> The DNA storage he worked on…
it was being used for other purposes.
> So he went in, destroyed the algorithm, and ran.
> He left me and Mom alone.
> Mom was furious.
She contacted him, left me home, and went to another kingdom.
> Then she divorced him.
> I cried for hours.
> Dad didn't want to get caught and die, so he ran.
> Mom was done. She divorced him and left me home — alone.
> When I thought a monster would come kill me…
and my own mind was eating me up… Dad came.
> He hugged me. We cried.
> He said, "I won't leave you again."
> I asked, "What about Mama?"
He said, "I won't leave her either. I'll get her back. Don't worry."
He kissed my forehead, patted me.
> Then he walked toward the door to close it — and got shot.
> Something passed through him and exploded in smoke.
> I fainted.
> When I woke up, Mom was there… with another man.
> I could read Mom like an open book.
She said, "I don't know him."
> I thought she was talking about something else.
But no — she was denying that I was her son.
> I cried.
> I lost my father, and my mother pretended I didn't exist.
She wanted her new life with that man.
She destroyed mine.
> I naturally lost my memories.
> I lived a sh*t life.
> I got bullied.
> I got taken in by an old man who eventually died.
> Then the new family began bullying me.
> The mother told me, "Get out. You're useless — just like the old man."
> I went through trauma.
> Then one day, I found a box with my name on it.
> My memories began flashing back.
> I opened it. It was the hologram PC.
> I played a music file — and without knowing, I started singing along.
> I checked files… watched videos… and my memories returned.
> I cried. "How could I forget you, Father?"
> I visited his grave. I cried there too.
> Oh… sorry. I'm actually crying while telling you this."
I said:
"You're strong, kid. Hey… don't cry. Your father is proud of you now.
You didn't suicide.
You didn't throw yourself to rock bottom.
You even participated in the Suzuki auction.
That shows you didn't lose hope yet."
Junpei
"Yeah… well… I guess he is."
I said:
"So… your hero is definitely your father.
Then who's your villain?"
Junpei
"Maybe… Mom.
She could have at least dropped me somewhere near Dad — but outside the city.
But she didn't.
She only thought about her new life.
She destroyed mine.
Maybe even the ones who killed Dad.
I already know who they are."
I said:
"If you want, we could go kill them all."
He laughed.
"Yeah, well… we can kill them. But for now, let's wait until I get strong enough.
It's my personal revenge."
—he wiped his face, especially his eyes.
I said:
"Suit yourself. It's all your decision.
By the way… are you able to get the DNA storage information?"
Junpei
"I must be able to."
I said:
"That settles it then.
We're either gonna destroy it… or own it. It's your choice."
Junpei
"Well, that's not the point. I mean, if we can… I wish to destroy it completely. I will agree."
I said:
"Then we'll kill everyone connected to it — every last one of them.
So this DNA storage will only be history on the face of mankind.
What do you say?"
Junpei
"Yeah… and I'm the one who's gonna do it."
—he smiled.
He was killed by a shot from somewhere, and the thing that passed through him exploded into smoke.
I didn't know what to do… so I fainted.
Then I woke up… and saw mom with another guy standing in front of me.
I can read mom like an open book.
She said, "I don't know him." I thought she was talking about something else…
But she was denying I was her son.
I was hurt by it. My eyes began to cry.
I lost my father, and my mother swore she didn't know me—just so she could continue to be her new guy's fiancée.
Then I naturally lost my memories…
And lived a shit life… getting bullied and being a scared little kid.
I was thrown to a family who could take care of me.
Actually, an old man came and took me in. But at some point… he died.
Then the family began to bully me. They even said things like:
> "What are you waiting for? Get out!"
Especially the mother. She said:
> "Get out! You're useless just like that old man!"
I was experiencing trauma… and one day I found a box with my name on it.
Memories began to flash in my head. I was so confused about it.
I felt like I used it before… but didn't know how.
Then I opened it…
It was a hologram PC.
A PC that's made entirely of light.
I played a song on it. The music echoed…
And without me knowing it, I began singing along.
Then I checked the files… and saw videos…
And then my memories, one by one, began to come back to me.
I cried and cried, saying:
> "How could I forget you, father?"
I visited his grave…
And I cried a lot there.

Junpei:
Ohh… sorry. I'm actually crying while telling you…
Me:
You're strong, kid, bro.
Hey, don't cry. Your father is proud of you now.
You didn't suicide or throw yourself to rock bottom.
You even participated in the Suzuki Auction.
That shows that you didn't lose hope yet.
Junpei:
Yeah… well, I guess he is.
Me:
So huh… who is your villain?
Your hero is definitely your father.
Junpei:
My villain… maybe mom.
I don't know… like she could have at least taken me with her and dropped me somewhere close to dad, but outside the city.
But she wasn't thinking about it like that. She was just thinking about her new life—and she destroyed mine.
Maybe even the ones who killed dad… I already know who they are.
Me:
If you want… we could go kill them all.
Junpei (laughing):
Yeah… well, we can kill them. But for now, let's wait until I get strong enough to do it. It's my personal revenge.
