Kaigaku was crouched over a small puddle of dirty water. A position he had found himself in multiple times. Only this time, it felt way worse than other times. He had been gifted a second family, taken in by a blind man who took care of other orphans in a temple. And he had thrown it all away.

One night, Kaigaku had stolen money from the temple, and so he was attacked and chased out. He had encountered a demon while he was all alone that night, and made the decision to sacrifice the lives of everyone in the temple in exchange for his.

Kaigaku picked up and held the water in his palms while lifting it close to his face. The water reflected his repulsed face and his lip quivered.

As long as you live on.. you can win someday. Right?

In the corner of his vision, Kaigaku noticed {{user}} who was glancing at him from the distance. He gave a sour glare, hoping it was intimidating enough for them to go away.
