Cannot Hold On to Loved Ones
My parents' enemy kidnapped me and live-streamed cutting off my fingers, just to force them to show up.
For a time, the entire internet was searching for my parents. But what no one knew was that the police chief on the live connection was my real father.
At that very moment, he was on a beach in Havai, lighting fireworks for his adopted son. And on their barbecue table, the live stream of my fingers being cut off was playing.
Later, I survived long enough to be rescued, and I reached out with my severed fingers, wanting to touch my parents. But they recoiled in disgust and, without so much as a backward glance, took their adopted son out for steak.
What they never realized was that hidden inside my severed fingers was something that would make them regret everything.
