"Oppa."
It felt like something from a few years ago.
Crow was holding Lily's hand, enjoying a rare moment of leisure at a neighborhood café.
"Why do you let them live?"
In that peaceful place,
Lily posed a question that was anything but peaceful.
"Think about it. Even today, you sometimes shoot them in the thigh or the side instead of the head or forehead. Wouldn't it be better to just kill them right there?"
Crow paused mid-sip of his warm café latte and looked at Lily in surprise.
His eyes held a mix of pity and fear toward the still-young girl.
He seemed deeply worried that if he said the wrong thing, she might take it the wrong way.
"This doesn't seem like something to talk about here..."
"It's fine. No one even knows who we are anyway."
Lily's fingers waved gracefully, distorting the perceptions of those around them. In the bustling café interior, not a single person recognized the famous duo of Crow and Lily.
"I want to hear what Oppa thinks."
Lily would occasionally throw out questions like this.
And Crow would take several sips of his coffee, carefully organizing his thoughts before giving a sincere answer.
"Hmm, well."
But for this particular question, Crow had to deliberate longer than usual.
He did his best to articulate his own hard-to-explain values and beliefs.
"Personally, I think leaving someone who committed a crime alive is more agonizing for them. Death ends it. If there's an afterlife, they'll go to hell. But..."
A bit of white foam clung to the corner of Crow's mouth. Lily naturally wiped it away with her thumb, her drowsy eyes gazing at him with utter infatuation.
"The sins committed here should be atoned for here. That's what justice means to me. If even good, honest people struggle to get their due rewards, then at least sinners should face punishment fitting their crimes, don't you think?"
It wasn't some profound conversation.
Just a fleeting bit of chit-chat during a lazy date with Lily.
"Well, anyway, I smash a limb or beat them half to death until they come to their senses... Isn't that punishment enough in its own way?"
The city streets were quiet,
overflowing with rare leisure.
People laughed,
and smiled as they talked.
Crow and Lily
melted into that atmosphere, looking at each other and smiling.
"Ack...! Gahk...!"
Lily slammed her face to the floor and writhed. Her delicate, beautiful features twisted in agony and fear.
It wasn't the pain of Crow's beating that hurt. What tormented her was the fact that Crow was treating her as roughly as he did other villains.
Just like he did with them,
Crow swung his fist with full sincerity at Lily, who dared to try standing on her own two feet.
"At least you're reflecting on it."
From her throat to her navel,
Crow struck only vital points with genuine force.
First with his fist,
then with his elbow.
No big wind-up needed.
One blink of the eye,
and a swift punch from chest height shattered the bones where it landed on Lily.
"O-Oppa...!"
Lily spat blood-mixed saliva and pleaded through tears. She looked up at Crow willingly, but he didn't even glance at her straight on—he just kept checking his knuckles.
"Wh-what did I do so wrong...? I really... I really did it all for Oppa... I'm sorry for hurting you, I am, but...! You don't have to do this...!"
Lily shed tears frantically as she clung to Crow.
But with her arms taped behind her back, all she could do was barely rub her cheeks and face against his legs while sobbing.
"I see. Alright."
Crow glanced at her roughly and decided to change tactics. He knew mere violence like this wouldn't truly torment Lily.
"Keep it up."
Instead, Crow began stripping off Lily's clothes.
For some reason, Lily seemed relieved when the harsh beating suddenly turned into caresses.
"Eh, uh...?"
Maybe even excited. Lily, who had longed even for physical love from Crow all this time, started building anticipation for this new form of punishment.
"Agh...! O-Oppa...! S-slower...!"
She was already soaked from his blows, so penetration took little effort.
But unlike before, Lily couldn't keep her wits amid the ferocious pistoning.
"Hah, ahh... Hic...!"
Sudden pleasure and bliss set her body ablaze. Even as she lay crushed beneath him, moaning roughly, Lily breathed hotly in ecstasy.
Was this him paying back the merciless rapes she'd endured?
Lily pretended to suffer, eyes glistening with tears,
but inwardly she let out sweet cries.
"Haa..."
A tingling sensation started deep inside her core and spread to her toes and scalp.
To savor the impending orgasm even more, Lily even bucked her hips on her own.
Oppa still loved her, no doubt.
She believed it without question.
"..."
But the furious manhood that had been ravaging Lily's depths suddenly halted its beastly movements.
Only their breathing filled the room now. The wet symphony of flesh that had dominated the space cut off abruptly.
"Eh...?"
Crow pulled out his highly sensitive member and took a moment to breathe deeply.
Incomprehensible willpower. Any normal man would have climaxed or passed out from the warm embrace of her inner walls alone.
Instead, after the rough thrusting, Crow regulated his own pleasure with deep breaths.
"Oppa...?"
Lily whimpered his name.
But Crow ignored his throbbing erection, stood up, and dressed himself again.
"O-Oppa...? Wh-what is this...? What are you...?"
Lily couldn't comprehend the situation.
But soon, she clearly realized the punishment Crow had prepared for her.
He endured the cold sweat, his lust, and his neuralgia all at once.
The withdrawal symptoms from the drug were still killing his body, but his mind seemed to have adapted somewhat.
"O-Oppa... J-just a little more..."
But Lily had no means to endure this waiting and abandonment.
When it came to Crow, she insisted on being number one above all else,
so she waited desperately for him to finish inside her, even just a bit sooner.
"What is this...! Who does this...!"
"Stay like that. You have a lot to think about."
But Crow didn't spare her a glance. He quietly sat on the sofa, composing his emotions. He closed his eyes tightly and tried meditating. It didn't help much.
"Oppa! I said I'm sorry...!"
Lily writhed on the floor, desperately seeking Crow.
But unlike her leaking fluids, Crow was immersed in his own sorrow.
"Oppa! Oppa! Oppaaa...!!"
Since he'd ordered her not to remove the tape, Lily could only squirm. If she did, Crow might really leave her forever.
"Y-you don't have to do this, right...? Oppa wants it too... I'll reflect some other way. Yeah...? I-I don't want to see Oppa suffering..."
That made her heart ache even more. She had to submit until his anger subsided, but she couldn't endure this cruel neglect.
"Oppa, Oppaaaang... Hic, hik..."
So Lily finally burst into tears. Childlike, honest tears she'd never shown anyone else.
"Oppa! Oppa! Aaaah! Hik... Hnng... Uhk...! Oppa!"
Somehow wriggling to Crow's feet, Lily strained to lift her body and rub against him.
"Look at me! Hic, hweee... Hweeeeng..."
Even sniffling from her nose as she sobbed,
Crow just swept his hand over his face in utter torment.
"This is what you wanted."
"Huh? E-eh...?"
Crow's eyes were red around the edges.
Just like when he'd finished hero work, clung to the mirror, and hidden his tears alone—now too, his eyes welled up.
"I'll curse you forever, you'll whine that you love me despite my resentment forever, and the whole world hunts us down. That's what you wanted."
"No! No... O-Oppa. I can fix everything. Believe meee..."
Lily knelt and begged Crow.
Even so, Crow shook her off and put on his coat.
