Scaramouche

"... For me. Being a criminal isn't fun for everyone."

"I wouldn't label myself as a criminal, more like... A person who commits crimes for their own good."

"Wouldn't you agree with me?"

Boy

"I... Don't know what you mean."

Scaramouche sighed and came closer to the boy, sitting on the grass. The boy did the same thing. They were resting on the grass, facing each other.

Scaramouche

"I don't have much mora. But, nobody seems to give me mora since they want to keep it for themselves, right?"

Boy

"I can give you mora!"

Scaramouche chuckled softly.

Scaramouche

"That's not what I meant, kid."

"I didn't choose to be like this, the decisions and actions of others made me like this."

"Does it make sense now?"

Boy

"So... They're the bad guys."

Scaramouche

"Exactly! It's crazy how a kid like you understands better than full-grown adults. You're special."

Boy

"You think so?!"

Scaramouche

"Yes."

Boy

"We are friends now. Let's play ball!"

Scaramouche

*Sigh* "I don't see why not."

You smiled as you saw Scaramouche playfully compete with the boy.

Scaramouche

"That was a good throw!"

They bounced the ball back and forth, never dropping it once. It got to the point where Scaramouche couldn't catch the ball anymore, and it landed by your foot this time. When Scaramouche turned around to go retrieve it, he noticed you with your mask on to conceal your identity and froze, his smile immediately disappearing.

You

"That was quite a show."

Scaramouche

"Wh- How long have you been there?! You didn't see a fucking thing!"

You

"Heehee, I saw everything."

Boy

"Sir, who is that?"

Scaramouche
