{ Don't die… please, don't do this again }
For a moment, the world around me stopped.
Rina…
Don't move… it can't be…
° Who the hell are you, and what do you have to do with these two girls? °
He started speaking to me with a look of arrogance on his face.
He added that he had not been paid for protecting them, and when she refused and tried to run away, he stopped her.
[What kind of protection is this filthy bastard talking about…?]
He began walking toward me slowly, a knife in his hand that was still dripping with blood.
But I wasn't the one he was targeting.
It was Miyar.
° You should pay too if your sister can't. °
The moment he reached his hand toward her, I found myself grabbing his arm before it could touch her, without even realizing it.
Don't touch her, you bastard.
° Are you trying to play the hero, Judge Kenjin? I know who you are. That's why I haven't touched you until now.
I heard you helped one of the big managers of the black markets recently in his case… the one where a little girl was killed.
So I'd rather not start trouble with you. Just pretend you didn't see anything, and everything will be fine… just like you always do… you filthy judge. °
[He's right… I've turned a blind eye to things like this for far too long. But what's the point of chang—]
« Don't lie… don't lie… he's a good person »
Rina… she's alive!
She tried to get up, but she couldn't.
"Rina!!!"
Miyar ran toward her.
° Get away from her, you brat! °
He kicked Miyar violently, sending her crashing to the ground.
[I'll kill you with these hands.]
Before I even realized it, I struck him with a punch that sent him to the ground.
The knife fell from his hand.
[I'll send you to hell.]
I kept hitting him over and over until my hands started bleeding.
He lost consciousness.
I'll come back to you later… just wait.
"Miyar…"
"She's alive… but… p-please help my sister, mister…"
It's okay… just rest for a moment.
I went to Rina.
Her condition was terrible… she was breathing with great difficulty.
Please hold on… I'm calling an ambulance right now.
She opened one of her eyes and looked at me with extreme weakness.
[I don't want to go through this again… I'm begging you… stay with us.]
[Please don't leave… like my mother did.]
I didn't even realize when the tears started falling from my eyes.
[I'm crying…? …Impossible.]
Rina slowly raised her hand and began wiping away my tears.
« Don't cry… you don't deserve to cry. »
She lost consciousness and stopped moving.
Please… stay with us…
The ambulance will be here any moment.
Please, God… keep her alive… she doesn't deserve any of this.
[Does someone like me even have the right to pray to God after everything I've done?…
How fragile the limits of humans are.]
[A devil begging in prayer…
something you don't see every day.]
