Indonesia, 19:00. . .

  Light and Lily are giving a prayer to a man whom they have finished judging. The man was about to sexually assault someone, but thankfully, he failed in his action. They are putting their hands over the man's forehead, who is unconscious now.

  "Amen!" said Light and Lily together.

  "Lily, we're done for the day. Good job!" Light offers Lily a high five.

  Lily was quite surprised. This whole day, they've been silent towards each other.

  "Yes! Good job, Light-kun!"

  *PLAK*

  Lily high-fives Light.

  "So, we're going straight home now?" Lily asks.

  "Yes, do you want to go somewhere?"

  "Yes, actually!" Lily smiles.

  "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

  "No, you're coming with me, Light-kun!"

  "Eh?"

  "There's something that I wanna see together with you." said Lily with a smile.

  Lily quickly pulls Light's hand and they head towards the place that she wanted to go. They simply walked and arrived at a school nearby. The school is actually in the same town as the convenience store where they both work.

  Light and Lily are now sitting on top of the rooftop of the school's main building. They sit side by side on the edge with their legs hanging.

  "This is. . . my school." said Light.

  Lily let out a sigh of relief.

  "So, I was right! This is the right place. You did go to this school. I looked up stuff in your room a lot when you were already asleep."

  "So, why did you bring me here?"

  "Well, I mean, you can just look below."

  Below there is a school track field. The school today was having an open house event. During this specific time, the closing event is dancing around a giant campfire at the center. There is music that goes off with the fire as well.

  "This isn't actually Indonesian custom, but I guess it's nice to see it this close to home. . ." said Light.

  This is a romantic event where couples who dance around the fire are said to be bound together forever for the rest of their life. A lot of students are using this chance to dance with the person they have feelings for, hoping they will eventually end up being a couple. There are also people doing group dances with their friends so that their friendship lasts for a lifetime.

  "I’ve seen this a lot in anime that takes place in high school. Isn't it beautiful, Light-kun? You know, I never went to school. It's the kind of luxury I know that I will never get to experience. I know from the internet how important it is high school memories are to everyone, so I thought I could cheer you up with this." said Lily with a genuine smile towards Light.

  Light was silent for a few seconds after hearing Lily's words.

  "I. . . Back when I was in high school, I wasn't really enjoying my time. All I did was study and study. I was a loner. I didn’t make any friends, nor did I get involved in any of the big events such as this one. And even though all I did was study, I never produced any remarkable results. I got average scores on all subjects. With those kinds of scores, I couldn't even participate in some academic competitions. I said that, but even if I do have the scores, I doubt I would ever participate in one. I just don't have the motivation. I feel sorry for you who expected to hear great and enjoyable high school stories from me, however—"

  Light stands up.

  "—I do feel happy that you try to cheer me up. Let's join the others!"

  "H-Huh? Join? You know we can't just come down there and blend in."

  "We can actually. An open house event is a school event where they specifically expect outsiders to participate and make things merrier."

  "Well, still, seeing two people jump off a rooftop and just join the dance will surely make a scene."

  "I never said we should jump off, though. Use your time stop. We'll go down there and blend in as you undo the time stop."

  Lily uses her time stop. Light then holds Lily's waist and presses hers against his as they jump down towards the field. There are a lot of people, including outsiders, dancing near the fire. Lily undoes her time stop.

  "It's beautiful! This atmosphere!" said Lily.

  "Lily!" Light offers his hand towards Lily.

  "Shall we dance?"

  "Gladly!" Lily smiles as she takes Light's hand.

  Light moves to her front. He put his left hand on her waist while his right hand held her left hand. Lily puts her right hand on his shoulder.

  "Um, I forgot that I don't know how to dance. . ." said Light.

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  "N-Now that you mention it, I have no idea too. . ." said Lily.

  Light and Lily are standing still while holding hands.

  "Lily, let's close our eyes."

  "Kay."

  Light and Lily close their eyes. They listen to the music that is playing and let their bodies move according to the melody. They start dancing as if this isn't the first time they danced. Everyone else around them is also dancing to the melody.

  "(Back, forward, back, forward, left, right, left, right.)" said both of them inside their head as they tried to follow the melody.

  "Lily, pay attention to the sounds all around us." Light whispers to Lily's ear.

  Lily did as she was told. The melody of the music, the sound of everyone's footsteps as they dance, the sound of the burning wood, and the humming that a lot of couples around them do, all of them merge into one single harmony that puts everyone's heart at ease. This became the first core memory for both of them in their relationship.

  .

  .

  .

  15 minutes later, the fire burned out. The event has finished, and everyone is preparing a closing ceremony.

  Light and Lily have gone back to the rooftop and sat side by side on the edge with their legs hanging, looking down at the closing ceremony where the headmaster of the school gives a closing speech to all the students and participants.

  "Lily."

  "Hm?"

  Light puts his hand over one of Lily's hands.

  "Thank you!"

  Lily was surprised. She was so happy on the inside, but she calmed herself down.

  "You're welcome!" said Lily as she smiled towards Light.

  Light then closes his eyes for a few seconds.

  "Alright! I've decided!"

  "Huh?"

  Light stands up.

  "Lily, I'll take you somewhere. There's something I wanna show you."

  .

  .

  .

  Around the same time in a neighboring city near Light and Lily's location. . .

  "Sedahashi-san."

  ". . . ."

  "She's been following us for a while now."

  "*sigh*"

  Quroe and Luna are walking on the side of a street. There are a lot of people around, mostly office workers who are on their way home. Quroe and Luna stop their steps and turn around.

  "Oi, we know you're there. Just come out already!"

  ". . ."

  "Sedahashi-san, she didn't come out."

  "*sigh* What a pain."

  "OI! Come out or I'll—"

  Suddenly, the woman who fought Quroe earlier appears from behind a street sign. The woman walks towards them with a serious expression.

  "So, what do you want?"

  "I-If you want revenge, Sedahashi-san will completely decimate you!" said Luna as she hid behind Quroe.

  "You shut up!"

  The woman suddenly kneels and bows her head to the ground.

  "PLEASE MAKE ME YOUR DISCIPLE, MASTER!" the woman suddenly shouts, surprising everyone in the area.

  "Eh? What was that?"

  "Look, look! A woman is on her knees begging a man!"

  "Wow, that is an extreme lovers' quarrel."

  "Wait, look! There's a little girl behind the man!"

  "You're right! That woman is probably begging her ex-husband to give her the daughter."

  "Making your ex-wife address you as 'master', what a freak."

  The crowds kept talking and gossiping loudly so that the three of them could clearly hear all of it.

  "Tsk! What a pain in the ass!"

  "S-Sedahashi-san, you should probably answer her to stop this misunderstanding."

  "*Sigh* I'm sorry, I don't do these kinds of things at all!"

  *!!*

  "(I sense wrath and the presence of another Judge nearby.)"

  Quroe immediately turns away and walks away from the woman as Luna follows him behind.

  "I'M BEGGING YOU! PLEASE TAKE ME IN! I DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE ELSE TO GO! I'LL BE SURE TO MEET YOUR EXPECTATION!" the woman shouts again.

  "Sedahashi-san, this woman is doing it on purpose."

  "*Sigh* Lift your face and stay with this girl, keep your eyes on her, I have urgent business somewhere else!"

  "You." Quroe talks to Luna.

  "I have a name, you know! Call me Luna-chan!"

  "Wait here for me! I have something to do! I'll be back! I won't leave you or anything! I have some urgent matters!"

  "Grrr! Ignoring me as always. . . but okay! WAIT, FIRST CLEAR UP THE MISUNDERSTANDING FIRST, SEDAHASHI-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!” shouts Luna.

  Quroe then leaves Luna and the woman with the crowds around them.

  .

  .

  .

  Just two kilometers away from where Quroe and the others were, there was a cluster of civilian houses nearby. Inside one of the houses, there is a teenager in his 20s currently beating up his own girlfriend.

  "STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!"

  The young man punches and kicks her around the living room.

  "IF YOU WON'T SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

  "Stop! You are not this kind of person."

  "SHUT UP!"

  "Kevin, this isn't like you. Calm yourself down, okay? I'll let the fact that you hit me slide."

  "DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ME!!"

  The man raises his fist against his girlfriend. He punches her on her cheek, and she falls hard to the floor.

  "Kyaaaaargh!"

  Her head crashes against the floor, and it bleeds as she faints.

  "DIE!!"

  The man raises his foot to stomp on her head on the floor.

  "What do we have here?"

  The man's lower leg suddenly got cut off, and blood splattered from his cut-off leg.

  "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHH!!! MY LEG! MY LEEEEEEEGG!"

  The man quickly grabs his leg with both of his hands and falls to the floor. He flails around on the floor while enduring the pain in his leg.

  "Beating up the person who takes the most care of you because you got a little angry? Scumbags like you belong in hell!"

  Quroe appears inside the living room with the two of them. There was no sign that the front door had ever opened, nor were there any of the windows as well.

  "Hey! Where's your anger? You were beating up a girl, didn't you? What's wrong?"

  The man is still flailing on the floor, enduring his leg wound.

  "I SAID, WHERE IS YOUR ANGER?"

  The man's left hand was suddenly cut off as well.

  "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGHHH!! MY HAND! MY HAAAAAAAAAAAND!!"

  "Where is it? Where is your anger now? OI! ANSWER ME! WHERE IS YOUR ANGER NOW?!"

  Blood is spilling from his chopped-off hand. The man has lost a lot of blood in such a short time.

  "You're gonna die! In the meantime, think of what you've done that led you to this moment!"

  The girlfriend suddenly wakes up from all of her boyfriend’s loud shouting. She looked around to assess the situation until she finally realized.

  "KEVIN! KEVIN! KEVIN! WHAT HAPPENED?"

  The girlfriend immediately rushed towards the man.

  "I did that, miss." Quroe answers her.

  "WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" the girlfriend starts crying as she lashes out at Quroe.

  "It is my job."

  "HUH?"

  "My purpose is to rid this world of scumbags that lost their mind. Your violent boyfriend is one of them. I can't let that slide!" Quroe's tone got deeper near the end of his sentence.

  "THAT'S NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE! YOU TOOK SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE SO EASILY! THIS GUY IS MY PRECIOUS SOULMATE! HE WAS ONLY HAVING A BAD DAY! THAT FEW PUNCHES AND KICKS DON'T EVEN COMPARE TO WHAT HE JUST WENT THROUGH! YET YOU KILLED HIM WITH NO HESITATION! DO YOU KILL PEOPLE THIS EASILY? DOES BEING A BELIEVER GET TO YOUR HEAD? YOU BELIEVERS ARE ALWAYS PLAYING GOD JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF POWER!"

  "To be frank, I don't care! If he was so pressured that he started hitting you, then you'd be better off without him. A guy like him will get corrupted so easily. You make one big mistake, and he'll probably murder you. This is just his true nature. Just move on from him as fast as you can!"

  *SLAP*

  The girlfriend suddenly slaps Quroe with all of her might.

  ". . ."

  The girl doesn’t say anything, and she continues to cry.

  "Cy. . . lia . . ." the man called out to her.

  "KEVIN! KEVIN HANG IN THERE!"

  The girlfriend immediately approaches the man.

  "Kevin? KEVIN!? KEVIIIIIN!! KEVIIIIIIIINN!!"

  The man passed away before he could even say his last words. The girlfriend grieves over his boyfriend’s death even though she was treated poorly. She grips his boyfriend's body as hard as she can. She cries her heart out.

  "(My work here is done.)"

  "What's going on here?"

  *!!*

  There was someone else's voice inside the house. Quroe immediately turns around.

  In front of the front door to the living room, there was a boy standing. The boy has spiky black hair with an antenna hair sticking out, and his clothes were all black. The boy was Light.
