“Waaah... I don’t wanna be here...”
Crow had no idea what was going on as he found himself clutched in Creep’s arms, desperately trying to make sense of the situation. The sight of her throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child felt utterly alien to him.
His brain refused to function properly. He’d never anticipated a variable like this.
“H-Hold on... let go...”
“Nooo!!! I said nooo!”
As he struggled to pry himself free, Creep latched onto the hem of his pants with all her might, hanging on for dear life.
Her strength and abilities were still intact, sending Crow stumbling back down to the floor.
Scardi watched the scene for a moment before slowly approaching and speaking to him.
“Looks like she hit her head.”
“Yeah...”
“Could be a blessing in disguise. At least she won’t cause any more trouble.”
The two of them stared silently at the childlike Creep, each letting out a sigh in their own way. Though neither sigh carried much relief.
Unlike Scardi, who was now free from all threats, Crow suddenly had a new headache on his hands.
“Hey, could you let go first?”
“No way! You’ll just ditch me again!”
His mind and body were already frayed to the breaking point, and now he had to deal with his former arch-nemesis acting like a brat?
But unexpectedly,
Crow couldn’t tear his eyes away from Creep’s completely transformed state.
He seemed deeply affected.
Even as he still felt a twinge of fear at the thought of touching her, his gaze held an inexplicable mix of sorrow and empathy.
“Need a hand?”
Scardi asked. Crow didn’t answer right away, lost in thought for a long while.
Was this sniveling woman in his arms really the same Creep who had killed countless people?
She looked identical,
and her brute strength hadn’t diminished,
“...Nah, I’ve got it.”
Yet the tears she shed were so pure that they weighed heavily on Crow’s heart.
His weary mind, battered by everything he’d endured here, couldn’t bring itself to judge a villain harshly. Instead, it offered a measure of mercy.
The old Crow had commanded the undivided attention of villains with his unbreakable convictions and relentless fighting spirit.
Now, he spoke in a voice tired of the world, dispensing mercy and care.
“Hey, wanna hear me out?”
Crow cooed to her with fatigued eyes, then shifted tactics and tried a new approach.
“Let’s go together. That work? But no more fussing...”
“Okay!”
Was it pity for the Creep who had once desperately wanted a child,
or had he decided her old self was gone for good, prompting him to help?
Crow said nothing more and headed to the bathroom with Creep in tow.
She toddled after him, clutching tightly to his left sleeve.
“Lily...!”
Inside the bathroom, Lily and Duksoon were deep in conversation. The moment Crow spotted Lily’s injuries, his heart raced, and he rushed in.
“You okay? Hey...?”
“Ah, Oppa... I’m fine...”
Lily managed a faint smile. It was heartbreakingly sad, tearing at Crow’s chest.
“Who did this? Who...?”
Crow fired off questions to piece together what happened, but
“Eek! Eeeeeek!”
Duksoon’s hysterics right beside them cut their talk short.
“I-I’ve got nothing to do with them! Nothing! You rotten bastards! Y-Your big sis is here now, so you’re all dead meat!”
The second Duksoon spotted Creep trailing after Crow into the bathroom, she was consumed by PTSD, shrieking and groveling.
She’d suffered hell under Creep for the past four months just to survive. The mere thought brought those horrific memories flooding back.
“Honeyyy... this lady’s weird...”
“Huh...?”
But Creep had changed dramatically. She no longer remembered anyone around her.
The only one she responded to now was Crow.
Apparently, in solitary, all she could think about was the baby in her belly and Crow.
“Uh...”
Lily and Duksoon exchanged awkward glances. Duksoon, who had just boldly claimed to be on their side, couldn’t escape Lily’s piercing stare.
“E-Heh heh... uh, I-I’ll get going now...”
“...You helped Lily, right? Thanks.”
Instead, Crow offered kind words. Seeing they were both hurt, he must have realized Duksoon had mustered some courage to help Lily and gotten beaten for it.
“Really.”
The situation settled down somewhat.
Scardi was dealing with Creep’s remaining cronies belatedly,
and as Crow tried to lead Lily back to their room,
“Nooooo! Hic... I wanna come toooo!”
Creep clung to Crow, bawling like a child.
Lily wasn’t about to stand by and watch. She wasn’t the type to show mercy to a former villain.
“Oppa, shut the door quick. You know how much she tormented you?”
Lily wasn’t wrong. Especially after being assigned to Wing C, Creep had hounded him relentlessly...
“...”
Crow had every justification. He could kick her off and slam the door without a second thought.
“Sorry, but this is a two-person room.”
“Oppa, what’s there to be sorry about? Fine, I’ll close it.”
Despite Crow’s hesitation, Lily shoved Creep away with all her strength and shut the door.
Thud—
The door closed,
followed by persistent knocking.
“Honey! I don’t like it out here...! I’ll be good...”
Creep’s pitiful pleading tugged at Crow’s heart. But Lily remained unmoved.
“Oppa, ignore her. Rest a bit more before you go. And don’t lose to the correctional officers today.”
Her warm hand gently covered his eyes. They sat on the edge of the bed together for a while.
But the mumbling and sobbing from outside made it torture for Crow to just sit there.
Still, there was no helping it.
Lily was more precious.
He had to protect her.
“Hngh, hahhh... Fucking bastards. Written apologies? What the hell. I’m a correctional officer...!”
Pinned beneath Orca, enduring her relentless lust without mercy, Crow still couldn’t sort out his thoughts.
The one responsible for breaking Creep felt not a shred of guilt. She truly believed it was justice.
“Fine. Soon as I’m pregnant, I’m done. Raising our kid right is a greater justice than enforcing it in a shithole like this...!”
Did she even know what she was saying? Orca always justified her twisted sense of justice with her self-righteous beliefs.
“So take responsibility and fight properly...! Hnngh...”
Beneath her again today, Crow surrendered his body completely. His eyes had lost focus, his flesh steeped in pleasure, his mouth spilling only agonized moans.
“Haa... Redeeming an irredeemable villain like you... Giving our child the best abilities and raising them as a hero... That’s true justice, isn’t it...?”
He could no longer forget Orca’s firm, voluptuous body. More than that, the comfort and ecstasy of her feminine form felt like shackles binding him.
When Crow was held tight like this, feeling another’s body heat and arousal, he could finally forget everything.
Once it ended,
he’d be unable to escape the unbearable weakness and self-loathing.
His thoroughly broken body
sought refuge.
“Already reacting just thinking about the drugs? Ngh...? You’re such a hopeless pervert, Crow. The worst villain. It was always your fate.”
Maybe Orca was right.
Maybe he suited being a woman’s sex toy more than playing hero...
“Be grateful, villain... This is your second chance. A shot at washing away your sins and living...”
And so,
hiding away quietly somewhere,
scraping by day by day, raising a child—that might suit him after all.
“...”
He’d never fight again.
Not with a body pickled in drugs
and a shattered mind.
He’d never fight again.
“Sob, hic... Honeyyy... Th-Those people hit meee... I hate it here... Let’s leave, please...?”
Back in Wing C, the same thoughts plagued Crow.
Scraping by between Lily and Scardi,
endless violence from other inmates,
days where if it wasn’t him getting beaten, it was someone else.
“I miss Mommy... Mommy... Mommmy...”
Creep wailed for a mother she’d never been close to. Crow couldn’t leave her at the door.
“...Wanna come in?”
Without asking Scardi’s permission,
without consulting Lily,
“Bed’s kinda small, but it’ll be fine...”
Shivering from withdrawal, he took Creep’s hand and led her inside.
