Chapter 251: Piece
Anzai gasp awake like he was drowning, he look around the dim room in a panic. ’A dream?’ he thought puzzled, it felt like a dream but it wasn’t, it felt so real, yes it was a mory from 3 years ago after the chemical plant exploded when he awoke in destruction and then saw his wife turned, he had no choice but to pull the trigger and kill her... but that was it right? But how co he saw himself wounded by her.
He felt his chest that had no claw mark, he didn’t have any mory of being wounded, the only mory he had was shooting his wife because he had no choice and then making a run for it, that was it, what was this mory he had or more a dream he had.
He held his head, sothing wasn’t right here, he had this gut feeling that what he dread happened, he couldn’t explain it, did it really happen?
And that voice, that voice? His eyes trembled.
’I can only save you once... I don’t have much ti...’
He froze at the sudden voice in his head as his eyes went wide, it was the sa voice he heard.
’So please don’t die... Hiro needs you’
His body ran cold, he felt his chest, his heart slamd a loud heartbeat, maybe he was injured maybe he did co back to life with the help of this mysterious person, but how co he had to the mory of it until now.
He growled when a sharp pain found his head, he held it closing his eyes, and then like a mirage and image of a girl flashed within of a girl in a tube with long brown hair, her face covered by sothing.
He flashed his eyes open, gasping, his eyes trembling, that girl... she looked familiar.

One Week Later
Ten digs in his food like he hadn’t eaten for days, Haya just watch him in awe as he did, but then she smiled.
’Ten’ she thought with shaky eyes, he was finally eating, and she was glad.
"Thanks for bringing
more food, Haya-chan," he said with a mouth full of rice.
She barely read his lips in that state but she knew he was thanking her.
"Mm," she just made a sound with a nod.
Ten grinned.
The doors slide open as Shino walked in.
"Now now Ten, you know we’re short of food ever since the outbreak," Shino said.
"Commander Shino," Ten said with ani tears.
"Alright alright, I will let you be since you’re still recovering"
Ten grinned.
"So how’s your body?"
"I’m good, getting my strength back," Ten said.
Shino nod.
"I thought Hiro was here, I didn’t see him in his room"
"Oh he’s probably with Yuki, she’s still down, Dr. Touka said it might be the hit she took to the head due to the rubbles she was buried under" Ten explained.
Shino’s eyes saddened.
"I see"

Yuki was asleep on the bed, the covers against her, she stirred awake as her eyes slowly opened and found Hiro seated beside her, his blind gaze on the floor.
"You don’t have to watch , you’re still recovering yourself"
"It’s okay, I’m all healed up," he said not turning to her.
"Hiro?" Yuki said, his voice sounding down and distant.
"Are you okay?"
His blind eyes tremor.
"Do you think that Kenta found redemption when he died?"
Her eyes narrowed at his words.
"At that mont, he was crying and yet a smile against his lips" he turned to her.
"Do you think he died in peace?"
"Maybe," she said firmly.
"Maybe he did, he may have done cruel things because he thought it was right, but deep down he may have just done it because he was alone and scared with just a voice in his head that he thought gave him redemption"
Hiro looked away, his fist clenched hard.
"The Queen Kaiju has to go down," he said sternly.
"We can’t let her have her way!"
***
"Kenta spoke about the Queen Kaiju like she was more than an intelligent beast," Ten said sternly.
"What do you an Ten?" Shino asked, he was seated in front of the bed, on a chair.
Haya’s eyes were fixed on Ten as she watch intensively.
"Like the Queen Kaiju and her army were like a different race of species," Ten said adjusting his glasses.
"He said sothing about our bodies being a host for the predators... It makes
think about the Sp-virus
