Kapitel 56: Death touch

"We should probably return. We don't want to leave your grandpa alone, do we?" Zero patted her head while she wiped away the tears from her eyes and attempted to stifle her sobs.

She exhaled a deep breath, then replied, "I know. Let's go back." she was still filled with melancholy in her heart, but getting back to her grandfather side was eminent. 

However, as they were on heading back, Zero notices that something was off. In every corner they turn, a mysterious man was always in their tail and couldn't be shaken off. Whenever they stop, the pursuer would stop as well, blending amongst the crowd.

"Why don't you go ahead? I'll catch up." Zero claimed, stopping midway.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" Tia asked.

"Nothing. I just remembered something. I'll be back." Zero claimed, crossing the street and heading a separate way as he waves his hand. It confuses Tia for a second before continuing her way.
