MAIN STORY : CHAPTER 3 PART 9

━

After returning to the inn to rest for the night, I was standing on the balcony contemplating the future while enjoying the night breeze.

*FLASHBACK*

ROUGE : That guy told me that three days from now, the Bloody Lady is gonna have a huge rally. I guess it's some kinda tradition they do before carrying out big plans. Everyone participates. Even if you're injured. Even if you're sick. Even if you have to crawl to the rally on broken wrists and ankles. ROUGE : If I was to guess, that would be the best time to invade the warehouse.

*END FLASHBACK*

EMMA : (Three days from now…?)

Letting out a sigh I rested my weary body against the doorframe. Just then, I heard a familiar voice coming from outside of my room… ?? : Are you okay? CROW : Yeah, I'm fine. You don't gotta worry about me. ISTUKI : I can't help but worry…I noticed how you changed when you saw those men who were hit by the black powder…Maybe you were remembering something from your past? CROW : Yeah…I just can't help but notice how similar it is to what happened with my mom and dad… ITSUKI : I knew it… CROW : Sorry I worried you…But it's okay… Kai's helping those guys and I feel better already. Thanks for checking on me. ITSUKI : I might not be Emma, but I want to support you too. CROW : It really means a lot. ITSUKI : That's good to hear. We should get some rest. CROW : Yeah, I'll rest soon. Just gonna go out and catch some air. EMMA : (Seeing those men reminded Crow of his family…?)

From the way he spoke, I could only imagine they were sad memories. Cracking open the door, I watch Crow closely. His features are filled with sorrow. I've never seen him like this… It's enough to make my chest tighten painfully. Without thinking about it, I followed him outside. CROW : …….. EMMA : Crow….? CROW : Hey, Emma. What's up? EMMA : I heard you talking just now… I wanted to tell him that I overheard the conversation about his past with Itsuki…I wanted to ask him about his parents and to apologize for eavesdropping…But, I couldn't seem to get the words out…

CROW : Why don't you sit down with me? The stars are beautiful tonight. Before I could protest, Crow smiled at me softly and I couldn't help but give a weak nod. Taking a seat next to him. Leaning up against him as we stared up at the starry night sky. EMMA : Hey, Crow… How are you holding up? CROW : I'm doing fine. EMMA : That's not how it looks to me…If you have something you need to talk about, I'm all ears…But only if you want, no pressure. CROW : Yeah, okay… In that case, can I tell you an old story? EMMA : Of course.

CROW : Once upon a time, there was this sad, loner kid. He hated everyone and everything around him. He spent all his time sleeping. He didn't have any passion to do anything else. Then one day, an old man with a hat, holding a bear in his arms, showed up. Just as he showed up, the kid was hit in the head and knocked out cold. EMMA : (Is he talking about himself and my dad…?) CROW : When the kid woke up, he was being carried by that old man. Nearly dying. In time, there were four of them on the trip. It was all one big happy adventure. And the kid started dreaming while he was awake. He had so many fun dreams. As he speaks, I know he's talking about his own past. CROW : Being alone is the worst. EMMA : (You've said that before…) I still didn't know about Crow's parents or the past he was talking about earlier, but I knew that what he'd just shared with me, was a special memory that Crow cherished deeply. EMMA : That old man must have given that kid a reason to dream. CROW : Yeah, he did. And that's why I wanna be just like him. If I ever see someone alone and crying…I want to help them. Even if it's tough. Even if I have to push them out of bed. I want to help them see that this world can be such an interesting place. CROW : The reason why I'm chasing after those bad guys, isn't just 'cause I want to see Eden again. Those guys destroy dreams. I'll never forgive them for that. I want to stop them at all costs. EMMA : I feel the same way. With that, the two of us stood up, still leaning on one another. Eyes fixed on that expansive sky. With interlocked hands, we take a deep breath, and prepare for the next three days.

VICTOR : I've filled them in on the details like you told me to. They should be more careful now. CAMUS : Good. I feared they would make a bad move if I left them alone. VICTOR : You're the one who is making bad moves, Camus. This is dangerous. Especially now. CAMUS : Victor, there are things I must do, even at the risk of my life.
