Pain

Before Izumi dies:

“All of that screaming, but no backup. You are making me laugh, Mr. Hero. But that’s what they always do.

They’ll use you when they need to and throw you aside like trash after meeting their necessities.

You are an empty shell. A sausage packed with no meat. A person with no reason to exist. Someone like you should just give up and die.” The 2-star general whispered to Izumi. He wants to stab him again to make sure that Izumi won’t wake up again.

Pain.

It's the first thing he feels when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a distance. The voice is blurry and inscrutable. He tries to move his arms and legs but it seems as if he is paralyzed by something he can't comprehend.

The voice grows louder and but it is still inscrutable. He can't explain if the voice belongs to a female or a male but it is somewhat telling him something important.
