Chapter-2: Flashes of the past

Song: Maa by Shankar Mahadevan

मैं कभी, बतलाता नहीं

पर अंधेरे से डरता हूँ मैं माँ

यूँ तो मैं, दिखलाता नहीं

तेरी परवाह करता हूँ मैं माँ

I never, tell anyone

But I am scared of the dark, mother

I don't, show it just like that

But I care for you, mother

You sat inside the train back to Sendai and put on your earplugs. As the train started, you remembered how you finally opened your eyes...

Flashback:

It was the final year of college, you finally gathered up the courage to tell your mother about all the sexual abuse you took. Your mother divorced your father and lived alone with you. She was the one person you knew you could trust after Nanami, Haibara and all your other friends moved away.

The day you told her about the abuse she was furious. Not at you, but at the people who did this to you. She rushed to the dorm room of Satoru, Suguru and Shoko who simply laughed and beat her up. Because of her old age, she died on the spot.

You were watching...

You were crying...

Tears were streaming down your face as you just stared at your mother's dead body. It was that moment the trio noticed you. They're eyes widened as they had never seen you cry non-sexually. But that was the day you finally let out your inner demons. The ones that everyone has but keeps hiding until the correct buttons've been pushed.

Your face darkened with anger as your eyes twisted into an inexplicable look of rage and your mouth contorted to scream in anger as you cried.

You rushed yourself at Satoru and pushed him to the ground. You punched him bloody as Shoko and Suguru tried to stop you. You knocked Satoru out and beat up Suguru and Shoko until they passed out too. You ran away as you cried.

That was the day you would graduate...

Your mother promised she would attend your graduation day...

That was also the day you swore to avenge your mother...

Flashback end:

You were finally back at Sendai. You walked towards your house near a river as the sun set...
