–Please spare my life. I will give you anything you want so don't kill me! Do you want money,power,anything, just tell me!!!
The man was crawling backwards on the ground away from the tall figure standing in front of him with the intent to kill. His face lit by the blueish moonlight bore an emotionless expression. He lifted his sword to strike his prey who was now panicking after reaching his desk office by crawling backwards and having nowhere to run.
-Pppleheeaase don't kill me, I-i-i have a wife and child waiting me home.
The man halted his hand midair and stared at him with an empty face for a second, then striked mercilessly on the target. A clean cut on his neck. He died instantly. Blood splattered everywhere dying the floor a crimson red. On the desk a framed photo of a happy family, now splattered with blood, was being illuminated by the moonlight that peeked inside the office. It was a beautiful summer night outside.

Fukuzawa was pulled off his dream by some knocks on the door of his office.
–You may enter,-he said.
Yosano opened the door and walked in holding a tray with a teacup and some mochi.
–I brought you a cup of tea,president.
–Oh sure, thank you Yosano.Come and take a seat.
Yosano sat at the other chair next to the desk.
–You seem tired, president, are you sure you are okay?
–No I'm okay. I have had a lot of work to do since the Guild incident and haven't really had time to catch a rest. I really needed this tea.–said he while looking at the tea in his hands with tired, sleepless eyes not daring to look at Yosano.
–Take it easy, please, pres. You are quite important to us.Ranpo and me especially. You managed to bring me in a better, brighter world when I was nobody to you and you could have let Mori use my ability for his plans again–in Yosano's face was a bittersweet smile,– however you didn't and I will always be thankful to you for that. Ranpo as well. You helped us leave our pasts behind and gave us a new family here at the agency.You are very important to all of us.
All this time Fukuzawa had been listening to her with wide eyes and a blank face not knowing what to say.
–I will have to take my leave now. Judging by the noise coming from the office Dazai is up with one of his own antics again. Kunikida must be furious. Someone has to calm him down and Ranpo must be having too much fun to interrupt it.
–Ah, yes, please do so, Yosano. Kunikida takes Dazai way too seriously sometimes and overexerts himself.
–Goodbye then, President,–said Yosano while closing the door–and dont overwork yourself.

It was a beautiful afternoon outside and the rays coming from the window had dyed the office a warm orange hue. Fukuzawa kept drinking his tea while listening to the laughs coming from the office and watching by the window.
–Leave the past behind,huh? Maybe I'm not such a terrible person person after all. A faint smile could be seen in his face
