"(G-Gasp...!) Gh...!?"

The room was dark, only the glow of the moon giving sight to those in it. There were three people, though that amount was ever so close to dwindling to two.

"Gh...! Gah...!"

Wretched sounds echoed through the otherwise quiet room. It was the sound of someone desperately struggling for air as their oxygen was being cut-off.

The five-year-old watched helplessly as his mother was strangled right in front of him. The boy's vision was woozy from the blow that he had received, and he wasn't even sure his ears were working properly, but—

"PuHaHa! HaHaHaHa! PuHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! PuHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!"

That laughter... that damned despicable laughter that flooded his subconscious to the brim, it rocketed through his brain as he was forced to witness the gruesome sight. Even as young as he was, it sent him over the edge in despair.

Why was this happening?

Why was this happening to him?

What did he do?

What did he dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!?

On the cold floor of his home, the young boy could do nothing but watch as his mother flapped her arms wildly at the man lying over her. She gasped for air, but it wasn't allowed. Nothing but pain rested on what should have been a serene and beautiful face.

This scene was all he could see, as there was no looking away. From this tender age, it had been burned into his eyes, making sure he would never forget.

"Oh~! ThAT FaCe~!! HeY BrAt, ArE YoU LoOkInG!? DoN't YoU DaRe LoOk AwAy AlRiGhT!!!"

The boy's soul was on fire, and it lit up the rest of his body as well.

[ I'll... kill you. ]

The boy glared hatefully at the man who was doing this, baring his canines in a feral manner, in a way that didn't suit someone is his age. 

And yet...

"!?" 

His expression suddenly faltered.

Craning her head, his mother turned to look at her son. And even amidst the man's grip slowly stealing her life away, she performed one simple action. In fact, it was so simple and casual that it looked unreal in this situation.

"AH~?" The man momentarily widened his eyes, but his mouth split into a massive grin.

"YoU'rE SmIlInG...!? YoU'rE AcTuAlLy SmIlInG EvEn As I'm MuRdErInG YoU, YoU BiTcH!?! AmAzInG—! HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!"

As the last of the light started to fade out of her eyes, his mother smiled at him. Tears were trickling down her face, and it was distorted with agony as she was mercilessly choked, but even so... she tried her best to give that expression to him— as if to say everything was going to be okay. She did not beg for her life. She did not wail in fear. She didn't say a word, she couldn't, and yet...
