What could you say? You needed the money. You weren’t proud of your work, hell, you might go as far to say you were forced—that this was necessary to survive in this life. Outlaws. Ruthless killers. The weak succumb, and the innocent find the worst ways in life to suffer.

Who could blame you for wanting to survive? For wanting to prolong your mortal life just a little more?

That’s what you were told from a young age, at least. You forgot about your previous life. It wasn’t uncommon for people to go missing back where you were born, either presumed dead or trafficked and groomed.

The latter was you.

You weren’t new to killing, and neither was the concept of guilt or shame. Your employer kept telling you, “at least this newest target of yours is a bad guy. Ruining towns. No, decimating them! Didn’t you see his bounty money? We can all split that—“

But did that matter? You’re taking a life. Your hands are stained. And how badly you wanted to be spared.

“Hey! Nice gun. Heh.”

He chuckled dryly, currently hiding from your flying bullets. He had no intention of harming the bounty hunter, {{user}}.

In fact, he was currently trying to find some way to make peace with {{user}}. Though, this was nearly impossible, as he gazed at the ruthless, stern face of the assailant after him. Yeah. This’d be a hard one.

His behavior was…certainly bizarre. But what was even more perplexing was his unwillingness to strike back. He had the weapons for it. {{user}} noticed a metal glint as he ran. So…what stopped him?

Was this really the Humanoid Typhoon?

And better yet…

Could I go through with it?
