Anything can happen in Vale at night. Starting from rape and murder, ending with a simple robbery.

A boy ran along the road, but he had two dog ears on his head. He was running, clinging to life and to his hand.

- You can't leave, you freak.- shouted a plump man, most likely drunk.- I'll catch you up anyway.

-"It was all in vain..." were the boy's thoughts.

- I got... - he was interrupted by the music that suddenly started playing.The man turned around, but saw no one.

- You know, people like you should take more care of themselves.-A low and gruff voice rang out from the darkness.- After all, human life is very short.- the man was pinned against the wall.

Now, for sure, you can see this person. A young man of 15-16 years old in a coat and with a mask on his face. The hair was black, but if you add light, you can see a purple tint at the tips. He had a pair of sheathed gloves on his hands. But the scariest detail was the eyes ... red, predatory, cold, that looked into the soul, and the music only inflamed the atmosphere.

- "Go on"-a voice rang in the young man's head-"don't get the schythe et. It's unnecessary."

- abuse fauns and sell people...How low~.The man clenched his teeth and fell to the floor.

If the young man had not been wearing a mask, then one would have seen a smirk.

- "No one can stop the virus until its center is alive" -the young man squatted down and grabbed the man by the head. - You, enslave the weak and innocent, for the sake of your desires. As it was once written:"as long as you give them political power, you also give them hypocrisy," right?- he hit his face on the asphalt, after which there was a bloodstain.

The little fawn watched this curled up.

- You know, they say that I "can talk people to death." They ask, "your weapon is a conversation," they say. "I don't know," I answer, "it sounds a little pretentious"-he leaned closer to him-"maybe," they say, "But you can change the timbre of your voice so that it coincides with the heartbeat and the flow of the interlocutor's aura." "Yes," I say, "there is such a thing." "And then..." he trailed off-"...gradually lowering his voice," they say, "you can make the heart stop."- another impact on the asphalt. The man was in a terrible state. Almost, the skull was visible.- That's what they say. And you? What do you say?- there was silence, only the sound of rain dispersed it.

Then, he turned to the boy.
- Come on.-He nodded towards the exit of the alley.

- "not bad. Finally, you've learned Lord Megatron's quotes," the voice rang in his head again
- "you can't learn it with you, librarian damn it ." - the young man snapped, simultaneously leading the boy to the nearest hospital or orphanage.Through his gloves, he could feel the faunus trembling. Yes... he shouldn't have done that.- Hush, I'm not biting. I bite only bad peoples.He took a lollipop out of his coat pocket.

There was a knock on the door at the shelter. The young man was waiting for someone to come out to him. He had a warm relationship with the teacher. After all, she helped deliver his mother. Young man and faunus didn't have to wait long. The door was opened by a woman with black hair and red eyes. She was wearing a white medical gown and had a mole on her chin.(Natasha from Honkai:Star rail)

-Ray... -she looked at the young man with excitement.

- Help him, you know how I communicate with children.-He turned around and left.

-Ray...-but person wasn't here.
