KARMA POV

As I carried Nagisa through the empty streets, I spotted something watching us from an abandoned building. I turned around to see a large man standing behind me.  He was holding a bottle and stumbling every which way as he took three large steps forward.  He was obviously drunk.
    He pointed a large finger at Nagisa. "Y-You! *hic* I've seen you in the streets!  Nagisa, right? *hic* Y-You're the one who killed your mom!"
    With that, I froze.  And Nagisa just... freaked. He struggled to get out of my arms, eventually succeeding and collapsing onto the ground.  He tried to drag himself across cracked pavement lined with broken glass.  He got even more cuts than before,  bleeding all over yet still continuing to attempt his escape.
    I stood, frozen, until the man started chasing after Nagisa.  My mindset went from surprise to anger as I ran to protect Nagisa. But it turns out, I didn't need to.
    As the large, drunk man grabbed Nagisa by the collar and lifted him up,  the bluenette screamed.  Loud.  It was so high pitched that it was almost at a frequency that only dogs can hear. 
    The man dropped Nagisa to the ground,  covering his ears.  The small boy stopped screaming and the man glared at him.
    "You little...!" The man approached the boy,  anger filling his hazed eyes.  Nagisa looked on the verge of passing out,  but he used his strength to send the man a glare. One filled with death and despair,  one that no one could ever fully decode...
     The man stared into the boys azure eyes before running away as fast as he could. I stood in utter astonishment.  Nagisa was breathing heavily and bleeding as he passed out onto the pavement.
    I was then freed from my spot on the ground,  running over to Nagisa.  He was passed out and bleeding profusely from reopened wounds. I picked up the smaller boy, already starting to run to my house
    I just found him! I can't just let him die!

    I finally made it to my house,  unlocking the door and running inside. I gently place Nagisa on the couch before running to find some bandages.

NAGISA POV

I opened my eyes to see... a house..? Where am I!? I don't remember what happened... Who's house is this!? I tried to stand up,  but ended up falling. These injuries are really aggravating... I don't know where I am and I can't go anywhere!
     I start breathing heavily as memories of her returned. What if she's still alive!? What'll I do then!? I tried to scream for help, but nothing would come out... I made a lot of noise as i tried to reach the door.
     "Nagisa! What are you doing!?" I looked over to see... Karma!? I stopped and used all of my strength to prop myself up on my arm,  wincing in pain.
     Karma ran up to me,  picking me up and putting me back on the couch. I was still trying to comprehend what was happening as Karma started wrapping bandages around new wounds. Where did those come from?
   
     Why is Karma here?
     ....
     He needs to go.

     I don't want him to get hurt....
