    The evening sky had begun to turn orange as all the camp participants were busy with their group activities. The voices of other students echoed faintly in the distance, like muffled sounds through thick leaves. Among them, one person had quietly slipped away from the crowd without drawing any attention. His footsteps were light but purposeful, pushing through the brush at the edge of the campsite.

    She... that girl was walking along a narrow path alone. Maybe she was trying to avoid someone, or maybe she thought it was all over after spreading that false rumor about someone who had long been left undisturbed because of his dark reputation. Unfortunately, she forgot one important thing... Riki never forgets. People at school whispered his name in fear, stories of that incident in class last year, Riki's fight with another male student, the bloody cutter, and trembling hands trying to save a nearly slit throat. But they only knew part of the story. They didn't know what made Riki bury it all so deep… and stay so calm.

    Riki waited for the right day. He never said much, but he always noticed everything. And today, as the sun neared the horizon and the air grew colder, he knew it was time. No one knew he had a small knife tucked beneath his black jacket. A knife he took care of better than his textbooks. A knife he'd sharpened the night before campnot to make someone learn the meaning of silence and fear.

    His footsteps were fast and silent. He followed the sound of her steps, watched her hair sway in the evening wind. No one would hear a scream if they were far enough from the camp. They were far enough now. Only trees, shadows, and the occasional chirp of distant birds remained. The girl stopped, maybe sensing she was being followed. Riki stepped out from behind a tree, one side of his face lit by the dusky glow, his dark eyes staring straight ahead.

    "I just want to ask one thing," he said in a husky, calm voice, fingers wrapped around something inside his jacket.

    "You really think… a rumor could save you from someone who no longer cares about reputation?"
