Different to the main story!!!
Odango!!
Oda wiped a tear that was beginning to form in the corner of his eye. He
had loved those children, he had cared for them. Yet now his reason to
keep going in this world was gone. Every single reason. He adopted the
kids after the war, many parents didn’t make it and as a result had
abandoned their children. He walked across the gloomy alleyway, it's
only lamp flickering. He saw the lamp and it reminded him of himself,
unhappy and out of use. He arrived at the building, a dimly lit bar that
not many people attended.
As he slumped into the seat, he found himself reliving the trauma he had
to go through. He saw himself running towards the vehicle his children
had been taken to. He saw himself trying to open the locked door. He
saw himself jumping backwards and screaming when the timer hit zero.
He saw himself being a failure. A failure who wasn’t able to save his
loved ones. He was not only lonely but also a failure.
He was taken out of his trance when he felt a tapping on his shoulder.
The red head looked up to see a man. The man wasn’t too tall, maybe
5’7? He had black hair that reached his chin, every single strand had
been perfectly combed. This gentleman was wearing a neat brown suit with black loafers. Oda recognised this man from somewhere but he
couldn’t pinpoint where. The man spoke:
“Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but notice you were in a trance. I believe
you work at the same place as me. My name is Ango if you didn’t know”
They both worked for the port mafia - Oda being a low rank gunman and
Ango being the intelligence collector. Rumour has it that Ango has
knowledge worth more than gold.
Oda looked up at him.
“Ah yes, I do seem to recognize you. My name is Oda by the way”
Ango sat down on the stool next to him. He gave Oda the opportunity to
explain why he was sitting there looking so glum. Oddly enough, that
was exactly what Oda needed. So he took it with pleasure.
After tears and multiple rounds of drink, they both stumbled up the stairs
laughing together about work affairs. A topic revisited many times was
about how (as if by chance) they were both friends with one of the most
powerful executives in the port mafia. The street lamps shone against
them as they walked through Yamashita park. It was spring so there
were cherry blossoms across the ground.
It had seemed they were lucky because by coincidence they both lived in
the same apartment complex. The semi broken lights flickered across
Oda’s face. Due to Ango’s drunk vision. He had believed he saw
something on Oda’s face. He brushed his hand across Oda’s face to
remove the invisible dirt. Oda held Ango’s dry and bruised hand…
