The snow slowly falls as the start of the winter begins, in a hidden alley, two boys was hidden in sight, one has unruly brunette hair and golden eyes, the other has short messy red hair, silver eyes and left arm red as his hair, it was covered with an oven-mitten to hide from repulsive stare and judging eyes.
The redhead was holding the other boy in a vice grip using his only usable arm while the other was thrashing in pain and agony, stigmata's starting to grow in the other boys forehead making the boy whimper in pain, the redhead soothing the other one with empty words.
The redhead knew what was happening to the other one, his supposedly eidetic memory scrambling to think what he should do in their situation, especially to the expected guest he is waiting.
But even with all his memory untouched and all his skill usable, in the past he was just a chronicler apprentice, his body in a young age with his supposed partner-in-crime in the same state minus his memory, he was not even supposed to break their clan's law ,yet in the assumed mankind's enemy, he made friends with, made a heart that was supposed to be nonexistent.
But for all his decision, he never regret anything but curse the one that sent them into this situation, the guardian of the heart "apocryphos".
The redhead thinks of their other allies, especially his associate namely Cross Marian, his partner in sorcery.
Especially the Plan C. only him and marian thinks if A. and B. failed.
He snorts inwardly, while comforting the boy his holding, the other whimper again. The redhead started the countdown from 15.

authors note :
another story of mine that keeps itching me to publish, i know i have other story to finish but this plot bunny keeps biting me so here we go! this story will be full of spoilers if you're not updated to the latest manga chapter and this story is kind of a theory of mine though only halfway of the storyline. This is Half AU since a lot is changed except for some scene in the whole anime.
Hope you enjoy!
