"Let me go." Shin stated in an awkward manner.
"Yes yes."
"Always so cold, this little brother of ours." Ryo pouted.
"Heh! Just like the person himself!" Haru jested with a grin.
Shin turned to face Ephert once again, and Ephert had a bitter look in his eyes as he observed their camaraderie.
"You..." Shin lowered his eyes. "You are pitiful."
"...what did you just say?" Ephert narrowed his eyes.
"Even if what you went through was similar to us," Shin glared at Ephert. "We will never become like you."
Those words were a trigger to Ephert, and he exploded in anger, grabbing onto the metal bars of the jail cell.
"Lies!"
"Sooner or later, this is what everyone becomes!"
"We are selfish, cruel and only survive for ourselves! No one else matters!"
Shin turned away, looking at Haru and the rest.
"It was nice seeing you all again," Shin said with a small smile, his tone warm. "You...really kept to your promise."
"Of course!" Haru nodded.
Ryo and Kiyae voiced out in agreement.
