Season 2 Episode 52: Gratitude & Motherhood

Step! Step!

As the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Claude couldn't help but grit his teeth due to frustration. The footsteps were closer than ever now, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake. Not right now.

Step! Step!

"I've got you now!" Claude swung his katana as soon as the first step was heard, and the sound of flesh being sliced was heard for a second, before a soft whisper entered into Claude's ear. "Sakuto…. why?!"

Thud!

The lifeless figure fell onto the snow filled road in front of Claude, who stared at the body with a horrified expression on his face. 

"...Mother?"

Thud!

Claude knelt down in front of the lifeless corpse of his mother, and softly caressed her face.

"Why on earth... Why?!" Claude screamed in agony as he clenched his fists and slammed it hard on the snowy roads, causing a loud explosion and creating a huge crater on the spot where he punched.
