in the city streets Kurome was having a little walk, she eats one of her cookies and looks around "I hope Shinku is ok", there was something in the distance and she walks to it, it was a citizen hanged on a tree and was guarded by an Imperial soldier, Kurome's eyes widen and she gripped her bag of cookies tighter, "How horrible, maybe Akame was right, the Empire is very bad, and I must do something about it" she said then takes out her teigu, she runs and cuts the soldier on the throat the kicked him away, she sheathes her weapon and looks at the capital with a frown, she is not sure if the other Jeagers know about what is really going on and she sighs "The Empire must be destroyed and I will be sure it will happen", Kurome walks to the capital and looks down a little, she never knew how the Empire truly was for years and was mad. Meanwhile she was in the Jeager base and entered her room, she puts her stuff away and takes off her clothes, she get in her pajamas and lays on the bed "For now I must stay in the Jeagers and maybe soon I will meet Shinku again, and he might be with Akame" then she hears a knock on the door, "Hey Kurome, can I talk to you for a little" Seryus voice was heard and Kurome opens the door, Seryu stands in front of her and crosses her arms "I have been noticing strange things with the Empire, and I wonder whats going on". Kurome tells her about the hanged body and the Emperial soldier guarding it and she stands still with a sad and worried face, Seryu sighs and was disappointed in herself "All this time….i have been serving Evil rather than defeating it…", she grips her fists and thinks about all the things she has done, Kurome touches her shoulder and says "Don't worry, there is still time to correct those mistakes, and better yourself". Seryu looks back at her and smiles "Yeah your right, and for now on I will serve true justice to the world", Kurome looks back "But for now we must stay on the Jeagers, until we find the right moment to defect" then looks back at her, Seryu smiles and crosses her arms "Alright, tomorrow we will think of a plan" then she closes the door. Kurome lays back on the bed and wonders about Shinku, she covers herself with a blanket and says "Don't worry Shinku, I will find you and we can fight the Empire together" then looks at the window, the moonlight shines on her face and she smiles, she looks forward and crosses her fingers "I will see you again, and Akame too" then falls asleep.
Meanwhile Shinku was in the forest, crossing his arms while looking down, he wasn't used to Night Raid just yet and wanted to make sure it really is a good Assassin group. Leone was walking beside him and he looked back at her and asked "So whats your teigu called?", she had her arms over her head and explained "Its called Lionelle, it gives me the ears and tail of a lion, but also gives me the strength and speed of one". Shinku looks up at the stars and breathes lightly, Leone looks at him and notices his depressed face and asked in a worried voice "Why are you so quiet and sad, you reunited with your mother and you should be happy, what's wrong?", He still looks at the sky Contemplating and responds in a quiet voice "Well…..alot of stuff happened in my life, and it pains me till this day" and walks a little slower. Leone touches his shoulder and looks at him calmly "That was the past, and its all over now, but don't worry, we can prevent awful stuff from happening as hard as we can, and your not alone we are here to help you". Shinku looks back at her and sees a smile on her face, he now knows he wont be walking in the path of darkness anymore, and he has gained new people to trust, he looks down and slightly smiles "I see", then he notices it started to rain and used his cape to cover himself while walking, "I will see you there" Leone Concluded as she ran to the fort nearby.
