Kun gently tapped his 'sleeping' brother.

"They're gone now, Hen."

The boy below sat up quickly.

"What did Ten say?" he asked.

"He promised to be good."

"Great!"

"Your condition is a really rare one. Nobody else in the world has it."

"That's exactly the reason why mom died.. she sacrificed her life for the sake of mine."

"I miss her so much."

"Me too."

[FLASHBACK]

"Hand over the baby!" shouted the cop.

It was 12:30 AM on February 28.

"NEVER!" the woman exclaimed, clutching her baby tightly while covering his eyes.

"Miss you're gonna have to put the baby down, or we'll fire."

"Honey cmon-" said the woman's husband, trying to comfort her. "It'll only be for a week-"

"WEEK, MY ASS." she shouted, pushing him away.

"You have five seconds. Hand over the baby, or we'll fire."

The woman had tears in her eyes.

5..

"Kunia just hand Hendery over-"

"No! They're gonna dissect our child in their laboratory, and he's only a day old!"

4..

"THEY'RE ABOUT TO START SHOOTING PLEASE HONEY-"

"Henry, I can't let our baby die."

3..

"B-But I need you!"

"No, you don't."

2..

"You promised that we would raise this family together!"

"I know I did-"

"You getting killed right after we had our last child wasn't the game plan-"

1.

"The plan has changed."

BANG

Kunia's body dropped down to the floor.

Blood was everywhere on the front doorstep.

The bullet shot her right in the heart.

Henry put the crying baby down with shaky hands.

His lower lip trembled, eyes flooding.

The cops came over and dragged her corpse away, rolling their caution tape around their house.

Henry cursed at the calm police.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARDS! AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT?"

"We did, sir."

"NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T! LEAVE MY HOUSE NOW!"

The officers nodded without any sign of sympathy on their faces, taking the dead body away with them.

Henry put his crying baby to bed.
