Two opposites finding comfort in each other

⚠️MANGA SPOILERS⚠️ ⚠️No demons AU⚠️ Norman was tired. Tired of being beaten every day by his alcoholic father, tired of working all day to get just enough to buy food and pay bills, tired of having to envy other people for being able to enjoy life while he was stuck in that hell he called family. He probably would have given up on his life a long time ago if it weren't for his younger sister. He wanted her to at least have the opportunity to go to college, to graduate, to work and to form a happy family with a nice and perfect guy. He thought he would be stuck forever in his job as a store clerk and would die alone as a beggar or something. Norman never expected to meet someone who with just a smile made him want to fix his terrible life. It was definitely the best change that could happen in his life. (The cover art is not mine)

Norman survived while it was Emma who was sacrificed. It wasn't meant to go down like this, but it couldn't be helped. Ray doesn't seem to holding it anymore. This isn't your "Promised Neverland". This is your "Promise everything is according to plan." "Look whose dead." Another laugh fills the air.
