Chapter-161

"Sin was so angry after seeing the memory he couldn't help but act out of instinct." This sentence encapsulated the immediate and visceral response that overcame Sin. His anger wasn't just a fleeting emotion; it was a force that demanded expression. The memory had struck a nerve, awakening a primal instinct to confront what had transpired.

Yet, in the midst of this emotional turmoil, Sin's rational mind still operated in the background. It was a mind well-versed in the rules of the world they inhabited a world where conventional laws and authorities held little sway. Here, the concept of taking the law into one's own hands was not met with the same condemnation as it might be in more civilized societies.

"In this world, no police will accuse you by saying that you cannot take the law into your own hands." This realization underscored the stark reality of their existence. There were no law enforcement agencies or judicial systems to enforce order or dispense justice. Survival often hinged on an individual's ability to make swift and decisive judgments and to act as judge and executioner when necessary.

"In this world, if you are logical, then it's okay to pass judgment." These words were a reflection of the world's harsh pragmatism. In a place where danger lurked around every corner, logic often took precedence over morality. It was a world where actions were measured by their utility and necessity rather than their adherence to ethical principles.

Sin's execution of his actions, driven by anger and instinct, was a manifestation of these rules that governed their world. It was an unconscious response, shaped by the harsh realities of their environment. In that moment, he became the embodiment of a judgment and self-justice mindset, unburdened by the constraints of conventional morality.

The consequences of Sin's actions, however, would linger. As the dust settled and the echoes of his anger subsided, he would need to confront the moral implications of his choices. The memory that had triggered his rage might have provided a justification in his mind, but it also raised questions about the blurred lines between vengeance and justice in their world.

As Sin stood there, his chest heaving with the remnants of anger, he knew that their journey was fraught with complexities and moral dilemmas. The rules of their world, though pragmatic, could lead down a dark and treacherous path. It was a path where judgments were swift, consequences were severe, and the boundaries between right and wrong were often indistinct. Sin's actions were a stark reminder of the harsh reality they faced daily, a reality that demanded a constant reckoning with the choices they made in the name of survival.

After the tempestuous storm of anger and instinct had passed, Sin gradually managed to regain control of himself. His breathing steadied, and the turmoil within him began to subside. It was a testament to his inner strength and resilience, honed by years of navigating the perilous landscape of their world. With newfound composure, he surveyed around him, taking stock of his companions.

First, his gaze fell upon Fatty Jack, whose expression was a mixture of curiosity and confusion. Sin's anger had undoubtedly taken him by surprise, but Fatty understood that their world was unpredictable, and emotions could flare without warning.

Next, Sin's eyes settled on Sia, who had also weathered the storm of his anger. Sia's features bore traces of her own emotional turmoil, a reflection of the intense moment they had just experienced. She met Sin's gaze with a mixture of understanding and apprehension, uncertain of what lay ahead.

Lastly, Sin's attention turned to Julia, the calm and mature voice of reason within their group. Julia's composed demeanor had been a source of reassurance for the others, a steady presence in times of turmoil. It was to her that Sin felt compelled to address his thoughts, to seek solace and counsel.

Sin told her after calming down himself "Let's go in one corner to talk." Sin's request was a testament to the trust he placed in Julia. He recognized that what he needed to share was not something to be discussed openly with the others present. It was a moment of vulnerability, a confession of emotions and thoughts that he could only entrust to Julia at this point.

Julia, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded in agreement. Her response was a silent affirmation. She turned to Sia and conveyed her assurance, signaling that they should rest assured and allow Sin the space he required.

Sia, though still grappling with the aftermath of Sin's anger, found solace in Julia's reassuring gesture. It was a reminder that they were a team, bound by trust and mutual support. In this unforgiving world, they had become each other's lifelines, and Julia's unspoken message conveyed that their unity remained unshaken.

As Sin and Julia retreated to a corner of the scene, the others watched with a mixture of curiosity and respect the privacy.

In that secluded corner, Sin began to unburden himself, sharing the thoughts and emotions that had driven him to the brink of anger earlier. Julia listened with empathy and understanding, providing a safe haven for Sin to articulate his inner turmoil. It was a moment of vulnerability and connection, a testament to the strength of their camaraderie in a world where trust was a rare and precious commodity.

As the conversation between Sin and Julia unfolded, it served as a reminder that in the face of the harsh realities they encountered, their bond remained unbreakable. It was a bond built on trust, resilience and the unwavering support of friends who had become family in a world where survival often depended on the strength of those connections.

As Sin and Julia withdrew from the group, their footsteps echoing softly in the stillness of the grassy surface, a sense of privacy settled around them. Sin, aware of the significance of their isolation, began to share the details of his unique ability—his Sharingan's memory-reading capability. He told her, it was a power he had honed through rigorous training and had kept hidden from the prying eyes of the world.
