_Transcendent

A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. 

With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters.

But when you're alive, there's hope. 

The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. 

The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice.

Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. 

Or. 

Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself.

When he returned to his bedroom, Akira was sitting on the edge of the mattress, with a leg crossed over the other and arms folded. The look in her eyes, when she started at Varian, was one of disdain and…suspicion.

"You killed the two peak rank 2s that day. But to think you're actually a rank 3…you hid well." Akira's gaze was piercing, like a scientist's gaze toward an experimental monkey.

"You don't seem worried about it." Without much worry, Varian sat right next to her and said.

Akira's brows furrowed and she scowled at him.

H-How dare he? How dare he sit next to her and talk like an equal?

"Do you really think I won't kill you? Your job is done and that means, your use is over." She clutched Varian's neck before he could react and leaned her face toward his.

Her crimson eyes gazed into his pitch-black eyes and a thick killing intent enveloped Varian.
