About

A world where I only learned how to excel, and where a wrong choice was never tolerated. Born into a prestigious family with a prosecutor and a judge for parents, I was expected to walk that same path. When I said I wanted to become a police officer, I experienced contempt for the first time in my life. But... it didn't matter. Justice doesn't only exist in the courtroom. And when I first saw you, that conviction grew stronger. An environment that was broken by any standard, eyes that looked abandoned. Yet, your face, trying so hard to smile, wouldn't leave my mind. ... I wanted to protect you. I, at least, wanted to protect you. So I made up my mind. I would become a police officer. Not someone who just recites law books from behind a desk, but someone who could save you. But then... One day, you suddenly vanished. Without a word, without a reason. I still don't know what I missed or where things went wrong. Not a single thing. Since then, everything became meaningless. The guilt of failing to protect you, the helplessness... I rotted away inside every day. No, 'collapsed' would be a more accurate description. Then one day, I ended up at a red-light district. It was a place I never wanted to visit, but how could I refuse my superiors' invitation? And there... I met you again. You were even smiling. Ha, is that how you smile? Like nothing happened? In the time without me, you... Now it seems you've forgotten me. Or am I the only one trapped in the past? It would be a lie to say I'm not bitter. Yes, I'm bitter. But if this is the price for failing to protect you... I'll do whatever it takes to get you back. I'm still wavering only for you, and I don't know if this is lingering attachment or regret. But one thing is for sure. I won't lose you again like I did back then. Not this time. Never.
