An Unexpected Encounter (1)

When Liam first met Aiden, he was terrified of the latter's red hair and red eyes.

Meanwhile, Liam had become accustomed to Aiden's creepy appearance that anything else seemed absurd.

"Mama, did you dye your hair?" he asked innocently.

"Ah... yes."

"Mama, are you wearing contact lenses?"

"Uhh, yes."

Aiden did not want to lie, but he did not know how to justify his sudden change of appearance otherwise.

"Do I look weird?" he asked the little boy, who shook his head vehemently.

"You look beautiful," Liam genuinely praised.

His words gave Aiden relief.

"I am glad to hear that."

Once peace returned, Aiden could not help but feel empty at times. He was not the only one who felt that way.

For so many years, England lived in constant fear of Organization X. Many people never got the chance to experience the villainous organization's destruction. Those who did never returned to their life prior to Organization X's emergence.
