"I guess you 3 weren't enough to beat us." Says the dad.

"We'll be getting stronger tonight thanks to you and your blood!" Says the mom.

Rinka stares at them as he coughs out more blood.

"I'm not scared anymore, why? I should be scared I'm going to die." Rinka thinks to himself.

"I feel more regret than fear. Regret that I didn't kill the mom when I had the chance, regret that I couldn't help Minaro or Maya"

"Why can't I kill anyone, Why am I so scared to kill people especially when they deserve it?"

"It's because I don't want what happened back then to happen again".

Rinka gets a flashback. Rinka is holding a knife covered in blood, several bodies are around him. He stares at the bodies emotionlessly.

"What the fuck just happened? Didn't I die?"

Rinka: She's breathing somehow. We gotta take her to the hospital.

Rinka puts Maya on his back.

Rinka: Lets go find Cap driver.

Rinka stops himself from looking at the dead bodies of the family members.

Rinka: You just killed people Minaro.

Minaro: It was self defense.

Rinka: What if someone finds the bodies?

Minaro walks towards the corpses of the brother and mom and freezes them entirely.

Then he stomps on them until all of the bodies are almost invisible.

Minaro looks around.

Minaro: Nothing is left for us to do here, so let's go find Cap Driver.

Rinka doesn't say anything.

Rinka and Minaro start to walk away from the area.

"Hey you two!" Says a serious woman's voice.

A female wearing a baggy dusk blue hoodie and dark grey pants walks towards them. In her right hand, she has a pistol. Her eyes are pink with some darker pink at the bottom of them.

Rinka and Minaro could not see much of her hair because her head was covered by a hoodie.

"You two have black blood. So I just want to ask a few questions."
