The reason I decided to live is,
prolog,
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The sound of a heartbeat that would not have been strange if it had burst at any moment rang in my ears.
The stench of blood that had consumed my entire life stung my nostrils, and the crimson stains that stained everything indiscriminately. The liquid that had clouded my vision began to pour out mercilessly.

“Please… open your eyes, please…!!”
The girl, obsessed with revenge, lost everything: her precious family, her comrades, and the loyal younger siblings who stood by her side.
And even the humblest feelings that could not be conveyed.

“……I regret it, I shouldn’t have gotten involved in it in the first place.”

“You shouldn’t have come forward to seek revenge when you have nothing to lose……”
Don't rely on me, drunk on petty emotions.
“Are your eyes opening now?”
The luxurious shoes clacked against the concrete floor, making a crisp sound. The person who orchestrated all this was dressed so neatly that it was hard to believe.
채연주
“……”
He was the cause of this incident.
"Even now, throw away this cold corpse and come here to me. You are worth it."
A long, graceful hand, untouched by hardship, reached out before my eyes. The man before me was a devil. Otherwise, I couldn't smile here.

“Don’t be ridiculous!! If we were to die together, we would die, but never to a guy like you—.”
"ha-."
The girl's screams were muffled by the man's deep sigh. And then, bang! The breathing of her colleague, who was barely breathing, suddenly stopped.
채연주
“……!.”

“…You little shit,”
Tup —
He strode toward her with long legs and a large hand covered her mouth. Unlike his playful tone earlier, the man's voice became sharp.
"If you don't want to come in, don't come in. I'm not completely out of options."
It was then. A large, icy day, accompanied by a chill, touched my neck. And then, the man before my eyes, still holding the girl's mouth shut, narrowed his eyes.
"I know how to kill someone like you. I created you, so I'm afraid you'll never figure it out."
The man's eyes flicked between the girl and his subordinate, who was aiming for the girl's neck with an axe, before speaking.
“Before I kill you, I’ll say this because it’s unfair.”
“Could it be that I alone conducted such a tremendous experiment? I, who was barely an adult?
채연주
“……!!”
“Our Yeonju, surprisingly, has a naive side.”
The hand that had been covering her mouth gently stroked her hair. The gesture was deeply affectionate, but to the girl, it was merely a chilling display of territory, a pre-murderous act.
“Are you curious? Who is the real mastermind behind that experiment?”
“The real mastermind behind the experiment that created you—”
Click —
Pfft —!!!!
“That person is the one you believed in———”
“Ah… I’m not even finished yet, what if I break your neck?”
Rolling —
Rain poured down like a fountain. It seemed as if a red rain was falling from the sky. The man roughly wiped the blood from his face and glared at his subordinate. Traces of rebellion lingered on his clean face, blood spread.
"sorry."
“What… did you hear that and then leave?”
A small head rolled on the cold concrete floor, unable to even close its eyes. The girl had tried to listen to the man's words until the very last moment of her life. Her eyes, unable to close, were proof of that.
I opened my eyes. Seven years after that incident, I returned and started anew.

“That person has come.”
A towering building, and a vast expanse beneath my feet. It was the price I paid for letting go of all that had been driven solely by emotion. And now, with full strength, I'll never repeat the same mistakes again.
채연주
"……okay."
The girl who had died in fear was now a person who had become emotionally numb and terrified, and was no longer the foolish girl who only had a desire for revenge.
Now that we've come a long way, it's time to protect ourselves.
The woman picked up the jacket hanging on the terrace chair, put it on her body, and went outside.
채연주
“Soon, I’ll smell blood.”
차재현
"yes,"
