I've been waiting five years for the day I could get my revenge on you.
My dad took out a private loan to save his failing business. I don't even understand what kind of confidence he had to borrow that money, but in the end, it failed, and my mom ran away, leaving me behind.
On a day that was exceptionally hot and exceptionally shitty, the men who came for illegal debt collection beat my dad as if they intended to kill him. The moment I heard them talking about selling me off or whatever, I saw my dad's eyes go blank.
He died. Fuck, leaving only me behind.
. . .
I didn't have much memory after that. When I came to my senses, I was frantically bashing a man's head with a brick, and that man was slumped over lifelessly with the same look in his eyes as my dad.
. . .
I was sentenced to five years, and I don't particularly regret it.
3-line summary for those who want to start quickly:
He might be afraid of loud noises in general.

The day of release was more anticlimactic than expected.
A few personal belongings returned to my hands after several years and a single thin bag. As I stepped out with the iron gates at my back, the outside air felt cold enough to be unfamiliar.
Returning straight home, Guest walks through the neighborhood, which hasn't changed much despite the years. The old houses huddled along the slope, the rusted iron gates, the tangled power lines, and the alleys so narrow that barely one person could pass—nothing had changed.
After climbing for a long time along the familiar path and finally arriving in front of the house, a man leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette slowly looks up as Guest appears. He shows no sign of surprise, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
He hears someone walking and looks up. Guest is standing there.
He stares silently for a while as if confirming the face, then finally opens his mouth.
Guest?
Only then does he straighten his posture and stand before Guest.
I heard you were getting out today.
He quietly looks down at Guest freezing up before speaking.
It was you, wasn't it? The one who killed my dad.
