As I sat there, facing my father, the void within me pulsed with dark energy, a tangible reminder of the power I had harnessed over the years. It was a power that had been born out of the very darkness that had consumed our lives, a power that had led me to this moment of reckoning.
"Tell me… why did you have to join a gang in the first place…"
"To feed my family," I didn't have any special powers, yet I could tell he was genuine. "It's just… I never realized how dark and brutal the underworld is… so now we're here. Let's leave no regrets."
The room seemed to close in around us, the air thick with the weight of our shared history. My father's confession had laid bare the truth of our existence, a truth that could never be undone. Our reunion was a collision of two worlds, a confrontation that would forever alter the course of our lives.
