Chapter 3 - Family

After Rain was adopted, Sunny was left with nothing but cruelty. His kindness, his innocence, both stolen away by everything.

Sunny wasnt just wandering, he was deliberately planning to leave and reunite quickly with Rain.

Within a month, Sunny had already memorized every facility of the orphanage. Every faces of every adult he met. When their duty starts and ends, where they normally stay and go. He was quick to memorize within a month.

He could have left without anyone noticing in the first week, yet he remained. What he needs is money to sustain him and Rain for a long time, he was already planning way a head after their reunion.

Obviously, his plans was extremely impractical. Despite experiencing the cruelty of life early on, Sunny was still a kid his naivety is still quite apparent.

Despite the advancement of technology, the orphanage was still behind. Utilizing safe locks to hide their funds.

Night came and it was time for sunny to leave, the orphanage's money was already gone.

It wasnt difficult to remember dozens of numbers with his mind built for memorizing. It didn't matter to Sunny where the orphanage is going to use the money he stole.

Although one of two leaders of the orphanage has been generous and kind to him, Sunny has already suffered enough to truly feel affection again.

Days come by, the local gang seemingly stepped up to invite the wandering children expelled into the outskirts by an abandoned orphanage.

Being the only orphanage on the outskirts, normally children should've been brought within the inner city yet with the ever expanding dead zones, lack of resources had forced the children to be discarded.

Soon after, A master came and brought another person who could help Sunny.

The man who agreed to take the stolen money took the risk and guided Sunny into and area within the inner city. They arrived at a decent home.

An appearance of fortified alloy, one that can survive multiple hits from a nightmare creature. It was that kind of decent the home was.

During that time, while Sunny was observing the fortified home. The local gang became aware of one of their members going to the inner city.

The leader of the gang wasn't one to feel betrayed as she knew this kid well, she's merely curious.

"shame, such a hard working kid just left I wonder if he'll return." she contemplated, not really one to inspire others to remain in the group.

Inside her room, the leader manages papers that investigate a robbery that happened a long time ago. Despite no leads, she remained adamant to find the one responsible for her brother's death.

The fallen orphanage was managed by two siblings, despite the older sister always being gone saying "Without me the outskirts would swallow this orphange whole, this place is not just desolate but also lawless."

The elder sister had always helped her little brother to build an official orphanage approved by the government. Although approved they couldn't get enough fund to maintain it.

Then robbery happened, the brother couldn't handle losing such a large money. He became ill and died soon after, leaving the sister to care for every children in her own way.

As she compiled new information about the case, a member came in with a few others who where once part of the orphanage.

The meeting was quick to end, this left her full of emotions. Reminded of her past, her hand drifted into her scars.
