Your Point Of View:

I was back at my place after school and Rovaena finally returned from The U.K where she had obtained information about the ghost and after dinner, she began briefing us about the mysterious person in the student council whose identity is not known even to the teachers, to whom I asked.

"Her name is Ririka  Monobami, she is a twin sister to Kirari. Apparently there was a dispute in the Monobami clan regarding to who would be the next heir, so the previous heir AKA their father decided to choose through a game of dice and at the end it was Kirari who won and was declared the next heir to the clan. Ritika however as the loser of the game was made to follow Kirari's footsteps and live as her shadow, so the Monobami's removed all traces of her identity and made her live as an alibi of Kirari." , she finished and then looked at us.

Ignis was deep in thought , Malaeva however was a bit apathetic  , whilst I was shocked, never did I expect a human to be living in such a way , but before I could ponder more Rovaena then spoke, "you know, I personally feel that this fate of Ririka  would have been avoided if the male heir born into the clan would have taken Kirari's place. I mean he is a boy and as per their rules if among the children if there is a boy born into that family he would be the succeesor unconditionally." "Well what happened to him ?", Malaeva asked , Rovaena looked at me for some time and said , "well I suppose you tell us what happened."

Ignis withdrew his gaze from the floor and looked at me, Malaeva just stared at me jaw dropped and said, "wait a minute, wait a minute, are you saying he is the third potential heir of the Monobami clan?" . "Why were we not informed of this beforehand?", Ignis asked, I looked at Rovaena who undoubtedly got this information at London and I said, "that's because the F.B.I had kept this information classified after they discovered me." I looked at everyone , who were waiting for an explanation as to why the third potential heir of Monobami clan was working alongside the F.B.I in apprehending his family.

I took a deep breath and spoke in a flat expressionless voice, "It was about fifteen years ago, my father was one of the foreign accountants cum transportation mule for the Monobami clan at America , he would just count the money for them , deliver important packages to certain destinations for them. It wasn't all that hard for my father, he was trustworthy, even though he used to skim some of their money off the top for himself but it was all okay. My father was living a fairly monotonous life until he was asked to show the by then heir's wife around the country. While doing so , my father and the heir's wife kind of had a certain connection, my father was a lonely man who was insecure about his life , and the heir's wife was actually married for money by her family , so it wasn't exactly love , so they shared their fears with each other, their insecurities and finally their feelings."

I paused and saw that Ignis and Malaeva looking at me, while Ignis showed no emotion Malaeva was listening with rapt attention and said, "so after this you were born and their affair was bought to light. Then?", "let me tell you all that I am an adopted child and that's not what happened.", I said and continued, "I was taken in by the woman and at that time the heir was okay with it because my mother begged him and on my father's good word , I was taken in also because I was Japanese by birth ...so I was taken in. For a bit of time my father and mother were able to keep their affair hidden but at the time when she was pregnant with Kirari and Ririka , the secret was out. My mother died while giving birth to my half siblings , so she could not explain anything to her husband who flew into a rage and ordered me and my father be put down for good. So my father took me and ran for it but he was soon found and he was brutally murdered. They also got ready to do it to me too but they felt it was shameful to harm a child so they left me on the street to die. But the joke was in them because at that time some lady who was the matron of an orphanage found me and took me to the place."

I paused again and drank some water to keep my dry throat hydrated and continued, "but then I ran away soon enough when I was six because of the obscene habits I picked up from the Monobami's and was on the street for some time until I was found by the F.B.I agents who took me in and scouted me for training and I guess you all know the rest about my life." , I finished. They all looked at me with eyes filled with compassion and pity and that was when I noticed that I was trembling and the wound on my left hand appeared to be stinging again, I couldn't help myself and placed and placed my arm on the bandage , Rovaena came to me and placed an arm around me and started rubbing my back comfortingly, she took my hand and undid the bandage , "what happened here?", she asked caressing my hand, "some cuts and bruises I got from my life on the street.", I said dryly and I got to up, I looked at everyone and said, " I don't want anyone to pity me because of my story, what happened was just my fate ordained to me , I am here to apprehend Kirari and I cannot afford to let my emotions get the better of me, I hope you guys do so too." With that I left without looking back.

Third Person Point of view:

After Y/N left the rest of the agents looked at each other for some time and then Ignis spoke, "too young to be fighting too many." , "sixteen years of age and he has such an enormous cross to bear." , "but he is right we must not let our emotions get the better of us so let's not mention anything about this in the future.", Ignis said, Rovaena got up and she too proceeded to go upstairs but she stopped and looked at her comrades and said, "funny that those are the things I said to myself when my hometown was massacred by the war between the F.B.I and the terrorists and was scouted by the former for training..." she looked back and her fellow agents were appalled to see that she had tears in her eyes, "but it hurts when you draw the trigger on your family...even though they were terrorists and took many innocent lives and that kid is going through the same thing."

"But we can't jeopardise the misson...", Ignis started but Rovaena silenced him by raising her hand and said, "I know that very well but ...after all this is over , I am taking him with me and you can't stop me.", she said firmly and left upstairs. "I wanted to say we weren't going to but ...I guess it's okay." , Malaeva said taking a sip of her drink while Ignis just grinned at her.
