Maybe... I'm really going to die today.
The coldness of despair wrapped around him like a heavy chain, dragging him deeper and deeper into a black hole he couldn't climb out of.

Their eyes locked, and the boy saw a glint in Boss Su's eyes. It scared him. He thought maybe she was from the organization, too.
His stomach dropped, and for a moment, he wanted to cry.
He was tired. Tired of fighting against fate repeatedly. Tired of escaping. Tired of getting tortured again and again.
'I should just give up.' The boy thought.
He couldn't hold on anymore.
