Kuronagi returned to the apartment to see that many things were destroyed. Then, he saw 5 people who begun to steal appliances as they rushed towards him. Kuronagi quickly beheaded the five as his face paled. He quickly search for Marika if she was okay.

“Marika!!!”

Blood was rising from his head as he began to be worried about her.

(Please be okay…)

Kuronagi’s breathing became rough as he search the rooms.

“Mari-”

*Stab*

“…”

“Ku…ro…na….g…i…?”

Blood began to drip as he smiled at her.

“I…m…gl..a.d…”

Kuronagi fell down as a knife was stab in his heart. Marika paled as she hug him.

“No…”

“Its okay…”

Seeing Marika was fine made his heart warm. Blood began to ooze out as he started to cough up blood. Marika desperately tried to call the ambulance but was held by Kuronagi.

“Happy…birth…day…”

He handed her a box as she glance at him. But…

“Kuronagi…?”

A smiled appeared on his face as he already closed his eyes. Her eyes began to water as she held him…

1 month has passed since Kuronagi died. Marika held on to the box as she opened it. Inside the box were a pendant with a picture and a letter. When she saw the picture, her eyes began to water as it was Kuronagi and her when she took him to a arcade.

After a few minutes, she decided to open the letter.

[Dear Marika,

Happy birthday and i hope that we will have more time to spend together. Seeing the days we were together made my heart feel relax. Even though i am a cold blooded assassin, you were the only one who treated me as a child and it makes me a bit warm when you were there. But i just wanna say that…i love you.

Not as a some child's romantic feelings but as a man. You change me after you picked me up in the alley. I shoudn’t even be alive if it weren’t for you. I acted as a child to make you more relax around me.

You were the only one who was at my side. I was scared to tell you this but i will face you seriously and accept your answer.

I love you Marika and i will wait for your answer…

From, Kuronagi.]

As she reached the end, a single drop landed on the letter as she knelt down on the ground.

“Yes…yes…please…i…love you Kuronagi…”

Marika held the letter in her chest as the experiment was in love with her.
