Daigo's eyes widened in disbelief, as every member of the red evil gang stopped laughing.
A deep silence settled over the scene as Ruby and Rurina gazed at the figure with eyes widened in astonishment.
The bat was stopped in mid-swing by a hand wrapped in a crepe bandage, revealing Hamlyn Hasegawa standing tall.
His presence drew all eyes to him, instantly bringing an end to the chaos.
Hamlyn let go of the bat and walks towards Sheryl, walking past Daigo completely ignoring his presence.
As he knelt before her, Hamlyn and Sheryl locked eyes, a silent communication flowing between them.
With gentle hands, Hamlyn brushed her hair back from her face, cupping her cheeks tenderly. Sheryl's tear-filled eyes met his. With blood staining her lips, Hamlyn then brushes Sheryl's blood with his thumb, spreading it across his palm and clenching it into a fist.
