Chapter 3.5 : Daijirou and Cynthia
The view changed to a stormy night with lightning everywhere. *Bam bam bam. *Bam bam bam. *Bam, bam. "I'm coming I'm coming." A voice of a young man, "Geez, who the hell would be at the door this late?" a young spiky silver haired man with a headband, opening the door. *Dramatic thunder light. It was a young blue haired lady carrying a baby, "Cynthia? Ahaha. It's been a long time, but why this late? Where's your husband?" the young man asks whilst looking around. "There's no time for chit-chat! Please, take this baby!" the young lady persists, "Y-you're baby? Whoa, why didn't you tell me you got a baby!" The young man excited, "I told you there's no time for chit-chat, Daijirou!" the latter said.
"Wh-what's gotten into you?" Daijirou asks, "There's no time. My life and this baby's life is in danger. I want you to take responsibility of take caring her, Daijirou!" Cynthia replied. "What? O-okay…" the former agreed. "And, Carla, I want you to take care of it too." Cynthia said. "B-but this is…" "Please, Daijirou! Can I trust you?!" Carla persuades, "O-okay okay…"
Daijirou carried the baby and Carla the Light/Hikarinokarura. "Why don't you put this baby at the church or a shelter or orphan?" the young man asked, "Because I can't trust anyone anymore, you're the only person I trust, Daijirou." the young lady said. "Daijirou, you are the headman of this village right?" Cynthia continues, "Y-yeah, why?" Daijirou re-ask. "I want you to evict the church and move the orphan and shelters to another village or town!"
"What? I can't do that! That would be sinful!" the man replied, "Please, Daijirou, I beg you! You're my only trusted person. So Please!" Cynthia persistently begs, "Alright, if it's you then…." "Thank you, Thank you, Daijirou." "Sure thing! We're friends after all, aren't we?" the man smiled, and the lady smiled back, then she laments something.
"Cynthia?" the young man worried, "I made a mistake, Daijirou. I, I should've followed my heart, not my parent's." the latter said, "Eh?" "Daijirou, I…" she stopped her sentence and kissed the silver haired young man. The man smiled. "Bye, Daijirou. And thank you, again." She excused herself and said thank to the young man. With smile on his face he said goodbye. Cynthia disappeared at the midst of the mist.
"Looks like I'm your father now, huh? I'm not good at making name but, how about Kāra(Carla)?"
The next day, a body was found. It was Cynthia. With a truly devastated face, he tried to stop crying as he remembers Cynthia's words to him, Don't ever call my name, or empathize me. He wiped his 'pre' tears and, "I want the church to be evict and also shelters and orphans to be moved somewhere else this instance!" he yelled crucially with wrath covering his face.

Ending lyrics :
Nobashita te to risou wa tooku
Aoginagara nanimo tsukamenai mama
Sagashimotomete ita kotae wo
Okizari ni shite minai furi wo shite ita
Hitorikiri datta watashi wa
Mirai no imi wo machigaete ita
Hitei shitemo
Kimi no ude wa atatakai yo zenbu
Hontou no ai hontou no yasashisa dakara
Kimi no ishi ni kogareru no mo zenbu
Hontou no omoi hontou no tsuyosa dakara
Kono kimochi wo tsutaetai
