For the first time, Black feels lost. With his brother taking his spot in the gang, his best friend dating his ex-girlfriend, and his childhood friend who betrayed him in a coma, he feels like there's nothing left for him. Black isn't able to kill Todd, and no matter how many reasons he comes up with in his head, none of these reasons justify why he visited his enemy at the hospital every day. Once Todd wakes up, he has much to catch up on as his newly gained power is already weakening. And the one responsible for all the mess, the one person he should eliminate, his biggest enemy, is the only person he could never kill, no matter how many chances. As the opportunity arises for Todd to regain everything he's lost, he has to make a decision: Money, power, luxury or... Black. And whatever decision he makes, he has to live with the consequences, because he cannot have both.
