Sharp tire sounds resonated as vehicles drove past the highway separating Bastion City from the Qing Clan land.
"HEY! Do you wish to die?" A driver wearing a green cap peeked his head out and screamed at the boy walking on the main highway. "Go to the pedestrian walkway."
The black cloth flapped on Leon's chest. He shifted his gaze slowly and focused on the driver's license plate: 'AA-510-B.E.'
The blade of the Hi-no-Kami clicked against the drift shield. Leon shook his head and shifted his gaze forward.
He smiled. A brown-haired little girl with amber eyes danced on the pedestrian side, holding her mother's arms. 'Lily.'
Leon's head snapped toward her. He tried to go and grab her, but a ghostly voice flashed in his head and forced him to stop.
"I'm waiting for you, Leon."
The little girl's mother looked at Leon with pure disgust. She pulled her child closer, acting as if Leon were a monster to be feared.
