Chance (Kanda)

"He couldn't afford to make another mistake"

When his memories had awoken he'd gone insane. Insane was a good way to describe his life – both of them. He'd died the first time around, killed by an akuma with a large grinning face. This time he was harder to kill. The virus had no effect on him and never would, until all the petals fell. He didn't want them to. It didn't matter that he'd found the secret of the woman at last; that had been his tie to his previous life. There were new ties now – he finally realised that. He couldn't afford to make another mistake.

Exactly 100 words. I don't know how many of these I'll end up writing, and prompts are very welcome (please use the formTheme, Character, "Prompt" i.e. Chance, Kanda, "He couldn't afford to make another mistake"). Any character from the manga is welcome, no matter how obscure (no OCs or anime filler-only characters please). I'll only use each theme once, and I want to vary the characters so if you give me a character that I've already got one for, you'll have to wait a while for it.

Thanks for reading!
