Time passed.
Carico and others were moved to a different city. A city more prosperous and advanced than the previous one. Carico slow grew up. But life was dull. There was no anticipation or expectation. Just a faint hum of wanting to do something was always present under his chest.
He attended school, got good grades, received praises. But nothing felt true anymore. He became withdrawn. Quiet.
Even when bullying started, he said nothing.
They call him names, blame him for Father Itsuki's death. Saying things like, father Itsuki dead trying to save him. He never corrected them.
Who is going to believe him when the world already sentenced him guilty?
Carico paid no mind and luved his monotonous life.
Today, his 18th birthday, there was a slight excitement in his chest. Because now, he is now able to do voluntary work near villain zones. Help the police keep the public in check as the heroes defeated the villains.
