I woke up on the couch to see Shigure's boyfriend proposing to her. I put a hand on Shigure's shoulder and smiled. I helped them plan their wedding and once their wedding day came, I sat down, when I noticed Licorice was nowhere to be found. Then a moment later he came bursting through the door.

"EVERYBODY HOLD UP! THIS MAN KILLED IKUE AND HANA!!" Licorice shouted, pointing to Shigure's boyfriend.

"Licorice, did I hear you right? He killed Ikue AND Hana?" I asked.

"YEAH!" Licorice replied.

"Ha... Haha... Hahaha... Ahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!" I began laughing maniacally as I felt my mind snap.

A giant broadsword materialized in my hands. I walked slowly towards Shigure's boyfriend, dragging the point of the sword along the ground behind me. Once I was close enough, I swung the sword in an arc in front of me, the blade was so sharp and so heavy, the force behind it cut the man in half.

Shigure dropped to her knees and I collapsed to the floor. Milk and Vanilla rushed to my side and gently pulled me off to one corner of the room. They gently held me in a sitting position and were trying to comfort me as my head dropped forward and I silently broke down.

Several of Shigure's boyfriend's enraged family members walked over.

"Get out of here before I kill you ALL," I said, firing my .44 magnum into the air.

They all ran for their lives. Aside from Vanilla and Milk's support, that was my only solace.

"Let's go home," I said. 

Vanilla and Milk hopped in the back of my car and I drove us home.

 (I never noticed before, but a '69 Camaro SS actually has back seats, not just the front two.)

Milk, Vanilla, and I sat in the living room alone and I started to break down again.

Milk and Vanilla gently started to pet me as silent tears poured down my face. The broadsword I used to kill Shigure's boyfriend materialized in my hands, his blood still on the blade. Despite the tears pouring down my face and my depressed mood, I smiled really widely when I looked at the sword. The sword disappeared again and I began laughing maniacally as I wrapped my arms around Milk and Vanilla. Raven came home as well and examined me.

"I think he's gone a bit insane," Raven said.

A while later I regained some of my sanity and Vanilla gently nuzzled me.

When it came time to go to bed, Raven pulled Chocola aside.

"Hey Chocola, how about you sleep in my room tonight. Dad needs some time with Mom and Milk, okay?" Raven asked.

"Okay!" Chocola said cheerfully.

I fell asleep and started having nightmares.

(Nightmare.)

Hana and Ikue are tied up in a room with Shigure's boyfriend walking in circles around the two of them. He draws a vampire hunter's blade and kills Ikue, then Hana. Qrow appears just as Shigure's boyfriend disappears and the corpses of Hana and Ikue start to speak.

"You couldn't save us, it's your fault we died!" They say.

Qrow drops to his knees.

"I didn't know you were in danger! I had no idea!" Qrow responds, tears pouring down his face.

"YOUR FAULT!" They shout.

(Nightmare ends because Qrow wakes up.)

"I avenged you! Does that not warrant any forgiveness?" I said, subconsciously responding to the nightmare, as I woke and sat up so quickly I sent Milk and Vanilla tumbling out of bed.
