Kikomori, 15 years old, stood in front of the imposing gate of his new high school, his heart beating with apprehension. The past haunted him like an inescapable shadow, each memory making it heavier, it had become so heavy that every step towards the gate of his establishment sounded like a knife to the legs. At age six, he had witnessed a tragedy that had shattered his life forever. His mother, a sweet and full of life woman, had always been his refuge. With her sparkling eyes and comforting smile, she was his universe, he was ready to do anything for this person whom he idolizes like a goddess who guides these days . But that fateful day, when she had interposed between him and his father. His father used to beat him after he drank, but this time it marked the end of his innocence. His father, driven by a blind rage, had struck the fatal blow. Daniel had lost not only a loving mother, but also the person who made his life a happy one. His world collapsed, his universe had witnessed a black hole that sucked up all life.
At that time, Kikomori's father had left his mother rotting in the apartment. He didn't even bother to move her. Because after he killed her, he went to the fridge. He opened and took out a bottle of Soju. He passed again before the corpse of his wife and saw Kikomori hold back her tears. He crouched and looked at him and opened his mouth to whisper words.
"Listen to me, Kikomori, if you make a sound, I'll beat you until you become like Mom," he said, pointing at Kikomori mother holding the soju bottle in her hand.
"And also, if you tell anyone about this, I'll make you regret it... I'll BURN YOUR MOTHER'S BODY!!!" Kikomori's father, Hector, says this with a snarky laugh that cuts his face from right to left.
A few days passed and the body of Kikomori's mother reached the ground. Also, without his mother to protect him and teach him the basic values for integrating into society , Kikomori was getting more and more beaten and the bruises and injuries began to be noticed. His mistress noticed all the bruises on Kikomori's body and went to ask him if everything was okay. Of course, Kikomori was afraid to answer because he could see his mother's body burn, so he refused to answer.
"Kikomori, if you're not feeling well, I'm here to help... You don't have to be afraid of me, I'm just a teacher."
Kikomori looked at her and her eyes filled with tears.
"You know what, you're gonna stay with me at the end of class, we're gonna play a game."
Daniel, who was ready to burst into tears, turned into a happy child. The tears disappeared and a smile came to take its place. That's right, mistress, what will the game be?"
"Hmmmm, we'll see about that at the end of class."
At the end of class, the teacher asked Kikomori to stay in class and she came back with the games. Daniel waited for him, but the teacher went to see the secretary to call Kikomori's parents.
After 30 minutes, Hector arrived, he was well dressed in a suit, hair back.
"Kikomori, is he all right? Is he hurt? I want to see him, please."
The teacher, troubled, watched Hector, Kikomori's father, who stood there with a cold assurance. The man, dressed in a flawless suit, looked respectable, almost flawless. No one could have imagined that he would be able to hurt a child, let alone his own wife. Kikomori, can you tell me what's going on?"She asked in a soft voice. Kikomori looked down, her thoughts clashing. Whenever he thought of answering, terror suffocated him. His father's words resounded in his mind like a funeral song: "I will burn your mother's body." The memory of his mother lying there, cold and still, paralyzed him.
Hector approached, a forced smile on his face. "Everything is fine, isn't it, my boy? You know I would never hurt my son." But his cold and threatening look said otherwise. Daniel felt a huge weight was piling up on his chest. He merely nodded, but felt the bile turn in his belly.
The mistress, frustrated by Kikomori's silence, got herself up. "I think it would be better if we talked about this in a more private place. Kikomori, why don't you go to the principal's office?" Hector raised an eyebrow and his expression grew more rigid. Why should we do that? I'm his father, I know what's best for him."
"Maybe, but I'm responsible for her well-being at school. If you do not give him the freedom to speak, I fear he will not feel safe here," replied the mistress, her voice becoming firmer.
Hector stared at her, and for a moment the silence was deafening. Kikomori could feel the tension between them, like a thread ready to break. Finally, Hector sighed as if he had made a decision. "All right. But Kikomori, don't forget, your mother is waiting for us at home... You know her, she might burn for dinner."
Kikomori raised his head and said to the teacher, "That's right, why are you doing all this?" He ran to his father to hold on to him and he said, "Let's go home."
Hector looked at the teacher and said, "My son has always had a great imagination. I don't know what he told you, but it must have been bullshit." ." Please, Dad, come on, we're going home."
Hector took Kikomori by the shoulder and started to lead him out, a smile. Kikomori tried to stay calm, but inside he was growing scared. Every step they took toward the exit brought him closer to what he feared most: returning home.
"You know, Kikomori," began Hector, his voice full of false sweetness, "sometimes adults have to make difficult decisions. You don't have to worry. Everything will be fine, I promise."
Kikomori nodded, though he did not share the same feeling. He remembered every time his father promised that everything would be fine, just before things went bad. Hector opened the door and asked Kikomori to come up. The ride was silent, nobody spoke, Hector's face represented the emotion of excitement.
When we arrived in front of the apartment building, Hector took Kikomori by the hand. Disgust was drawn on his face and they took the elevator to the 3rd floor.
Reaching their apartment, Hector opened the door with a brutal force. The sound of the beating resounded in the corridor, and Kikomori felt his heart clench.
The apartment was dark, with dim light only showing disturbing shadows in the corners. A foul smell has finally taken precedence over the sweet smell of his mother's little dishes, probably the corpse that is starting to decompose.
"Come in," said Hector, his voice raising slightly. Kikomori hesitated for a moment, then crossed the threshold. He knew he had no choice.
Once inside, Hector closed the door with a loud clap. Kikomori turned to him and his father gave him a piercing look. Sit down," he said, pointing to a chair with his finger. "We must have a conversation, be putrid." After the discussion with the mistress of Kikomori something changed with Hector he no longer qualifies his son to be human for him it is simply a deformed thing and without values.
Kikomori sat down, paralyzed by fear. Hector approached, his face glowing with a disturbing glow. You know, people don't understand what it's like to be a father," he began, the tone getting darker. They think they know better than me, but nobody really knows what's going on in our family if I can still call it that...
Hector stood up. "You know we're not really a family, my little monster". Kikomori who saw his father's arm coming to his face and had no time to react. He took about twenty blows. His father stopped and went to open the fridge to take a bottle of Soju he jammed his wife's body and took in the passage a fork. Approached Kikomori and looked at him while taking wildly his hand, with the fork he planted it so fiercely that Kikomori's skin began to bleed.
Kikomori was about to cry out in tears due to the pain, his father smiled back at him
"If I hear your voice I'll burn your mother!"
"Okay" the shaky voice "Sniff Sniff"
Hector took his bottle and began to swallow it but before he finished the drink he fatted a maximum of liquid and suddenly spat on his son a gigantic puddle of Soju on the still protruding wound of his son. The pain was such that he felt it like a fire embracing a forest. Following this he detached the belt from his pants to put him blows without giving him any respite.
The blows sounded so loud that the neighbours called the police out of fear.
"Yes hello you can come I hear strange noises coming from above..."
Kikomori, with his face deformed, still remembers the figure of his mother and looked at her from afar, the completely deformed corpse. "You're still looking at her?" Hector going in the direction of the corpse of his wife, took her by the hair and brought her then before Kikomori being positioned in the living room with hands on the mouth wanting to take everything to avoid screaming twisting of pains interieurement.
She posed right in front of her nose and Hector said with a crisp, sharp voice: "Hi Kikomori I'm your mother, you still love me despite this face." Kikomori could not hold back his tears and burst into sobbing but one thing was surprising no sound was heard despite the tears that flowed without stopping. Hector was happy and went to get corn oil. Kikomori for that short time could not see anything, his eyes were blurry.
Hector then put the whole bottle of oil on his wife's dead body. He looked at Kikomori "You have now broken the pact..." Began to ignite the corpse on the ground with a lighter in front of Kikomori's glassy eyes.
Stop, Dad!" Those cries were so weak, the words couldn't come out because he was in tears. 10 minutes later, the smoke had completely taken over the atmosphere of the house. So here is your mom she's beautiful burn" Kikomori hears nothing and runs to the corpse of his mother who burns. It was then that the smell of his mother began to be his only source of comfort in this black mist. "I leave you Kikomori...". His father then goes into the kitchen leaving his son in a dark forest of mist. Being in the kitchen he took the knife and went to see Kikomori.
Kikomori, who has blurred vision, does not see his father come in a hurry with his sharp knife in his hands." Here" Gives him the knife "Plant me depeche you child incapable" Kikomori being confused complement following this request did absolutely nothing. " You don't want to do it okay so look" Hector then starts to hurry because the atmosphere was starting to become unbreathable.
Under eyes still filled with tears, he stood while holding the hands of Kikomori who then held the knife. Hector had to shake his son's hands so hard to get out of the way because Kikomori's hands had become weak and no will was emanating from him.
The blood gicled on Kikomori's face while his blurry eyes and blurred vision turned into a vision of hell he saw only red and it was the blood of his father that he hated so much. His father then went to the door holding his wound as if his life depended on it. Opened the door and said "Help, my son has killed my wife, help her quickly!"
The neighbours heard cries of almost despair and rushed outside to see the person who had made the deafening cries. At the same time two police cars are approaching. A few neighbors then go to the door of Hector's apartment, they quickly located him with all the black smoke that escapes. They then live a vision of horror a child holding a knife, the same child was filled with blood.
***
Today he did not have many calls or infractions it was then an ordinary day for Tsubasa and Akira who was not yet ready for the disaster that he would bring on their gloomy career.
"PSSSSST-KSSSS" Radio Call then...
Patrol 19 "A noise nuisance would then be detected at 498 Shinjuku district at the residence on the third floor"
Tsubasa and Akira took this direction being relatively serene because today was a quiet day.
"Another noise nuisance we could have finished earlier tonight do shit" Akira says that to his colleague and notes that Tsubasa had eyes spread out as if he had seen a ghost.
"what the problem"
"You can check the address quickly"
"CThis is the right address, 498 Shinjuku district at the residence"
" Shit it's not that a simple noise of nuisance the residence burns looks at this black smoke, warn emergency firefighters"
Tsubasa stopped his car near the residence without taking time to park and started running as fast as possible towards the residence.
"What are you doing waiting for me" Akira then shouted that to Tsubasa...
***
"Oh my god!!!" A woman shouted it out of all her guts when she saw a child filled with blood holding a knife.
Someone then enters and tries to save the black pieces of flesh near the boy with the help of the fire extinguisher available. Kikomori then stood up and pointed his knife at the man who is unknown to him, he saw it as a threat thinking that he wanted to harm his mother.
***
Tsubasa went up to the third floor of the residence leaving his friend in the ground and then saw a group of people positioned in front of a door that he had trouble distinguishing due to black smoke escaping he shouted "Here the police push you give me the passage quickly" The policeman enters and sees the scene then horrible.
"What's going on here tell me that." He saw a piece of flesh burned in the boy's hands. " The boy is not well enough, but look at you you are completely burned" The policeman notes that the child no longer reacts "Kikomori had fainted due to a certain lack of oxygen while squeezing with all this force the remains of the corpse already in decomposition of his mother.
"Let me pass" Hector tries a passage in force saying then "I am hurt I have more for long this child has hurt me and he killed my wife" He no longer considers him as his son of now. He then went to hold the shirt of the policeman Akira who had just arrived on the scene while saying "Stop this thing I beg you". Tsubasa heard the man's words and took the initiative to carry the boy, then completely unconscious.
5 minutes later the ambulance finally arrived." Take this boy quickly, he is completely burned, what a horrible sight!" Hector prayed with all his being so that his son does not get up. "Sir come with us we have questions to ask you..."
