The helicopter that had been filming the chaotic downtown returned to the rooftop.
The special anti-terror unit members who had been suppressing the villains from outside began entering the building to climb up to the prison rooftop.
The Association agents and heroes were ascending to assist Justice.
Crack-!
"Aaak...!"
Crow delivered bone-shattering kicks to the faces of Justice and Orca before precariously positioning himself on the rooftop railing.
In his arms was Lily, her neck twisted around, blinking in utter confusion and panic.
"Once a hero, Crow incited the internal villains to riot and successfully escaped. He vanished without a trace, becoming the most dangerous villain who could threaten the world at any moment."
The whole world would condemn Crow.
They wouldn't have the luxury to blame failures like Justice or Orca. After all, without them, there was no hero left who could capture Crow.
"So we have to catch him again, no matter what. Even if it means killing him, we must subdue Crow right away to make the world safer. Right?"
Crow felt an indescribable sadness.
He had only ever wanted
the world to be just a little kinder.
Now, and even before,
that single small wish was all he held.
"...I'm tired now."
Even as he spoke expressionlessly with his gloomy eyes, his words seemed laced with sorrow. His rain-soaked hair swayed in the wind from the helicopter.
"What is this? Why are we all even doing this?"
With that, Crow hugged Lily tight and threw himself off the rooftop. The three women left behind jumped in shock and rushed to the railing to peer below.
But Crow was already nowhere to be seen.
Only collapsed debris, dark shadows,
and heavy clouds filled the view.

Don't they just shoot on sight abroad? Why is our public authority so submissive to villains? Like the Cheonggyecheon terror before. Even if human rights matter, why treat them like kings?

Reading again, he took civilians hostage and threatened to escape. Really disillusioned. Creepy that such a guy was a hero, and disgusting how he's fooled everyone till now fr.

Real chills... Association support came and he's like 'oh shit' then takes nearby civilians hostage and threatens??? How do you even think of that??? What's wrong with that gender.
Citizens voiced their unease. No breaking news updates on Crow and the villains' whereabouts.
This meant Crow had successfully evaded public authorities and the Hero Association's eyes.
Yet everyone continued their daily lives, thanks undoubtedly to their faith in Justice and the Association.
Schools and offices,
public transport and neighborhood eateries,
none took a day off or paused to watch developments. It was much like hearing some criminal fled after a crime—someone else's problem.
Instead, as lunchtime hit, Crow's name buzzed on people's lips.
Or prison breakouts, Justice, government incompetence—they gossiped endlessly while enjoying their breaks as usual.
Hunt for nearby eats,
grab a cold brew from a chain cafe, head back to the office.
They had no doubt it wasn't their job to recapture Crow. Justice, police, or military would handle it soon enough.
This was just a fleeting event. A week's worth of chit-chat before it faded.
No—a notorious figure's horrific tragedy? At least a month on tongues.
Perhaps they were witnessing history. Though few realized it.
To them, it was just
another ordinary day.
An ordinary day,
an ordinary alley,
an ordinary familiar street.
"O, paa..."
On an unremarkable street,
in a nondescript alley,
the most extraordinary man and woman walked, drenched in rain, utterly naturally.
To passing citizens, they looked like a couple caught umbrella-less, hurrying along.
The man draped his shirt over her to shield her more from the rain.
But up close,
Crow had twisted Lily's already 162-degree bent neck another 198 degrees back to normal.
Her neck dangled like a rag, but no need to dwell. Just know Lily couldn't fix it herself and awaited Crow's word.
"M-My, n-neck at least..."
Lily urgently called to Crow, still breathing with her head turned.
Yet Crow quickened his pace toward his hideout. Places unknown to the Association or Justice—his alone.
He'd prepared many such spots from frequent pursuits. So even on the run, no panic.
One deserted commercial building had a semi-basement. Crow rushed in, checked for tails, then shed his disguise.
"Hoo..."
Crack crack-
"Ehek- Kek..."
He promptly twisted Lily's neck back to original. Grabbing the floppy thing, she tearfully looked up at him.
"Heal it yourself."
Only after his gruff permission did Lily restore her neck.
"Oppa, Oppa..."
She clung to him with her jade-smooth voice again. The shock of her first real hit from him must've been huge.
"It was really for you, Oppa...! Yeah, things went worse than expected, but I just wanted us to live happier...! Sniff, uek..."
Crow ignored her, heading to his basement stash for gear and tools.
Ironically, tape and knuckles included. Useless in fights, but perfect for Lily's lesson now.
"S-Sorry...! Oppa, you're mad now, but calm down and think again..."
"Ah, I get it now."
Lily still pleaded with girlish tears and ambiguous smile,
but Crow ascended stone-faced with his items, voicing his realization.
"Lily, you wanted me begging you like this. One flick and you erase addictions, wipe disgusting memories."
His trembling hand neatly tore the tape. Riiip- Crow's sharp face faintly reflected.
"N-No... Not that. Really. How could I dare to you... Just so you wouldn't play Justice's game more..."
Lily gazed at the lovable yet terrifying man, struggling to speak.
"Wait...! Oppa! It's me, Lily. Your Lily! Lily, see...!"
Crow had never truly laid hands on Lily before,
but today he unleashed cold hatred and rage, binding her hands and feet.
Soundproofed well,
no issues.
He'd raised her wrong, so time to set her straight.
