[3rd POV]

Returning back from a mission, the sins were to report back to Zaratras about their ventures.

Meliodas: Hey, where's (Y/N)? He has to be the one to do the mission summary, so where is he?

Diane: You know him, he's probably caught up with other work. I swear, all that work is the thing that going to kill him!

Meliodas: Diane, we both know that that can't happen.

As the sins neared the door to the grandmasters chambers, Ban's nose caught something. It was a smell he was all to familiar with. Before he could voice his find, they opened he door, to find a horrifying sight.

Grandmaster Zaratras, dead And impaled with multiple spears.

Meliodas, as the current second in command, figured out that this was a trap and ordered the sins to disperse and meet up later.

[Diane's POV]

As I was running, trying not to draw attention to myself, I spotted the figure of the captain. As I ran to tell him about the murder, I slowed to a screeching halt, looking at what had transpired here.
(Y/N) was drenched in blood, hanging his head, surrounded with the dead bodies of Holy Knights.
I stood their, wondering what had pushed him so far as so cause this.
I then see something glistening drop from (Y/N)'s face.
A single tear.

(Y/N): I never wanted this. They forced my hand. HE forced my hand. When I find him...

I was about to ask who made him do this, but at that moment a horde of Holy Knights swarm round (Y/N).
They hadn't seen me, for once. I was about to strike, until I saw (Y/N) slowly shake his head, and discreetly signal for me to go, not as a kind gesture but as an order.
I run all the way to the outskirts of the city, and await the others.
As the they arrive, (Y/N)'s crow, Dust, appears with a letter on his leg. King takes the letter, and reads aloud:

Dear Friends

I, (Y/N) (L/N), hereby step down from the mantle of 'Captain', and pass it to Meliodas.
Too long I have taken lives, both Innocent and Guilty. I am fed up with the murder and wish no more of it. I have done something to ensure the safety of others from me.
Dragon Sin Meliodas, you will make a great captain, I trust you to make smart decisions.

I am sorry,
(Y/N)

When he finished we were all shocked, especially Meliodas.

Ban: So, what are we to do... Captain?

Meliodas remained quiet. So I spoke up.

Me: We have to rescue (Y/N)! We have to bring him home, to us. We have t—

Meliodas: No.

Me: But why. He's saved our lives countless time so it's time we saved his!

Meliodas: He doesn't want rescuing, he willingly put himself out of the way of others.

Me: but—

Meliodas: No Diane!

I sigh, knowing the argument was lost before it even started

Meliodas: My first order as captain is for us to disperse. until the time is right, you will remain hidden or 'captured'. Do I make myself clear?

Everyone: Yes Sir.

And they were gone. Across the nation, one thing tied each sin to the same emotion.

Rain.

[Y/N's POV]

When Diane left, I smiled.

Me: Good girl

Holy Knight: (Y/N) (L/N), you are convicted of mass slaughter and the murder of Grandmaster Zaratras, will you come quietly?

Everyone around me readied themselves for a fight.

Me: I will.

Shock, passes like a wave over them all.

Holy Knight: V-Very well, you are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment.

As I walk toward the dungeons, it starts to rain. I look up and smile

Ahhh

Somewhere safest for everyone.
