It isn't too late to quit now is it?

Shinso touched his hair, feeling the cold substance that the man had poured as the brown liquid oozed down from his forehead.

"Pffffft! Look at the dude. Not even a single bit of surprise. Oh god! I swear this brainwashing fucker is something else. Just look at those dead eyes." A taller guy said, high-fiving a man with 2 horns, the same one that poured the brown drink on him.

Only offering the two a glare, Shinso stood up as he clenched his hand tightly.

He felt so angry.

Angry that he couldn't protect himself.

Angry that he just let himself get humiliated like this.

"Look at him. Is he mute or something?" The man with two horns spoke mockingly.

Fuck this he needed to get away from here.

He looked away from the 2 men in front of him and walked away, too tired, hungry and angry to make sense of his emotions.

He honestly felt like if he closed his eyes for a few minutes he could fall asleep, something he desperately needed before going back to the orphanage.

"Hey where are you going stray? ARE YOU GOING TO FIND ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON TO MURDER!?" The taller screamed loudly, attracting the attention of everyone else who was nearby.

Fuck.

Shinso froze, not knowing what to do. He felt tiny in their stares and his neck crawled at the sound of the 2 from earlier chuckling at his fear.

Was he really this pathetic that his life was a movie for them to just watch?

He lowered his head and clenched his trembling fists, trying to will himself to calm down but Shinso felt his heart beat only accelerate as the mumbles from the crowd of people who had noticed him started growing louder and louder.

He wanted to yell at them, scream until his throat couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to run, far away where no one recognized him and he wasn't labeled as a bad person.

But he can't move or talk. His paralyzed and he wasn't sure how he should react to everyone.

His breathing became much louder and faster as he felt himself being suffocated, the same way the muzzle made him feel. The same way he would be chocked until his eyelids barely opened as he coughed and begged through tears to just stop and leave him alone-

"I have been looking for you." A calm, soothing voice interrupted Shinso's train of thoughts.

He peeked behind him to see a taller black haired male reaching his hand out towards him, trying to touch his shoulder but Shinso flinched, stumbling back from him.

A flash of surprise was seen in Eraserhead's eyes as he noticed the brown liquid oozing down his face before he gave an acknowledging nod and turned around to glare at the two men.

Shinso didn't know why he felt somewhat relieved with his presence.

Eraserhead seemed unnerved by the people around them and started talking to the 2 men.

"I can charge both of you anywhere between 1,000 to 5,000 yen for public harassment and assault you know." Eraserhead said, his posture slouched but his voice serious.

"Who the fuck are you? Little stray can't do anything on his own that he needs a bodyguard?" The man with two horns asked, feigning confidence as he took a step forward. His friend pulled him back though, whispering something Shinso couldn't hear before his fake confidence turned to real terror.
