Immediately Shiro starts plotting his revenge against this man. He gets in touch with some very colorful characters and even buys himself a gun. The nights before his revenge he dreams about the moment that changed everything. He relives the moment when he says goodbye to his mother, he sees her dying all over again. But he also remembers the promise he made to her. That, no matter what happened, he would also stay her little boy, innocent and pure. Now Shiro has to choose, keep the promise to his mother and in doing so, keeping the memory of his mother alive (which is the only thing he has left of her) or does he fall through with his plans, destroying the murderer, but also destroying everything his mother stood for. Shiro's internal struggle begins to tear him up inside. He doesn't know if he ca finish his plans and actually take revenge on the person he hates most. On the day of the revenge, everything seems to go wrong. A lot of strange events and characters prevent Shiro from immediately enacting his vengeance. It doesn't help that the murderer seems to be more in control of the situation than he is. And on top of it all, he suddenly sees his dead mother before him, as if she were alive, talking to him and encouraging Shiro to finish it all. But a question still lingers in Shiro's head: Can he take a life?
