Chapter 4 - Diary of the Broken Monster

Lucas sat at his desk, staring down at Johan's diary. Rain tapped against the window as he slowly turned the pages. His eyes widened.

> "Hmph… this is… heavy."

The pages showed a brutal childhood. Johan's mother and father had written cruel things.

> "You're the most disgusting son I've ever seen."

"Why were you even born?"

"I want you to die, monster."

When Johan was only five, he tried to save a bird. But he accidentally touched an exposed wire. An electric shock burned half his face.

Instead of care, his parents tortured him more, calling him a monster. At school, he was bullied daily. The only light in his life was his older brother — Henry, who always protected him.

Lucas closed the diary slowly.

> "There's a lot in here... but one thing is clear: this Johan isn't acting alone. Someone else is helping him. A vampire...?"

Scene – A Patrol Gone Wrong

That night, during a routine police patrol, officers encountered Johan. He didn't hesitate — he slaughtered them, vanishing into the night.

Scene – Henry's House

Henry was sitting in his small apartment when someone knocked on the door.

It was Martin.

> Martin: "You know what my rule is?" "To help monsters. Because we are monsters."

He walked in calmly.

> Martin: "Your brother... Johan... he's like me. He kills because of what the world did to him."

> Henry: "Yeah... I guess I understand him. But I'm not like that."

Martin's expression turned cold.

> Martin: "Can I do one favor for you?"

> Henry: "What favor?"

Before he could finish, Martin moved like a shadow.

A silver knife slashed across Henry's throat.

His blood sprayed the floor. Martin whispered:

> "Guess my work here is done."

He placed a forged police ID on the table — one with Stephen's name. Then he disappeared.

Scene – Johan's Rage

Later that night, Johan arrived at Henry's house. He found his brother's corpse... and the ID.

> Johan (calling Martin): "My brother's dead."

> Martin: "Who killed him?"

> Johan: "Stephen. His ID was here."

> Martin: "Ah... I see. He's a detective. I can give you his address, if you like."

Fueled by grief and rage, Johan attacked a squad of officers. Three were killed.

Now, he was headed to the police station.

Scene – Police Station Attack

Stephen heard the alarm but didn't panic. He grabbed his weapon and called James.

Outside the station, Johan slaughtered more guards. He finally stepped forward.

> Stephen: "Johan. So... what brings you here?"

> Johan: "You killed my brother. Time to die."

Stephen narrowed his eyes.

They fought. Stephen punched Johan, but suddenly, another attacker — Arata — joined in.

Stephen snapped Arata's neck with a brutal move.

Johan retreated, hiding in the shadows.

Suddenly, a sharp card flew out from the dark, slashing deep into Stephen's side.

> Johan (laughing): "I can't fight you. But I can play with you."

He revealed his face as another card flew.

But this time — BANG — a bullet hit Johan.

Lucas had arrived.

> Lucas: "Johan. I expected you. But not this soon."

> Johan (coughing blood): "He... Stephen... killed my brother."

> Stephen: "I didn't... what the hell?"

> Lucas: "I believe Stephen. He wouldn't do that. But tell me — who was behind all this?"

Johan smirked, even bleeding.

> Johan: "Dracula."

> Lucas: "...Dracula?"
