Romantic Breaker Arc 1 Chapter 12: I Am Who I Am

Back to the present around 1:17 pm...

"And that's what really happened that night everyone." Len tells his friends no longer able to contain his thoughts after unintentionally alarming them upon their arrival.

He tells them what he knew hoping that he did so without missing a small detail about that night. How the criminals were totally obliterated, leaving not even a trace of their existence. How Miku nearly became demented after seeing him in such a demonic and monstrous state. How he returned back to normal after a few hours when he transformed, he tries telling them all of that he remembered of that incident three years ago.

Piko is the first to shoot a round of questions at Len, "Something just really doesn't add up. So that entity just comes and goes whenever it pleases just like what happened right now? When exactly does it usually appears? What state or condition are you in whenever it does come out? Were you angry, irritated or threatened when it did? How did you even know how control those abilities? Or rather, how did you even know you have such entity abilities? This is really amazing... hydrokinesis, cryokinesis, enhanced-sight, healing, mega-leaping and random innate GPS... and there are more you are still to know of?" He barely finishes, seemingly interested to research further.

"To be honest, I don't know when or where it wants to reappear. I just try my best to take full control or reseal him as soon as possible whenever he does attempt to appear. He shows up whenever I'm in random conditions sometimes if I'm angry, irritated or when I'm just being normal. Also, I don't purposely use my abilities at all except back at that time when I desperately need to save Miku. What happened just now seems like just a natural occurrence... I'm not really sure how I knew that I can heal or tell exactly where to locate her back then too." Len admits with a serious tone.

Recalling what happened on the night they were kidnapped, Rin tells them what she remembered when they finally came home. She just felt the need to tell the others and so she did. "Back then, when you and Miku came home late and just invented the excuse of the rainfall stranding you in a tattoo parlor, we just totally bought it. Lucky for you, mom and dad didn't mind you actually getting one even though you didn't ask for their permission." Rin blurts out.

"..." Miku seemingly wanted to say something but just stayed quiet. She still feels it may or may not be necessary to tell them what she really saw or what she really experienced. Len and her friends notice her silence and all looked at her.

"Miku, I know you have something bothering you and wanted to say something. Why don't you just tell us?" Len begins to question her out of deep concern.

"What happened now still doesn't match with what happened before, Len. It was not like this at all wherein you just get fits from your cryo-hydrokinesis. You transformed entirely back then." Miku elaborates with a facial expression that tells them that she can still clearly remember, both the memory and the feeling of the experience.

This saddens Len to the point of feeling guilt. If it frightened Miku that much, what more if his friends see it. "Did I really look that horrible when I transformed?" He slowly queries, growing more concerned for her.

"What scared me is not your looks back then but...the immense ominous aura that makes one sense a suffocating feeling of boundless danger. When I felt it during that time, it is as if I felt that I was going to die next!" She explains her situation with tone that the others feel that she regrets to inform them.

"I'm really sorry about that, Miku." Len wholeheartedly apologizes.

"Hmm... You know, you're not alone, Miku. I felt it too. I'm not comparing it with your experience before but when Neru and I arrived, the feeling in the area is as if there is a dangerous presence around. It made me on guard and equip my brass knuckles just in case. I almost thought there is a hidden terrorist about to kidnap Neru." Rinto says as he recalled the occurrence earlier. Neru snuggled closer to him.
