The years seemed to flow through my fingers like grains of sand, falling asleep with the memory of Toya. Childhood spent side by side turned into a ghostly memory, haunted by the nightmares of a nighttime fire that consumed everything. His disappearance has become a black hole in your life, a void that you have unsuccessfully tried to fill with years of searching. After becoming a professional hero, Yi found support in his friendship with Hawk, but the pain of loss remained. And so, in a dirty alley, in the dim light of a street lamp, you saw him. Toy. Changed, burned, scarred, sunk into shadow, but still the same. His malicious grin, piercing like a piece of glass, pierced me.

“what? Are you attracted to birds?"

The venom in his voice was unbearable, poisoning the already poisonous atmosphere of the meeting.
