Dust slowly settled across the ruined luxury room. Pieces of shattered concrete continued to fall from the gaping hole in the ceiling, and the hotel's fire alarm screamed a deafening alert through the smoke.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb355dkCBtu
"Hanabi...." P said, looking genuinely surprised.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHFAKH5KFR
Everyone’s eyes instantly whipped over to Hanabi.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVYBdh5oQV
"P.... You actually exist!" Hanabi choked out, completely shocked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoJFmJqwLo
The surviving cultists and Jinho immediately turned their attention back to P, their weapons locking onto his chest.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoFAgtmIvJ
"Oh my God, I exist...? How...?" P muttered in wonder, looking down at his own hands and patting his body.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1yXY0emuR
"You know her?!" Jinho demanded, utterly confused and intensely curious as he aimed his pistol directly at P's head.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrXdLGXFN
"Yeah, I do know her. We had a brief meeting about two months ago, but that doesn't really matter right now," P said, casually waving his hands to the side. "Besides, I thought this skyscraper was an emergency parking lot. That's what the Google Maps on the plane said."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9idVMKpbe
He paused, looking over the wreckage. "But the good news is that I landed safe and sound, and no one is severely hurt or dead. That's all that really matters right now," P added, his tone entirely serious and considerate.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdh2VpSY9P
"You son of a bitch! Put your hands over your head!" shouted the guard to P's front left, slowly and cautiously advancing toward him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxuP70XB1r
But something felt incredibly wrong. Anyone in the room could have pulled the trigger right then, but they couldn't. Even Jinho felt it. It was an unnatural, crushing weight—as if their hands were physically being forced *not* to fire. An overpowering uneasiness made their muscles go stiff. A primal, familiar instinct screamed in their hearts:
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqaN7Hv84c
*Preys standing before a Predator.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRpYjJuqz
*Who the hell is this man? I can't feel a single thing from him. It's like he's completely empty... he has no soul!* Jinho thought in his subconscious, his eyes widening in pure terror. *Shoot him!* his mind screamed, but his hand refused to lift. He wanted nothing more than to pull the trigger, but his body wouldn't obey. *Dangerous,* Jinho realized, a cold sweat breaking out as the stiffness forced him to just stand there and watch.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P6P7QCxt2
*Why am I seeing this woman again?* P wondered in his subconscious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVel1MZQfx
Three guards were aiming their rifles at him, alongside Jinho. P's eyes darted across the room. He noticed the dark masks stamped with the demonic symbol on their foreheads. Then, his gaze trailed down to the floor near Hanabi, landing on the iron branding rod with the exact same demonic edge.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSVTDwHwZ
He looked at Hanabi’s face. He could see where they had attempted to burn her skin. Tears had completely washed away her makeup, leaving behind eyes that screamed desperately for help. The moment P locked eyes with her, his expression changed. He completely locked in. He turned his head slowly back to the guard who had ordered his hands up.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EIFlhVN1T
"So, who the hell are you?" Jinho forcefully demanded, trying to break through his own paralysis.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fCe50Rb4p
P just stared at him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KPwoXvLlY
"You heard my name from her, right? Good. So, I'm going to take my leave now, and I highly suggest you let the woman go. She looks tired," P said. He casually turned to walk toward the exit on his right, but the two remaining guards broke through their fear and blocked his path, raising their rifles.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkWAfWMtYg
*BADUM. BADUM. BADUM.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZPruia8MX
*CRACK!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXaBq7ZdKS
The guards violently forced their fingers against the triggers. Behind P, the first guard and a sweating Jinho moved in agonizing slow-motion, raising their weapons to fire. But before a single firing pin could strike—
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLmif2a3bN
"Hmph."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMj3Jy9tVk
P smiled.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeJ1j9lcxH
The guns roared, bullets tearing through the air in slow motion toward P. But P was already moving. He effortlessly slipped to his right, grabbing the closest guard's wrist with his left hand while wrapping his right arm tightly around the man's neck. He yanked the cultist forward, using him as a human shield. A hail of bullets slammed violently into the guard's back.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAlYbNTroo
With his free hand, P ripped the rifle straight out of his human shield's grasp and fired a lethal burst into the guard directly in front of him. Without pausing, he spun and unleashed another burst into the guard he had just walked away from, dropping him instantly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz76tf96r0
"Gaukkkk! Kauakkkk!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcmOE9EhXt
The guard pinned in P's elbow choked out a bloody gasp of pain. P didn't hesitate. With a sharp, brutal jerk of his arm, he snapped the man's neck.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqtp6gLyo
*This is too easy. Honestly, landing that plane safely was harder,* P thought to himself.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh3J1uc5fg
Only Jinho was left. P looked over at the table, but Jinho was gone. He quickly scanned the room and spotted him. Jinho had retreated, standing directly behind Hanabi’s chair with his gun pressed hard against her temple.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6QMSMPwR6
P took a few steps forward, casually dragging the dead guard's body along as a shield.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO10lnPbYP
*STEP. STEP. STEP.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr8UBfGkg5
"If you come any closer, I will blow her brains out!" Jinho screamed from across the room.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgwslaMiul
P immediately stopped walking.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVEaOGLAXT
"I'm warning you!" Jinho shouted, completely pressured and frantic. He grabbed the top of Hanabi's head, digging the barrel of the gun deeper into her skin.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr4u4HJegy
P gazed into Jinho’s eyes. They were trembling violently with fear and pure panic. He looked down at Hanabi. Her eyes were wide and stiff, staring at P before darting subtly to the wide-open exit door on the right, then back to him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4cGfmk1Pj
*Hmph. I know exactly how to handle a guy like him,* P thought.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwz7IZTnfN
"Why did you kidnap the girl in the first place?" P asked calmly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiIBCRJYWF
"It's none of your damn concern! You said you were leaving, right?! Do it! Get the fuck out of here!" Jinho shrieked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIosQVZ6hmK
"Sure, I guess." P turned to his right and began walking toward the exit, carrying the dead body in his right arm and the rifle in his left hand.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd2DNZ3sJz
*STEP. STEP. STEP.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8mavrnK7
Just before reaching the doorway, P stopped. He turned back around, facing Jinho and Hanabi.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dwhbEci3N
*Let's get started,* P smirked in his subconscious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfR855E7sb
"Wait a minute. Are you in a cult? Yes or no?" P asked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OvgIaqr5v
"It's none of your concern! What if I am?!" Jinho yelled.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0mglg2Gt
"Then you are a absolute fool. You have your own life at risk for nothing," P stated.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Y1VhPWPg
"Shut up and get out!" Jinho roared.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuYClgqqTv
"You look so goddamn lazy that you can't even work to get your own money. You've literally been a useless piece of entitlement your entire life," P said, his eyes locking onto Jinho with deadly seriousness.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHGTemF8WI
"I said shut up!" Jinho’s voice cracked angrily.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHMYnUPJIi
"An incapable bastard. A worthless piece of trash. A parasitic scum trying to play pretty boy," P said, his gaze turning mockingly cruel. "Nigga, you are trash. You are entirely meaningless."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO0KdUkIS7
"Shut up! Shut up!" Jinho screamed, his face flushing red.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK297UKQNY
"Your entire life has no purpose. No meaning. I bet your own parents regret the day you were born." P’s lips twisted into a wide, maniacal smile. "Hell yeah. I swear to God, your mother cursed the very day you slid out into this world."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4th7r62BE
Jinho’s eyes widened in sheer shock. P’s expression shifted into a terrifying, evil grin, completely piercing Jinho's psyche.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbXD8mXgUh
"I curse the day you were born! You are nothing but a disappointment!" P shouted, his maniacal smile growing wider.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnf2szRy1p
"Shut up...!!!" Jinho screamed, a wave of genuine, psychological pain hitting his voice.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tvddNGRz7
"That is why everyone looked down on you and laughed at you in your weakest moments! Because you were nothing! You were worthless! Hopeless! Useless! Garbage! An ugly piece of shit—the single greatest disappointment on the planet!" P roared, breaking into a loud, unhinged, maniacal laughter.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFxXwDicE9
"I said shut up!" Jinho shrieked, his hands shaking violently.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wLICD18vl
"You know what?" P looked straight into the depths of Jinho's trembling soul, his face locked in a terrifying, psychotic grin. "Thanks to your cult, you might have fame. You might have money, power, influence, and a pretty face. But one fundamental truth remains: even with all of it, you will always be absolutely nothing in this life. In the next one, and the next one after that, you will always be nothing. That hollow feeling will never leave you."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7NK5kC5oK
P laughed maniacally, his voice echoing off the concrete walls.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5UiM2hJs
"Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Jinho screamed at the top of his lungs.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszN3DAxTn5
Hanabi watched from the chair, completely paralyzed with shock. *Has he completely gone insane?!* she thought in horror.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilmVcQCEvl
"You're nothing! You're nothing! You're nothing! Nothing, nothing, nothing...!" P kept chanting, his laughter echoing evilly through the smoke.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWExJWhudzr
"That's enough! That's enough! THAT'S ENOUGH...!" Jinho lost his mind, violently shaking Hanabi's head.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yJ2IHE6HN
P kept his eyes locked on him, repeating the word over and over as he took a heavy step forward.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW0omwMbdD
*STEP.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsrBqEUAwY
"HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!" P laughed maniacally, stepping closer.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjLbuYx1Bi
*STEP.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoug1GuDzW
"You son of a bitch!" Jinho snapped. Completely broken, he yanked the gun away from Hanabi’s head and began raising his arm to shoot P.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KtDSbgPlq
But before Jinho could fully aim the weapon, P’s face instantly reverted. The terrifying, maniacal grin vanished, replaced by a calm, warm-hearted, incredibly beautiful smile. Moving at lightning speed, P hoisted his rifle and raised his dead-body shield faster than Jinho could track.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHzGJLK2fr
*BANG!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUnsAkeKkf
Jinho fired, but the bullet slammed uselessly into his own guard's dead corpse. Jinho desperately tried to lower his arm to aim again, but it was already too late. P looked back at him with a gentle, kind-hearted expression.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvPe3uUUtU
Suddenly, an upbeat, rhythmic music began playing through the hotel's damaged PA system into the room.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvboivzW51
Looking like the most angelic, wonderful person on the planet, P began shooting Jinho as nicely and peacefully as possible, walking forward in time with the beat.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRsy7Rdl6
*LALA LALA LALA LA...... LALA*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99C7awoJtn
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdRCLZDym

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgSoa14eH4
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlGAwzo76
The music continued to blare as the brutal impact of the bullets repeatedly slammed Jinho backward against the concrete wall.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqEgIpVHuD
*LALA LALA LALA LA...... LALA*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgPFCD0Nv8
*BANG!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWKvFYqpA
P tossed the heavy corpse out of his arms, letting it thud to the floor as he casually walked forward.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgTzmIwHv7
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BDThOQQWr
*LALA LALA LALA LA...... LALA*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoOnp3Lex3
P stepped right up to the left side of Hanabi’s chair just as the music abruptly cut out.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGsh0eB3JS
*RATATATATATATATATATATA!!!*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBxzdjmH3S
He emptied the rest of the magazine into the wall, dropped the smoking gun to the floor, and turned to look down at Hanabi.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFGrfgoQVW
"Hey.........." P said with a warm smile. He immediately bent down behind the chair and began unraveling the heavy metal chains locked around her wrists.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSw8OZ7S1l
"How have you been doing?" P asked while untying her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzyOKRuW2D
"Good... and you?" Hanabi asked, turning her head over her left shoulder to look back at him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJXcLSody
"Not great. I just lost an entire plane I bought from Temu," P muttered, grunting as he threw the chains aside.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmXK2nhcUx
The heavy restraints loosened, and Hanabi stood up freely, immediately rubbing her sore wrists. P walked around from behind the chair and stood directly in front of her. Hanabi glanced up at his chest. She wanted to throw her arms around him and give him a massive hug, but she stopped herself. Instead, she reached out and tapped his chest three times.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnFKF5eENb
"So, you really are real," Hanabi said, staring at his chest.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPrKGJ4g8H
"Yes, I am, ma'am. I didn't even know that myself until today," P said casually. They both stared at each other for a quiet moment, before quickly looking away.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIj4K4LQ0i
"Now quick, we have to get out of here!" Hanabi said, rushing over to the shattered glass window that overlooked the city skyline. She looked down, realizing the distance was incredibly steep. "Okay... do you have a plan?" She whipped her head back, only to see P already standing at the exit door, looking back at her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pg0y3YFCW
"What are you doing? We can't go through that way!" Hanabi called out.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQPQ25OfJ
"Why...?" P asked, calmly curious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOQ0JCwN8F
"Because the cult has a massive party right below us, and I'm basically their sacrifice food to be offered to Death! They're probably coming up here any second because of the noise!" Hanabi explained.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYyJOUMNvQ
"Death...? He's an asshole," P said nonchalantly, walking back toward her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakDf9QWQbx
"Well, whatever, just come over here!" Hanabi signaled frantically. "Wait, where are you going now?!" she asked, completely confused as P bypassed her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyxyxjg0Ty
P walked straight past the broken glass and climbed directly into the crashed plane's cabin.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHsCsgL9gc
"Found it! Oh, how I love Temu," P's excited voice echoed from inside the cockpit.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKdcZaCAv
Hanabi let out a heavy sigh. A moment later, P stepped out of the wreckage, walking toward her with a large parachute pack in his arms. Hanabi looked at it, a genuine smile breaking across her face.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfsGxP5Lc5
"It's just one, but it can hold both of us," P said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrj4PXm47l
"Okay," Hanabi nodded.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qZGK05cha
As she began adjusting the straps, heavy, frantic footsteps started echoing from the hallway outside. More cult guards were arriving.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJ6g83ztU
But when the armed guards violently burst into the room, they found absolutely no one. The room was entirely empty, save for Jinho’s bloody corpse slumped against the edge of the shattered skyscraper window, his hand stretched outward as if he had just tried to throw something.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoXQwsEjy1
High above the city, Hanabi and P had already leaped into the open air. The parachute deployed perfectly, and they floated gently down toward the distant parking lot. P was holding Hanabi tightly from behind.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYD8q1fsZc
"This is completely inappropriate!" Hanabi shouted against the wind.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopgimU2B7z
"Don't mind me, just stay focused," P replied.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxLlwCyXM
After a few tense moments, their boots hit the pavement of the parking lot. Disengaging from the parachute, they sprinted wildly toward her car.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYDEdSzg2
Hanabi rushed to the driver's side and yanked the door open. She turned around to call out to him, but P was lagging far behind. Heavy drops of blood were violently dripping onto the asphalt from behind his back.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOduchW1EX
A small, brutal survival axe was driven deeply into P's spine.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjmpmfNQQH
"P...!" Hanabi gasped, her heart dropping.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrADxqw5WZ
*STEP. STEP. STEP. STEP.*
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZB7QrT621
P's vision instantly began to blur and spin. He forced his legs to move forward slowly toward Hanabi, weakly stretching his right hand out toward her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcazDZeYPJw
"P...! P...!!!" Hanabi screamed, sprinting away from the car and rushing toward him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCKiJOGAEr
P's world began to violently darken. The very last thing he saw was Hanabi frantically running toward him, crying out his name. Before he could reach her, his legs gave out completely, and his consciousness plunged into pitch blackness.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlRc6Ckfoj
"P.........!!!" Hanabi screamed into the dark.
