. It reminds you of yourself when you were a kid. That's what makes you adore her so much. You promised to bring her candy the other day since you found out you live next to each other. She told you all about her, including how her father wouldn't bring the girl her favourite candy. He has not put his hands on her once after that day. That makes you glad, knowing you could prevent him from harming the little girl.

She waves you goodbye and makes her way home with a soft smile on her face. "If only I could help out Baji...", you think to yourself with a tear rolling down your face. You remember the conversation you had with Draken. "We're all just trying to help out but why is hurting each other the only way we keep seeing?"

The "Bloody Halloween" takes place after one day. You haven't been able to convince Baji into stepping out of the whole thing. He insists that it's too late but what if it's too late forever?
