Guilt:

The old lady bring ryuusei to her house. The house was on the second floor, it was a small house mainly for two peoples. They enter the house, the house was simple but it was Ryuusei's first time seeing a normal house, with a little dining place, a little kitchen, a small tv lounge, everything was very clean. She took ryuusei to one of the rooms. That room was empty and there was only one bed there. She asked ryuusei to get on the bed, whe sits right besides him because there was no chair there. Ryuusei was quite, many thoughts were going on in his mind. Seeing ryuusei like that, the old lady didn't say much. But she couldn't hold her self from talking. It was like she found someone after a long to talk to. But Ryuusei didn't answer anything of her's questions , it was like he is in a state of coma but he is awake at the same time. After a while Ryuusei saw the old lady holding a plate of food he was so lost in thought that he didn't realize when she left. She brings the table and puts the food on it and ask ryuusei to eat. At first ryuusei was just staring at the food, he was very hungry, he didn't eat anything all day. But at the same time he was hesitant to eat the food. The old lady grabs the spoon and started feeding ryuusei. Ryuusei first looked at the old lady. But seeing her smile he took the bite. At the same time tears started running down his face. Seeing her face like that reminded ryuusei, Arashi. Both of them didn't say a thing during eating. After ryuusei finished the food, he felt super sleepy and his eyes started closing on his own, but he didn't wanted to sleep. But fell asleep anyways. The old lady holds the child and puts him on the bed, making him sleep comfortably.

It was the next morning, ryuusei wakes up and looks around, the room was more lively then before, it has many things now, like curtains, a table and a chair, a little closet. But Ryuusei paid no mind to that, he realizes what is going on, what he has done.

Ryuusei: ..... What to I do ?.... Should I go back?.... Why did I ran away ? .....Will chief is going to die because of me?....What will Chiyo and Yui will say??.....

Ryuusei had that guilt , that what he has done might not be a good thing. But at the same time he was scared of going back, he didn't wanted to see Arashi die because of him and everyone else blaming him. At the same time he heard a knock on the door, the doors opened.

Old lady: Ah...your awake... I didn't wake you up, did I?...

Ryuusei just shakes his head.

Old lady: you should go and shower first, I also prepared some clothes for you after that we can have a breakfast.

She said it in excitingly. Ryuusei had the sad expression on his face but still listened to her. She showed ryuusei the way to bathroom. In reality the old lady was happy that there is someone that she can take care of and is with her.

Ryuusei took a shower , puts on new clothes, which were literally new. Goes out to the dinning table.

Old lady sees ryuusei.

Old lady: Welcome back, I made breakfast for us.... I don't know what to like but next time we can make your's favorite.... Come, sit....

Ryuusei sits down in front of her. He didn't have any favorite food or something like that because in the temple everyone used to eat the same things again and again, so he didn't know many meals. But what he saw on the plate was something that he has never tried before. Sitting and eating with someone other than people he knew was something new for ryuusei, he remembered himself eating with other temple students which made him more sad but he somehow managed to eat everything. The old lady on the other side was just looking at ryuusei with a big smile on her face.

In first few days she didn't ask or said anything to ryuusei but after a week or so when ryuusei became more adjusted to the new place, she one day then asked him about himself. Who he was , where did he came from or did someone left him. At first ryuusei didn't wanted to say anything but he actually was very comfortable with her being around him, always taking care of him, and even asking him to call her grandma, if he wanted to. Ryuusei hesitated at first but then told her everything from the very beginning. While telling her the story he started crying at the same time. Hearing ryuusei, her eyes also became teary. She quickly hugged him and Ryuusei started crying more.

Ryuusei: I can't even remember the face of my Mom and sister.... I can't even remember there voices anymore.....

Ryuusei cried more and more saying this.

Old lady: God curses those who did these horrible things to you.... Don't you worry, we are going to make them pay....okay?... Don't you worry...

Hearing some comforting words from her ryuusei hugs her more tightly.
