The Darkest Of The Dark

Brother?

5 minutes later,

Akira approached Akimitsu. "Hey, can we talk in private outside?"

They stepped out to talk.

Akira: "What happened? Why did they kill themselves when we showed the note?"

Akimitsu: "I think they're deeply involved. Someone manipulated them into this."

A distant scream pierced the air.

Akira: "What was that?"

Akimitsu: "Let's go."

Despite the rain, pouring down on their faces, they rushed towards the source, drawing their guns.

They reached a towering building where the screams echoed from above. Racing to the top floor, they cautiously aimed their guns into the darkness.

There, they found a person crawling, their neck slashed open.

Stranger: "Get out! He's still here! Run!"

Akira: "We're not leaving you."

They lifted the injured person, but a figure approached with a gun.

Akira and Akimitsu aimed their guns.

Akira: "Drop your weapon."

Stranger: "Akira Asashi, we finally meet."

Akimitsu: "Who are you?"

Stranger: "My name is Yoshiro Hinata."

Yoshiro shot at the injured person, who collapsed and died.

In response, Akira and Akimitsu fired at Yoshiro.

Yoshiro fled.

They pursued, but Yoshiro managed to stab Akimitsu.

Akira, horrified, tried to shoot Yoshiro but found his gun empty.

Yoshiro fatally shot Akimitsu in the head.

Akira, devastated, tears streaming down his face.

Yoshiro: "Don't you remember me, Akira?
We're brothers."

Akira: "What are you talking about?"

Yoshiro: "Brother, im the killer of your wife and son."

Akira: "Say that again!"

Yoshiro: "Akira, i killed your wife and son

Akira grabbed Akimitsu's knife, attempting to stab Yoshiro, who dodged and escaped.

Akira pursued him, but Yoshiro vanished without a trace.
