The young man invited Nina to sit down while enjoying the beauty of the dam flowing by the river. 

"Uhm... who were they?" asked Nina.

"It is just a nuisance.

They always harass the young women here and they become victims of rape.

You're lucky because I saw you.  "

"I see.

At the cafe, umm... "said Nina, who was nervous. 

The young man immediately interrupted.

"I told you, don't call me sir. Remember," he said

"I'm sorry."

 "You don't have to apologize. I should be the one apologizing. You're still careless, but your heart is so soft. There's so much... so much I want to talk to you, "he said, as if trying to contain his feelings. 

Nina didn't know what to say after hearing what the young man said. However, she instead saw his face, which was quite pale. 

"Yeah,

Are you OK? "asked Nina

"I'm fine. Just dizzy. " He said,

"Sorry. I just... "

"It's OK. About the cafe... I secretly recorded the incident on my cellphone. At that time, I had an appointment to meet my friend. As soon as I finished recording, I immediately sent it to my friend while telling him to take it to the police station, "he said.

"But.. are you sure it's okay?

That time you fought with the robbers? "said Nina, who was worried, 

"it's OK. Well, I've been practicing martial arts since I was in junior high with my adopted brother. Perhaps that's why you see me beating the robber.However, I practiced because there were things I wanted to do. " He said,

"What do you want to do? "asked Nina.

"I said earlier, didn't I? Actually, I'm a child who once lived in an orphanage.  "

"You are an orphanage?" asked Nina.

"More precisely, I live in an orphanage with my little sister," he said.

For some reason, the words of the young man felt familiar to Nina. Even so...

" that's our promise. "

"(This memory. Maybe he knows something? Why do you and your little sister live in an orphanage? "asked Nina. 

At first, there was silence, until finally, the young man began to explain to Nina.
