Brittle

Two months ago

[The day after he lost his inheritance]

Takahashi Mito left the old age home and came to the restaurant.

He once again used the mirror world to enter the restaurant and dumped the body of the owner into the cold storage of the

Restuarant and closed the restaurant while placing a sign that the owner was away for family reunion.

As he had two bodies lying in the restaurant, for the next three days, he experimented with various items from the mirror world and actual world and found out that any item taken or brought into the mirror world disintegrates in a period of time.

He then dumped the body of the owner into the mirror world.

As his hands were moving towards the body of the little girl, his hands stopped.

He wasn't able to throw her body into the mirror world on that day.

He cleaned the whole restuarant and began to leave.

As he was leaving, the young lady, the mother of the little girl, saw him coming out of the restaurant and asked about the restaurant owner.

She may have found some clues but since she never told Mito, he didn't know.

She just asked one thing. Does he know when the restaurant owner will come?

He said that he didn't know.

The next day, some people came to the restaurant and asked how he was related to the owner.

He lied that he was the owner's relative.

He lied that he was a distant relative to the owner.

It turned out that the owner was reported missing by his actual relatives since he told them he was coming for the holidays.

'Must be him trying to go underground after committing the crime.'

Nothing was found about the owner and he was declared as a victim of the mysterious kidnappings.

Days passed, the lady came everyday to ask the same question.

No one else came to the restaurant and he was spending his days drowned in guilt.

He knew about the owner, he should have been able to guess that the owner could also be the kidnapper but he was so drowned in his own self that he disregarded that point.

His was feeling guilty. He would not have felt a shred of it if he didn't know about it. Day by day, his guilt was increasing.

For the girl. For her mother.

He knew that and he was angry at himself for that as well.

Just because he was apathetic to others didn't mean that he wanted them to feel pain or experience suffering.

He was a weird person.

Days passed, the lady still came at the same time everyday.

Many things happened and soon two months passed until one day, everything changed due to a piece of news.

{This is Daily Planet. 16 more people have gone missing in the past week in the Central City and no one has a clue as to how they went missing. Flash and other heroes are still searching for the missing.}

{For the past months, more than 200 people have suddenly disappeared and the people are questioning the authorities. [zzszss] (weird noises)]

{Breaking news}

{Breaking news from our reporters, they have caught a live footage of the strange abduction of the people that is happening all over United States.}

{... Here is the footage and we can see some weird creatures suddenly coming out of the mirror and dragging an old man and his dog inside it.}

It was at this time that he realised, if that God didn't spare the owner after he died, would he really spare him, a person who massacred a whole civilization.

The person whom the whole universe was created as a punishment for.

The answer was as obvious as it could be.

*Chime*

The sound of the door bell awakened him from his thoughts.

He turned around and looked at the woman who looked lifeless.

From the moment he had come till now, she was the main reason why he still felt guilt and anger towards his actions on that day.

She came to ask the same question everyday, as if she wanted him to never forget the consequences of his inaction.

Her ragged face, to him, was like someone was rubbing salt on his old wounds.

He wanted her to go away. He wanted her to disappear from his sight but he couldn't bring himself to say anything to her.

He was tongue-tied by his own guilt and incompetence.

He wanted to tell her everything yet he stopped himself everytime.

For he knew, she would die the moment she knew about what happened to her daughter. He was right about her, she was too young, to immature and too brittle.

He knew that she would not be able to bear it.

On that day he looked at her disappearing silhouette and then towards the TV screen that was showing the mirror monster coming outside the mirror world.

At that moment, he decided that he wasn't going to do nothing because he knew that sooner or later he was going to become mad from his own feelings.

The God wasn't going to let him live freely.

He, in all consideration, was just a weak person who couldn't even control his future.

{Panel}

After nearly two months, he summoned the system panel once again.

{Messages}

All the messages from the God began to show in front of his eyes.

That day he will regret everything he did once again but his regret changed nothing, it just added to his misery as his guilt, anger and weakness.

He, on that day, found out just how the ants feel when they are being played with by little children.

Sorry for the late chapters, it was a conflict with the timer and the chapter didn't post.

This chapter is an apology for that.

Bye.
