"Hey, Dad," Kyra asked Indhra. They were both travelling in the car. Indhra was driving it. " What is it?". Kyra looked back at the front and asked," How did you and Mom meet? Just asking." Indhra replied," It was weird, we were in a bar, I was with my Hidoi, and you're mom came to drink. Can't blame her though, she broke up with her first boyfriend"
" Wait, she was in a relationship before you," Kyra asked while turning her head to Indhra, her eyes enlarged as she was in shock." Yeah, it was weird for me too, dating her as she had dated before me. Why are you asking, though?". Kyra let her head down," Ohh, I see, you're in that age now, what are you 12?" Asked Indhra. " I am 14, and no, I ain't dating anyone, I was just asking."
Kyra looked at the shelf in front of her in the car. Indhra smiled. Kyra lifted her arm and directed her hand towards the handle of the shelf. She used her fingers to wiggle the handle like a guitar player. She started smiling like she was hiding something.
********
Hands were playing guitar. The guitar had a sticker attached to the body. The sticker said, 'The Best Dad In The World'. The one who was playing the guitar was a woman, not a man, but her hands, by looks, looked rough, and her left eye was a bit damaged.
She stopped for some time, but to do something more important to herself. She kept her left hand on her pants left pocket to take a box. It was a box of cigarettes that also had a sign of cancer on it. She ignored the sign and used her right hand to open the cap of the box and remove one cigarette; she kept her right arm resting on the guitar body. She removed a cigarette and kept it in her mouth. She used her right hand to pick up a lighter that was dropped on the floor surrounded by many cigarettes, which were already used. She picked up the lighter and used it to light the front of the cigarette.
There was a spark there, lighting the cigarette. It slowly started to burn through the cylindrical shape. She was not sitting on a chair, she was sitting on the ground, so she kept the guitar in her lap and slept, still cigarette in her mouth. She was sleeping in Indhra's cafe; it was night, so the cafe was closed. Suddenly, someone opened the entrance gate. It was Aldred; he looked older because he had grown older. He is around 21 now. The woman looks up, and it is none other than Kyra. Aldred sighs and starts to walk towards her and removes the cigarette from her mouth, and was going to throw it away, but Kyra then holds his hand and says," Don't take it away." She was angry at him.
" You always keep smoking, what about your health, don't you care about it at all?" Kyra looked at Aldred's eyes. " Don't you dare take my cigarettes from my hand!" Aldred said," I dared cause I cared about you!". Kyra replied," I don't need anybody's care in my life. I am sufficient for my well-being. What is well-being for me? I failed this planet." She pushed Aldred and started to walk to the entrance of Indhra's house. Aldred said," You didn't fail me nor anyone in this world except yourself". She opened the entrance door and looked back to say," That is everything to me."
________
Life is too hard when you lose something. The death of Shinsetsu and Indhra's imprisonment caused Kyra to lose herself completely. She got addicted to cigarettes as they kept her calm from overthinking everything. She was now 21, just the same age as Aldred. It is 2140 AD, right at this point in the world. Nothing changed much from before, except for some new laws in the Taka government, where the military is sent to hunt down the rest of the Lemoyne group and also to hunt down an empire that is rapidly growing, 'Vorteil', located in today's part of New Delhi, India.
The court imprisoned Indhra for the TTC law 223, which states that the murder of any innocent life will cause a life imprisonment. Wait, didn't Indhra only kill the Lemoyne group people, and wouldn't this come under self-defence? It will, but somehow there were dead bodies of innocent citizens, Khrogh. Hidoi, Kara, and 47 tried to defend Indhra by saying that an external party plotted it, but as there was no proof to suggest that, the judge decided to imprison Indhra until there is any proof.
What happened after Indhra transformed after seeing more invaders coming to his kingdom. The person who entered was Hidoi, so Indhra stopped attacking and fainted.
********
" Do you trust him?" Asked Kara to Hidoi. They were both lying on the same bed, Kara's hand on Hidoi's chest. " He saved me, that's the end of it." Kyra stood up and covered her chest with the blanket and said," Do you even realize how many lives he is taking in a year? He makes some to do by you, he uses you, Hidoi!". He looked at his palm, which bore a scar.
********
47 was looking at his palm, which also had the same scar on it. He was sitting on a chair, or to say, his throne. There were two statues of men holding axes pointed towards the throne. " I am sorry, son, I couldn't save you. I tried my best." The door in front of him opens, making a lot of noise. A person with a royal dress walks into the hall. The hall had many seats. The throne was elevated up connected with stairs. Normally, mayors sit in the other seats, but this time there were none.
The person stops in front of the stairs and kneels with one leg. He says," Kingdom Menchent has cancelled the treaty, their Shadow State leader Lynx said,' Keep the treaty in your communism. ' Should we do any retaliation towards them?". 47 always wears a mask which had the logo of communism. Beside him, there was a sword. He stood up and lifted the sword, and turned back to bash the sword on his throne. The sword broke, showing 47's strength. He then roared," Then they call me the suicidal maniac, what about them? Risking their lives just because they think communism is bad. Every time a conflict occurs... I blame myself for taking so many lives, at this point, it doesn't even feel. First Shogun, then Urai, then everyone!".
He fell on his knees and said," Akuma, you said, no more lives will be gone, now it is no more evident, sacrifices, that's what you named them, now it is no more what you called it"
