{ Reality is painful, but I will fight to return to you, no matter what happens }
My head hurts!
At this very moment, in Hakan's restaurant:
"What time is it right now?"
"I think it's 1:00 PM."
"Damn it! I completely forgot about Kenjin!"
"I warned you more than once, but you were busy with the customers."
"I'm going to change my clothes, and I'll call Maria to come help you out."
"Hurry up then, don't waste any more time!"
"Alright, goodbye."
The moment Hakan rushed out, a woman was about to enter the restaurant. She was wearing a hat, and Hakan couldn't see her face.
It was...
Hakan went into his house to change his clothes.
When he finished, he grabbed his phone...
It turned out to be dead... Was the charger not working anymore?...
"Damn it, it hasn't charged even a bit since this morning! This is why a person should always carry a spare phone. Kenjin might have already tried calling me several times... My aunt's phone is old, so I can't use her charger... Wait... there's one at the restaurant!"
Hakan returned to the restaurant, but as soon as he opened the door...
"Hello! Give me the charger from the kitchen, because..."
"Hello, friend of my friend. How are you?"
"...W... What are you doing here?!"
"Isn't it obvious? It's a restaurant, so what's the point of being here if I didn't want to eat? Besides, I heard your food is delicious."
"There are thousands of restaurants out there, why did you choose this one in particular?"
"Calm down, calm down. I wasn't lying—your food is well known around here for being delicious. Also, I need something, so I chose this place."
"Hakan? Why did you come back?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to charge my phone, but..."
"If that's the case, then it's fine, but why has your face turned pale?"
"No, you're just imagining things. Anyway... don't serve any food to that woman over there. She brings nothing but trouble."
"Harsh words, but it doesn't matter. Don't be so rough on me; I'm just here for lunch and I don't carry any bad intentions..."
"One more word, and I'll make sure this is your last meal."
"Hakan! Calm down! You're not acting like yourself!"
"... I'm sorry... It's just that I..."
"A large pizza with a bottle of Cola, and don't forget the French fries as well!"
".... I'm sorry, but..."
"Mrs. Jina, please prepare what she ordered. I'm the one who invited her."
'Children of the dark... they recognize one another.'
"What are you doing here... Kenjin?"
Kenjin entered the restaurant, accompanied by Maria.
"Long story. What matters right now... let's sit down and talk."
And with that, the three of them gather in one place for the very first time
