“Where does seeking justice end and seeking vengeance begin?”― Paula Stokes, This is How it Happened * * * * July 2006 Shinjuku, Tokyo ‘Damn it, Tatsuya! Where the hell are you?!’ Ren was practically tearing through the streets of Shinjuku in search of his friend. He wasn’t at home. He wasn’t at Miyashita Park. And he most definitely wasn’t at the bar, as Ren had just come from there. Where could he be? Ren hit the brakes of his bike when he spied Tatsuya’s motorbike, nearly swerving into a nearby lamppost had he not hit on the brakes of his bike in time. Ren blinked rapidly several times before making his way over to Tatsuya’s motorbike, and started looking in several directions at once, wondering where he co

“It is so easy at times for a lonely individual to begin fantasizing about what the people outside are saying about him and, in result, irrationally and fearfully, and sometimes angrily, fancy himself a villain.”― Criss Jami, Healology* * * * She was there again. Always with a smile on her face which almost looks like the sun coming out, and emanating warmth and a comfort that Yuri couldn’t remember ever calling her own. Had she ever felt that warmth before? She can’t remember. But she badly wanted it back, if it had been hers at some point in her life. “Yuri, those were mine!” The voice

“Did any of them say ‘I’m glad I’m dead because death is better than slavery’? Did any of them say ‘I died for decency and it’s better than being alive’? Did any of them say ‘I’ve been rotting for two years in the earth in silence and darkness, but see how lovely it is to die for your native land’?” - Johnny Got His Gun * * * * Yuri Kirisawa leaned against the headrest of her bed, her right arm tucked beneath her head, staring at nothing in particular. She had locked herself in her room for the past three days ever since Miki’s death, and no one had tried to disturb her for which she is thankful. Not even Ren and Tohya. She desperately needed some time alone. If it’s Yuri…I believe that you can do it. If it’s Yuri… Yuri sighed to herself.

“And you’d think, wouldn’t you, that if you died you’d spend the last few seconds thinking about what you died for, because a life is a terrible thing to lose.” - Johnny Got His Gun * * * * Yuri stood outside Ren’s room and knocked on his door. “Ren, are you in there? Open up!” she called through the door, but there wasn’t a single sound that could be heard. Tohya frowned from beside her. “Do you think that he could be still asleep?” he asked. “I mean, he was back late from a mission last night after all. Maybe we should let him sleep in. We can do the interrogation with just the two of us.” Early that morning, both Yuri and Tohya were in the recreation room of the dormitory building. It was there that they received word from the Elder that one of the Phantoms had captured a guy who is believed to be working for an agent of Raven’s Gate. And the Elder wished for Tohya, Yuri
