Its my fault, isn't it? Charles thought. The toppats had gotten their space station into orbit, and now it was going to be difficult to bring them down. General didn't really trust him anymore after last time. Charles really had wanted to be friends with Henry, but it didn't work out so well. Henry betrayed the government. But ever since, Charles always got really nervous at the mentioning of the toppats, and it made him internally got crazy whenever someone mentioned Henry. Why though? Henry didn't mean anything to Charles, they were enemies, after all. Henry lead the toppats, too. It didn't matter, he had to bring them down. If general would let him!
Charles felt a pang in his throat all of a sudden. He covered his hands with his arm and broke out into a small coughing slur. He began to move his arm away from his face when he tasted something in his mouth, something metallic... blood. He looked at his sleeve on his jacket, which was also covered in the red liquid, and... flowers?
Charles started to panic, what was going on? He was coughing blood, and flowers, apparently. He had a feeling he had heard of something like this before, and he tried to get his thoughts straight for a moment. Then, the word popped into his head;
Hanahaki.
