Two men in robes and hoods covering their faces were walking around the neighborhood.

"Is this the house?" The skinny guy asked.

The muscular bald man answered: "Seems like it. I'll set up the bomb, stay back."

He walked up to the house and put his backpack next to a wall.

He then ran towards the skinny guy and took out a remote from his pocket, "On 3 I'll set it off and we'll run to the woods."

He started, "1... 2... 3-" 

The explosion went off slightly before he anticipated but it worked nonetheless.

They both ran to the woods, while they were running, the skinny guy took out his phone and called their boss. 

"The mission has been completed." He said.

On the other side, their boss replied: "I expected nothing less of you guys. Come to the address I'll send you soon to pick up the reward."

He then received a notification with the address. "Let's go there." The skinny guy said.

They took a longer path, walking in the forest and then coming out of it after a few kilometers so no one could see them. 

They arrived at the location and picked up their reward.

Yamikuro felt a tap on his shoulder, it caught him so off guard that he turned his head towards the person with genuine fear in his eyes.

To his surprise it was the bus driver who told him that the bus had reached the final stop and Yamikuro needed to get off. He looked around the bus and saw that it was completely empty.

Yamikuro felt like he just sat down, the time went by in almost an instant. Thinking about everything that happened made him lose awareness of the reality and he was staring out the window the entire bus ride.

The bus driver repeated himself again by saying: "You need to get off the bus, we've reached the final stop. Now quickly get home since it's really late, kid"

Yamikuro stood up when he suddenly started feeling light headed and almost fell back down on his seat but he just kept walking since the bus driver seemed pissed off at him and he didn't want to risk what would've happened if he sat back down.

Yamikuro then stepped out of the bus and felt a cold breeze on his face. It was all dark and foggy with no street lights visible or any possible houses with lights still on, he didn't have any idea where could've even ended up since he wasn't paying attention at all the entire bus ride.

He decided to just keep walking ahead to see where he would end up. Luckily for him the rain had stopped and it wasn't that cold where he would've needed a jacket. Yamikuro kept walking straight, hoping to find a place to stay.

He didn't know how long he had walked but his legs were already starting to get tired, and the fog got thicker than before. Yamikuro's eyes started to get heavier with each passing second, his entire body was shivering and he felt like he could pass out at any moment.

But then to his surprise he saw a house not too far away with the lights still on.

At first he didn't react to it since he was half asleep walking down a dark road but after processing what he saw he woke up and started running through the wheat farm to get there.

He was getting hit in the face continuously with the crops that have been planted there and stomping all over them but he didn't care. He just wanted to reach that house, deep down he was scared of who might be living here but at the same time he felt completely hopeless so no matter what happened, he would have accepted it.
