Ran sighed at what his brother confessed to him. "𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥?" Ran asked, looking through the detailed data Rindō gathered all by himself. It's the addresses of the people who judge you, misunderstand you, and hurt your feelings.

Ran doesn't mind the work, he raised Rindō by himself after all. "𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘/𝐧?" Rindō nodded.

"𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭."

"𝐖𝐡𝐲?" Ran asked with a raised brow.

"𝐓𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫." Ran nodded, finding his plan a little interesting.

"𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬." He stood up. "𝐎𝐤𝐚𝐲, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?"

Rindō nodded. Ran waved the brown envelope,  containing the data, and smiled. "𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞." Rindō sighed. '𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟. 𝐻𝑎𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑦𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑖𝑓 𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑟𝑦. 𝐼𝑓 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛, 𝐼'𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑡.'

'𝑀𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒, 𝐼'𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑢𝑟𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑅𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑖 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑒 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦?' He sighed and lied his head on the soft mattress of the bed where he's sitting.

He sighed. 𝐷𝑖𝑛𝑔! He picked up his phone from the bedside table and looked who texted him.

[𝐘/𝐧: 𝑯𝒆𝒚, 𝑹𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒐̄-𝒔𝒂𝒏. 𝑾𝒆'𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆'𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆. 𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕?]

Rindō thought about it. He started replying to her text.

[𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨̄: 𝑵𝒐𝒑𝒆.]

𝐷𝑖𝑛𝑔!

[𝐘/𝐧: 𝑰 𝒔𝒆𝒆. 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈?]

[𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨̄: 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈.]

𝐷𝑖𝑛𝑔!

[𝒀/𝒏: 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒍'𝒍𝒍 𝒈𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖.]

[𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨̄: 𝑶𝒌𝒂𝒚, 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖.]

[𝐘/𝐧: 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆!]

Smiling to no one, he let out a soft sigh. "𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫."


Rindō called Ran about the plan he asked him to do. Ran picked up the call. "𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡?" Ran asked.

"𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭?" Ran giggled. "𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬." Rindō went to the living room and turned on the television. The news popping up.

[𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: "𝑨 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉-𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑹𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒊. 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒋𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒕. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚'𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕."]

Rindō's lips curled into a wide smile. "𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐛, 𝐛𝐫𝐨." He giggled. "𝐍𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫." Rindō soon after, ended the call.

'𝑌𝑎'𝑙𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡.' Rindō smiled. He watched the remaining news. The image of people panicking and the firefighters putting out the fire was seen in short clips on screen.

His smile turned into sinister laughter. His plans sticking like a perfect combination. 


Hearing the news, your mouth falls agape at the scene. You didn't know that there's a fire going on in different streets in Roppongi.  You're currently eating your food when you decided to watch the news, and that's when you saw that a cityfire broke out.

You thought about your weird experiences. The stopping of someone giving you food and anything else, the sudden deaths of people who alligiate you before and now the city fire breakout.

Nonetheless,  you didn't see anything that affected you at all. I mean, sure, it is close to you, like the allegations of your manager but—you're not affected anymore since you gave your troubles to Rindō, even though you're a bit guilty of it.

"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲.....𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤." You mumbled out, stopping from eating.


You're walking around the town when you spotted Rindō in a distance.

"𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨̄-𝐬𝐚𝐧." Rindō looked at her. He smiled, standing up from where he was sitting on. "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐘/𝐧?" Rindō asked, glancing at the brown envelope she's holding.

"𝐈'𝐦 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛." You smiled at him. He nodded and returned your smile. "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮?" You asked. "𝐈'𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫." You nodded and bid him goodbye before walking away from him.

'𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑜𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑡.' Rindō said inside his head and started following her. She entered a Café. When she started talking with a female worker there, he nodded to himself and walked back to where he was sitting before you approached him.

When he got there,  Ran was already standing there. Ran looked at him and sighed. "𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐨. 𝐈𝐳𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞."

He nodded and went with his brother. Noting where Y/n is supposed to work for the time being.
