It was a cold winter morning. People outside were wearing the thickest of coats, scarfs and beanies just to stay warm.

Hanzo was asleep in his warm blankets until his alarm went off. He groaned and immediately turned it off. He got out of bed and soon hopped back on. The floor was a lot colder than yesterday. 'Why didn't I get a carpet last week' he thought to himself.

He grabbed a pair of socks he randomly found on his nightstand. He quickly put them on and got up from his bed. Hanzo did his normal routine; brush his teeth, eat breakfast, pack his bag, grab his apartment keys and get out.

He locked his door and headed downstairs. He walked out into the cold until he forgot someone. He went back inside to the third floor. He was happy to be warm again instead of being in the cold. He knocked on the door waiting for an answer. The door unlocked quickly and opened. Hanzo looked down seeing his friend's 7 year old son, Takeda.

"Hi Uncle Hanzo!" Takeda said happily. Hanzo happily picked up Takeda and hugged him tight. Takeda giggled, hugging back.

"Takeda! What did I say about opening the door- oh hi Hanzo" his father Kenshi said.

Hanzo put Takeda down. He saw the young boy run to his room to get his backpack.

"Thanks for taking him to class again... he really enjoys them. He's always dancing around the living room when he's bored." Kenshi said.

"I'm glad he enjoys them" He smiled. He turned to see the seven year old running in ready for the day.

"Don't forget your coat!!" Said a voice from the kitchen. He poked his head out of the doorway to see if his stepson didn't forget anything else. He waved to Hanzo.

"My lunch! My lunch Papa Ermac!!! My lunch!!" Takeda said running towards the kitchen. Ermac handed him his lunch, gave him a hug and said his good byes. Takeda gave his father hug.

"Bye bye papa!" Takeda said giving his dad a hug while receiving a hug and a kiss on the forehead from him.

Hanzo grabbed Takeda's hand while heading downstairs. They walked for about a block to the dance company. It was well known in the area for producing the most famous dancers in the country and at times globally.

He took him to his classroom, hugged him and waved good bye. Takeda ran to his friends to chat before they had to dress up and start class.

Hanzo headed to the second floor where the dance floor he usually goes with other males and females planning on making it to the top. He stopped suddenly when he saw some men in uniforms talking to some of the dancers. Once he saw one of them point him out to one of the police, he knew he had to leave quickly. He turned around to suddenly be face to face with one. He sighed knowing what he was going to ask.

"I know nothing about whatever happened, okay? Thank you. Good bye!" He said heading another direction.

"Excuse me!" One of the agents said.

Hanzo turned around to look at the other agent coming out from the group. He showed his badge just in case he thought he wasn't really one. "I'm Kuai Liang. I'm sorry my partner startled you. He's my brother, Bi-Han"

Bi-Han scoffed at his younger brother and walked to the group again asking questions. Kuai looked at Hanzo and smiled. "Is it ok if I-"

"Fuck no" Hanzo said interrupting the agent. He soon began to regret what he said because once he looked at the agent he looked pissed.

"I know you aren't proud of your family but you have to understand it'll help families who've lost loved ones. Answer the fucking questions and we'll leave. Got it?" Kuai told him.

Hanzo nodded and sighed. "What do you need to know?" Kuai handed Hanzo a file. He opened the file and looked through it. He flipped through pages and pages until he stopped at one page. "Why do you have this?" He shoved the file back to the agents arms.

Kuai looked at the photo. "You know her?" Hanzo turned to Kuai.

"Why else do you think I'm pissed!?" He walked to another floor to dance in an empty dance room.

Kuai curiously followed him upstairs quietly. He silently stood at the door watching Hanzo stretch.

"I'll remove the photo if you like?" Kuai said which startled Hanzo.

"Get the FUCK OUT!" Hanzo yelled.

"I'm just saying-"

"GET OUT!" Hanzo yelled throwing his shoes at him.

Kuai quickly left dodging the shoes. Hanzo sat on the dance floor, tears coming out of his eyes. 'Why... why did I have to be born in this cursed family... why me?'
