The morning sun peeked through the small window of Kidd's room, casting a warm glow on his face. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling a heavy weight on his chest. The memories of his betrayal flooded his mind, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt.
As he got dressed and headed to the main hall of the secret base, he saw Niki entering with a woman. The woman's face looked familiar, and as Kidd squinted his eyes, he realized it was Fein's mom.
He felt a pang of sadness in his chest as he remembered how he almost killed his best friend and left his mother grieving. But at the same time, he knew that if he tried to help her now, Niki would kill his own family in turn.
Kidd kept his distance, watching as Niki and the masked Laughing Phantom members ushered Fein's mom into another room. He couldn't help but feel conflicted. He didn't want to betray his friends in the past, but he didn't have a choice.
As he sat in the corner of the room, he overheard Niki talking to the members about their next mission. They were going to attack a nearby village and take their resources. Kidd couldn't stand by and watch innocent people suffer, but he knew he couldn't do anything without risking the safety of his own family.
He let out a deep sigh, feeling trapped and helpless. He wished he could go back and make things right, but it was too late now. All he could do was follow Niki's orders and hope for a chance to make things right in the future.
eaglesnov?1,сoМ As the members left to prepare for their mission, Kidd sat alone in the main hall, lost in his thoughts. He knew he had to be careful, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that he needed to make amends for his mistakes. But how could he do that without putting others in danger?
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He knew he had to be strong and think things through before making any moves. He may not have a choice in the present, but he could work towards a better future.
Suddenly, Niki appeared in front of him which interrupted his thoughts. Niki as if aware of Kidd's thought. He walked in front of Kidd with a faint smile. "Don't forget. I have your little brother and mom's life. I can end them with my finger tips."
Kidd's heart sank as Niki's words hit him hard. He knew Niki wasn't kidding, and the thought of losing his family was unbearable. He tried to keep his composure, but his hands were trembling, and his eyes were filled with fear and guilt.
Niki's smile widened as he noticed Kidd's reaction. "I see you still remember our little arrangement. You have been loyal to us so far, and I hope you continue to be. But if you ever decide to betray us, you know what will happen."
Kidd felt like he was trapped in a never-ending nightmare. He didn't want to betray his friends, but he also didn't want to lose his family. He felt helpless and hopeless.
Niki's words echoed in his mind, "You didn't really want to betray your friends in the past but you don't have a choice." Kidd couldn't help but agree with him. He had made a mistake, and now he had to pay the price for it.
As Niki walked away, Kidd closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He needed to find a way out of this mess, but he didn't know how. He felt like he was walking on thin ice, and one wrong move could lead to disaster.
He opened his eyes and saw Fein's mom sitting in the corner of the room, looking at him with a sad expression. Kidd couldn't help but feel guilty as he remembered his past actions. He knew he had to make it right, but he didn't know how.
Kidd stood up and walked towards Fein's mom. He knelt down in front of her and said, "I'm sorry for what I did to your son. I know I can never make it right, but I want to help you. Please tell me what I can do."
"You're Fein's friend?" Fein's mom looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "You can start by bringing my son back. He needs to know that I'm alive and that I still love him even though I don't know what mess he was in."
Kidd nodded, determined to make it right. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he had to try. He stood up and walked out of the room, ready to face whatever came his way.
As he walked down the hallway, he thought about his friends, Fein and Michael. He missed them and wished things could go back to the way they were before. But he knew it was impossible. He had made his choice, and now he had to live with the consequences.
...
Kidd's feet carried him to the edge of a nearby cliff, his eyes vacant as he stared out at the vast sky above.
A deep sense of guilt and remorse weighed heavily on his chest, and he felt like he was suffocating. His thoughts spiraled as he considered jumping off the cliff to end his miserable life.
Kidd's body trembled as he stepped closer to the edge, and his toes curled over the rocky edge. He closed his eyes, ready to let himself fall, when suddenly he remembered his family. His brother and mother, who were both in Niki's clutches. The thought of them being harmed because of his actions made him freeze.
He opened his eyes and looked down, the vast abyss below him, but his mind was elsewhere. He thought about his family and the terrible fate that would befall them if he disobeyed Niki's orders.
He couldn't bear the thought of them being hurt because of him. He knew that he had to obey Niki's instructions, no matter how much he didn't want to. Kidd took a deep breath and stepped back from the edge of the cliff. He knew that he couldn't take his own life and leave his family at the mercy of Niki.
He had to keep going, no matter how difficult it was, for the sake of his family's safety.... In the end, he came back to his room and slept.
