Cruz was sitting on the steps to the church , with his eyes closed he soaked up the sun , when a tall shadow appeared in front of him and he felt the sun no more. He opened his eyes to see who was standing in the light. When he looked he couldn't believe who he saw. Cruz jumped on his feet.
"Y-you're th-the Second!" Cruz cried. His eyes widened as the man smiled at him.
"I didn't think someone as young as you would know about me."
"Of course I do!" Cruz exclaimed. "You're like one of the most famous people in the BlackSpot."
"Oh? Has someone else taken my spot?" He questioned
"For most popular , yea. But he's nothing like you!" He paused. "He has killed countless people for no reason. He's horrible..." Cruz eyes got teary as he thought about his sister and the rest of his comrades that were killed by Arclight and Simeon.
The Second's face got serious. "I take it he killed someone close to you?"
"Yea , my sis and all our friends. I'm the only one who made it out alive , which makes no sense since I was the weakest one." A tear ran down Cruz's cheek "It shoulda been me." He said quietly.
"Dont say such things things about yourself."
"It's true! I'm needless!" Cruz yelled
"Listen , everything happens for a reason. You're still here for a reason. Keep your head up , and just remember , what goes around comes around." He wipes Cruz's tears from his face and places his right hand on forehead.
Cruz feels a warmth all throughout his body. The only other time he felt that way is when Aruka would hug him. The Second then turned and headed on his way.
"Hey , where you going?" Cruz asked. But he got no answer just a wave. Cruz knew that this wouldn't be the last time he saw him.
