Eighty Four - Brawl

It was like another wave crashing over me after the first one almost drowned me...

Because the next thing I knew, the whole Kantou Manji Gang joined the other "deities" in battle, and I'm a part of it again. I only overheard Koko and Sanzu discussing about it earlier.

The world of gangs were chaos after Toman's era.

Just... when will this stop?

There are three deities this time: Kantou Manji Gang, the gang Mikey leads; Rokuhara, where the former Tenjiku members are; and then Brahman, which has Draken-kun, Michi, and unexpectedly... the original Black Dragons.

My presence in this brawl captured some eyes—the first gen Black Dragons, and they returned me those looks. Seeing me with this gang must've been a disappointment for them, but I, as well, am disappointed at them.

Takeomi-san's brows furrowed like he's ready to throw a punch, maybe not at me, but to the people I'm with

Takeomi-san's brows furrowed like he's ready to throw a punch, maybe not at me, but to the people I'm with. Arashi-san seemed composed, but I know him. He's calming his nerves after seeing me. And there's Imaushi-san who just shifted his eyes away as if he never knew me.

People change. I know that. But it hurts. Especially if they were the people you were once close to, the people you once shared your happiness with, the people you thought would stay by your side 'til the end of your journey.

Yet they're now just strangers, and worse, enemies you need to fight against.

Ran and I shared a glance, and he didn't seem so glad about this, seeing me with this gang during a battle. I'm glad the feeling's mutual, because I ain't happy about him with that iniquitous gang as well.

Kakucho-san was like Imaushi-san. He couldn't look at me straight in the eyes.

I had a bad feeling about today, but I didn't think my assumptions would be correct. I only felt it when Mikey said it and when Sanzu gave me a look of satisfaction—and when Michi had the look on his face, a look of despair.

Koko wanted me to stay at the penthouse, but how could I? After hearing them talk about what just happened, how could I remain still without confirming it myself?

But maybe he's right. I should've just listened to him and stayed because I couldn't bear to see the truth.

This isn't what I wanted to happen. So how could this happen? Is this the consequences of our actions? Were Michi and I too late? Or did we... choose the wrong decision?

Draken-kun... why? Why you too?

Why do you also have to leave?

Why are you leaving us behind?

Not you too, Draken-kun, especially not you...

Not you too, Draken-kun, especially not you
