The party was long over and everyone was asleep on the floor. Still, Wendy remained awake. Seryu and Caruma had decided to leave the party a little while ago to go and rest in a room, leaving the child alone.

Of course, Wendy could very well have gone to her other friends. Nevertheless, she wanted to be alone. Ever since her reunion with Caruma, Wendy had thought about the fact that all of her friend's companions had died because of her.

Honest and Wild Hunt had executed them in cold blood just to force her out of the Jaegers.

Anyone would have told Wendy that none of this was her fault. Yet she felt responsible for all these murders and this made her sick.

Finally, she got up and decided to walk a bit. Lying next to each other, Gajeel and Natsu were snoring while each of them still held food or metal in their hands. Next to them, Happy was sleeping while having a huge belly, while Lily was choking as Chelsea fell asleep hugging him.

Further on, Akame and Kurome were sleeping, resting their heads next to each other. Akame still displayed a face without the slightest emotion. On the contrary, for the first time since she had met him, Wendy saw Kurome display a peaceful face, as well as a smile.

" Sister. " She mumbled in her sleep, seeming to be comforted by Akame's presence by her side.

Continuing to walk, Wendy saw Kije and Logue asleep in a blanket, which Bols had covered them with, seeing them asleep. Passing by the family, trying not to wake them up, Wendy almost jumped in fear, hearing Bols say.

" I am not asleep. "

" Bols-san ? "

Stretching, the masked man finally stood up.

" Are you going somewhere, Wendy? "

" I need to walk and think a little. "

" Something bothering you ?" Bols questioned, following her.

" Yes. " Wendy confessed, not finding it necessary to lie to her.

Eventually leaving their sleeping friends, Wendy ends up sitting on a rock, before looking at the full moon above her. Without being able to understand why, she had always admired the red color of the moon of this world. She found her both mysterious and magnificent.

" Bols-san, can I ask you a question? "

" Hum? Of course. "

" During our first real discussion, when I felt sick and you gave me medicine, you told me that you regretted being in the army. "

" Indeed, it is! I have done a lot of horrible things that I regret and no matter what I do for the rest of my life, I doubt that god will ever forgive my sins. "

" And what did you think of the Jaegers ? "

Remaining silent, while wondering where Wendy was going with this, Bols finally said.

" Strangely, being part of the Jaegers ... it was the first time that I felt I was doing justice! Wave, Kurome, Run and even Seryu… each of them wanted to uphold justice! Each of them had a very different definition of what justice was, but they wanted everyone's good! And, there's you too, Wendy! You are a wonderful person who…"

" Because of me, hundreds of people, as well as children, died. " Wendy interrupted.

Bols then fell silent, as Wendy told him of the Wild Hunt attack on everyone who supported Wendy. Still her face raised to the moon, Wendy suddenly began to smile.

" Can you believe it, Bols? All these people died… just because Makoto-san considered me his friend. "

Suddenly her smile was replaced by tears as she declared.

" I have become a monster, Bols. "

" Wendy… you didn't do anything! You are not responsible for these murders. "

" If I hadn't involved all these people, they would still be alive. " Wendy retorted.

Crying more and more, she cried out.

" I can not stand it anymore ! Since I've been here everyone is just dying or killing other people! I hate this world! I hate the people of this world! Why do they like to kill each other? Why do politicians encourage the rich to rob the poor and order the guards to kill beggars? Why organize massacres of innocent people? "

Continuing to sob, she cried out.

" I can't get anywhere! No matter how hard I try, I can't save all these people! I suck! I am pathetic! I… I… "

Lowering her gaze, she confessed.

" Sometimes ... I just want to give up so much I find myself useless. "

Suddenly, Bols grabbed him by the back of his body. Then, with a powerful gesture, he threw Wendy forward, who fell into the pond, in front of her. Startled, Wendy made disorganized gestures, before finally regaining the surface. Coughing, she cried.

" Why did you do that ? "

" Do you find yourself useless? " Bols asked him. " Who saved my daughter when this psychopath took her away? Who saved my family when I wasn't there to protect them ? "

" Bols! Maybe you see me as a savior, but no one else thinks the same as you. "

" You saved Seryu several times, as well as healing Kurome! You saved countless people when you were a Jaeger! Without you, other than Esdeath, I doubt any of our party members are still alive! It is thanks to you that I am always with my family. "

Entering the water, Bols joined Wendy before grabbing her collar and lifting her above the water. Finding herself strangled, Wendy then heard Bols scream.

" WENDY! You are not useless! You saved us, the members of Jaegers and it is thanks to you that each of us has the opportunity to fight for true justice! You even managed to convince a murderer like me to trust you when I know full well that being part of Night Raid will put me and my family in danger! But, if I do, it's because I trust the strength of Fairy Tail. "

" Bols…? "

Finally, Bols let go, before falling to his knees. Then Wendy heard him sob.

" Please, Wendy…! Don't give up! You are the only person who gave me the chance to redeem all my atrocities! It's when I'm with you that I find the strength to fight! I want to become a man Kije would be proud of and a worthy father for Logue! I want ... I want ... "

Suddenly he put his hand on his mask and took it off. Her gaze widened, Wendy caught sight of her friend's face for the first time, who cried out.

" I want to become a member of Fairy Tail. "

Having remained at Night Raid's base, Caruma was now lying on a bed, while she rubbed her stomach.

" My god ... it had been a long time since I had eaten like this! It's crazy ! I wonder why these guys from Night Raid allowed me to stay here when we don't even know each other. "

" It's because Wendy assured them that you were a trusted person. " Seryu told him, while she had allowed the young girl to share her room with her.

Smiling, hearing the child's first name, Caruma asserted.

'' She's a really nice girl. "

" Caruma… " Seryu called her then, sitting down next to her. " Tell me everything! What happened that famous evening? How did you manage to escape death? "

Sighing, Caruma then began to stare at the ceiling, as she flashed through all of her memories of the Wild Hunt attack. Immediately her gaze darkened, as she wanted to know.

" How did the empire order this massacre? "

" Caruma…? "

Rage appeared on the girl's face as she roared.

" These assholes came in the middle of the night and we started setting fire everywhere! Luckily, the abandoned restaurant where I lived was set back from where the fire started! As a result, I could have been woken up by the screams of the soldiers… but above all by the screams of people who were being massacred. "

Gritting her teeth, she felt a tear run down her cheek as she confessed.

" I saw one of the soldiers swing Niks' body in a blaze! He was still alive! And it was not the only one! They are all dead… all! And if it wasn't by fire, they got beheaded, slaughtered, dissolved or disintegrated by Wild Hunt! In the end, I was forced to flee, while the flames approached my place of life! However, no sooner was I outside than one of the soldiers attacked me with his saber. "

Suddenly standing up, she undid her top and ended up presenting a large scar on her left shoulder.

" I fought against him and I ended up killing him! However, by then I barely had the strength to stand up while I was losing a lot of blood! It was then that I saw a cart of corpses not far from me! They were meant to serve as an experience for the other girl named Dorothea! She wanted to use their limbs or others for her experiments! I hid there, among the corpses of my friends! And then I had to abandon them when we left the burning neighborhoods, before fleeing out of the capital. "

Listening to him without saying a word, Seryu suddenly heard him laugh. It was of course not a laugh of joy. No, that laugh was the same that Seryu produced when madness took hold of her.

" You realize ? I used the corpses of my friends to escape! I covered myself in their blood to pass myself off as dead! I had to endure hell… just because I'm poor. "

Stopping laughing, Caruma then began to cry, while roaring.

" Why does everyone decide to do nothing and just wait for someone to come knocking on their doors to kill them? "

" Caruma… we are there! I don't deserve it, but thanks to Wendy I have a chance to show everyone that I want to overthrow this tyranny! I want to show it to Wendy, the Jaegers, Night Raid, Mine… and you! Caruma… you are the one who allowed me to understand how much a monster I was! You are the one who stayed with me constantly, to comfort me, when Wendy was not there! Anyone would have taken this opportunity to manipulate me again, or kill me! But instead, you made me your friend! And even more … "

Suddenly, Caruma felt Seryu's hands rest on her eyes and made him look up to her.

" Caruma, I love you! I love you ! I love you ! I love you ! "

Crying while confessing her love, she cried out.

" When I thought you were dead, I was devastated! I was in so much pain in my heart that I wanted to kill everyone! I wanted to devastate everything! I wanted to slaughter Wild Hunt not thinking it could resuscitate you! But it could never have been the case. "

Hugging Caruma's head to his chest, Seryu pleaded with her.

" I don't want you to die! You are not my friend! You are the person I love and will continue to love! I want us to fight together and then live happily ever after! Stay with me forever. "

Opening her eyes, Caruma began to sob again. However, it was no longer the sadness that fueled her tears. Suddenly, both of her hands pushed Seryu back and dropped her onto the bed.

" Caruma ? "

Standing up, the young girl looked at her, before grabbing a blanket, which she threw in the air.

" Seryu ... "

That was all she said before collapsing on Seryu. And before Seryu could react, she felt Caruma kiss her. Then the blanket covered both of their bodies.

Not understanding what was going on, Koro heard Seryu moan, over and over again, as their bodies kept moving under the blanket, preventing him from seeing exactly what was going on. All he could see were Caruma's hands flinging clothes to the ground. Then, finally, he heard Caruma whisper.

" Me too, I love you Seryu. "

Being alone again, Wendy had her head resting on her bent knees. Sighing, she tried to put her mind in order. Despite Bols' words, Wendy was mumbling. Since she had been in this world, she had never felt that she and her friends had gained the advantage over the enemy. All Wendy saw was the death of her friends and the desolation around her.

" Why do people like to kill each other? "

" They don't all like to kill each other! Retorted a voice behind his back! It's a handful of people like Honest who manipulate others and make them their puppets. "

" Boss ? " Wendy wondered, seeing Najenda sit down next to her.

Smoking, Najenda exhaled a little smoke, before declaring.

" Wendy… thank you. "

" He ? "

" I know what you are thinking! You worry about this world! You feel like you're useless! You feel like evil can win this battle! In that case, let me reassure you. "

Looking at Wendy, she asserted.

" Night Raid has become more and more powerful, every day since your arrival in our world! And if this is possible, it is thanks to you. "

" Me ? "

" Yes ! As a Night Raid spy, you exceeded my expectations! I never would have believed you could do your job so well, while still allowing the Jaegers to join Night Raid! Wendy, thank you for your wonderful work. "

Remaining silent, Wendy finally asks.

" Najenda-san ... how could I feel good knowing that the innocent keep getting killed? "

" Wendy, it is thanks to your work that we can soon put an end to these atrocities! Wild Hunt, Esdeath, Honest… we can stop them all! thanks to you ! Thanks to Fairy Tail! Without you, who knows what situation we would be in right now? "

" That's not bothering me, Najenda-san. " Confessed Wendy. " We too are fighting evil by killing it. "

" What do you mean ? "

" I don't want the population to consider us as the victors just because we managed to kill all our enemies! This is not justice. "

" Wendy, we are not vigilantes or heroes. "

" Why not try ? Why always want to kill? What are you going to do with your prisoners? Execute them so that the children of this empire can watch them die? "

'' As soon as we beat Esdeath, we'll have to kill her. " Najenda confessed. " We are obligated to do so! There is no prison in this world that can prevent him from escaping and starting his massacres again! To show that his tyranny is over, we will execute Honest, along with the Emperor. "

Opening her eyes, Wendy looked at Najenda, while asking.

" You want to kill ... Makoto? "

" This will be like a symbol to the population! We must show that the people who started the tyranny are now dead. "

" But… Makoto… Makoto, he… "

Shutting up, Wendy thought back to the few times she and Makoto had been together. When he was not on his throne or with Honest, the Emperor would stop acting like an adult and revert to the child he was. He often smiled when he was with Wendy and it was always shown kind to her and listened to her every advice. Wendy had always felt that Makoto was just another victim of Honest.

" A problem, Wendy ? "

" I .. I… Najenda-san! I have a request for you. "
