Hans was mystified.

Again, he was in state of tenseness. Myriad was trying to use his secret in his favor, and now he felt more alone than ever. The boy from District Twelve didn´t know what to do. He was afraid, so afraid.

But he was on the train back home with Ashmira, so he decided to let things pass. He had some time later to deal with it, right?

Right?

As he landed on the District, the people on the station surprised him. Not due to the large quantity (since when Ashmira won people from the entire District came to see her). Not because his ex-bullies, Joseph, Cole and Coal were there. No, it was because someone was missing.

Akira was.

Shouna was there, with a baby, who looked a lot like him.

When he got off the train and after talking to a few people who wanted to talk with him (probably to get some money from him since he was rich now), he went to Shouna and asked.

"Where is she?"

Shouna only looked down and shook her head.

Things were going to be a long, long weekend.

After arranging his sister´s funeral and doing everything he could to give her and Xander a good bury, he directed his attention to the elephant in room.

What shall he do with the baby?

He couldn´t possibly keep it. Imagine him going insane one day, and losing his mind and hold of reality and hurting him. Imagine him growing up a little, and then Hans dies in one of his future missions. What he could suffer these days now? Why should he even suffer?

Then, one day, he decided what he should do. He told Shouna his plan, and while she was reluctant at first, she told him it was a good idea at the end.

If only it worked.

The office was a shiny and at the same time dirty place. The attendant there was just tidying her work place when the man and the woman entered.

The man had a fake beard in his face, and the woman obviously had put something in her breasts, but she wasn´t going to ask. They were probably teenagers who had ruined their life during intercourse.

At least the baby in the woman´s arms was gonna have a good life now.

"So" Jessica, the office worker said. "Which district do you want him to end up in?"

The man answered

"And do you want to leave a note with him?"

The man answered again

"Okay, you can leave him here and I will take care of the paperwork, okay?" Jessica said.

And then she said while they were leaving

"Have a good life without your son!"

The days passed, and it was time.

Hans knew it was time, but he just couldn´t just know it. He knew what would happen, he had been told of that, but he had been in denial all the time.

It wasn´t until the door was knocked one day he had been having lunch with Shouna in his house when he knew it had finally arrived.

The day his pain would start.

The man at the door was the traditional uniform for his job, and he seemed to know what he was doing. But he was happy for some reason, and that bothered Hans a lot.

The man extended his hand "Hi, I am Gus Ronfield. I am here to teach you some techniques to might wanna know."

He told Shouna to leave and she did.

The man left his guns in the dining table and talked.

"So, let´s get started, shall we?"
