With all these contracts, Aki pretty much sold his life for a step in reaching his goal; avenging his family. The eyes of death itself have been looking down on him ever since he stepped foot in the Public Safety building. Even with what seems to be very little time left, he knows eventually, he will get what he deserves for all the hardships he went through.

What he doesn’t exactly expect though, is that he would meet those eyes so soon. After finishing a solo mission to find the traces of the Gun Devil like he was supposed to, Aki abruptly stops in his tracks. Something prompted him to look in a certain direction—the same direction that he was being watched from.

There, a humanoid figure stares back at him, or rather, it’s been watching him for a while now. Quickly, Aki brushes off the uneasy feeling in his gut and continues out of the area. Even when far away, Death is able to strike fear in those around it.

"… I know." He mumbles as he quickly stashes the flesh-covered bullet in his pocket while continuing down the hill of bodies.
