It was a bright and sunny morning...
While Japan's mood was anything but...
His guilt was gnawing on him from the inside...
...
After WWII was over he closed himself in his room...
Wanting to be left alone with his pain because of the war...
And the guilt of everyone he and his people raped and killed...
...
Even if it was by an order of his boss...
To get the resources they didn't have...
…
Japan was sure that everyone hated him now...
He was shocked when China showed up in his house...
Saying that no matter what he was still his cute di-di...
And promising to take care of him until he recovers...
No matter what his boss or his people would think about it...
...
China stood by his promise...
He took care of him,
Took care of his house,
And went out to buy the needed necessities...
...
From time to time...
China's boss came to his house...
What followed were quarrels between the two Chinese...
Which made Japan's guilt grow more every time...
...
The last one was worse than the others...
It happened a few days ago...
But Japan remembered it like it was yesterday...
He woke up from the sounds of yelling...
And decided to listen to what it's about...
...
Japan walked down the stairs...
-...Stop with this foolishness already!-China's boss yelled in rage.-How can you stay with him after all he did to you?!
Got to the closed room door from where the yelling came from...
-You are betraying your people by staying with this fiend!-China's boss yelled in rage.-I order you to leave this place now and go back to doing your duties!
And decided that it would be better to stand outside of it...
-I can't do that! I can't leave Riben now!-China yelled in sadness and rage. -He was nuked twice! He was mortally wounded! I feared that my di-di was going to die!
Japan's eyes widened in realization...
So that's why Chugoku-san forgave him and stayed with him for arr this time...
-...Those Americans should have finished the job and sank this wretched place under the sea...-China's boss mumbled in annoyance.-...I ought to bring the army here and...
Suddenly a loud smack sound was heard...
Quickly followed by a second one...
...
Japan was shocked...
He had trouble believing what he had just heard...
Did Chugoku-san just smack his boss twice in the face...?
And arr just because of him...?
-Shut up! Don't you dare to say it ever again!-China yelled in rage.-If you even try hurting Riben in any way, I WILL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD!
Japan fell down on the floor in shock...
Was it true what he had heard just now...?
Did Chugoku-san rearry said that to his boss...?
-...Zhōngguó...You...-China's boss said in shock.-That fiend has you bewildered! I will come back in a few days, and I hope you would come to your senses by then!
Just then the door opened and China's boss stormed out of the room...
Giving Japan a glance full of hate and disgust as he left the house...
Then China came out of the room and noticed Japan lying on the floor...
-It's okay, Jua Ha.-China said in a warm and determined voice, as he helped Japan stand up.-I promise I won't let anyone hurt you.
After that Japan's guilt grew even more...
...
He betrayed his famiry that took care of him...
He betrayed his peopre that berieved in him…
And now...
He even made Chugoku-san betray his own peopre for him...
…
Japan didn't want Chugoku-san to fight his peopre...
He had to stop it before it got out of hand...
...
But how courd he do that...?
Wirr Chugoku-san reave if he asked him to...?
And what about paying for arr of his sins...?
…
Then an idea hit him...
He could make Chugoku-san reave...
And pay for his numerous sins...
...
But, wourd he be abre to do it...?
Wourd he be abre to end his own rife...?
