The atmosphere again calmed down between the two for a while. Anna is still trying to take things slowly. What had happened could not easily be accepted, Anna still needed time to understand the mystical things related to the creator figure.
"But by the way, is this a real house?" asked Anna, who suddenly changed the subject so that she could melt the atmosphere.
"Eung! Yeah. Of course it's a real house. I bought it very expensive," Howl said.
"Don't lie! Your house is on Jiri Mountain, right? It's Seoul …" Anna said, looking disbelieving at Howl.
"Why don't you trust people?" Howl asked howl, feeling annoyed at being suspected.
"You're not human." Anna said.
Soon Howl was
Howl can feel Anna's sincerity towards wild animals who have a less fortunate fate. But all life in the world is not his will or his power. Howl is just an angel carrying out an order."God is very cruel." Howl said as he walked to pick something up in a small drawer.A piece of memo paper bearing an address—walking back to Anna who still looked so gloomy. A facial expression that shows despair. Howl throws the memo at Anna who is immediately shocked."What is this?""You said you wanted to catch the guy who killed the street cat? That's his home address," Howl said."How did you get this? Where did you get it?" Anna asked, looking suspiciously at Howl."If you don't want to
"Howl …!!"The sound of the scream made Howl wake up in the reflection of his mind. Looks like Anna showed up from the entrance. He looks like he's out of breath."Howl! Are you all right?" Anna asked—worried about what she had just seen. Anna looks around again, making sure there is no destruction caused by Howl's fight with Lucifer.It's strange, Anna is even more worried about Howl, who is clearly a god than worried about herself who is in danger, Howl thinks."Howl! Why are you so quiet? You're okay, right? He didn't hurt you, right?" Anna asked, trying to make sure Howl was okay."Before you worry—"Howl finishes his speech, and Lucifer reappears by clutchi
[Operation On - Anna Jang, 32 years old]"We start the operation, operation time is 3 hours and 30 minutes. Here we go. Mess!"Lying weakly with your mouth covered with oxygen hoses. Anna was already in her subconscious after being dosed by an anesthetic nurse. The operation was initiated to stop bleeding from occurring inside Anna's brain due to a severe impact. A primary doctor, an assistant doctor, and three nurses began dissecting Anna's head.Howl was silent in front of the O.R. entrance. It's a strange feeling that's been bothering him a little after seeing Anna covered in blood after falling from a 25-story building. It was like being in the middle of a forest fire — surrounded by flames and hot ash along with black smoke but he couldn't feel what the heat was like and what it was like to breathe. It's empty."He won't die,"A word that instantly made Howl wake up from his dream. Looking ahead, it turns out he's just Jeoseungsaja."If she's not dead, why are you here?" Howl ask
The wilderness is so dark. Anna ran in fear like something was chasing her from behind. Running barefoot, Anna's white clothes have turned brown after falling to the ground several times and returning to the ground to escape.Horrible noises continued to be heard all the way Anna ran. Anna tried to scream for help so many times, but it all seemed like a waste. Fear of avoiding something that is not even seen until Anna is unconscious of what is in front of her until Anna falls on a ravine so deep and dark.Her body is rising to the void of time. In the midst of an obscure situation Anna was unconscious for a moment a flash of light was shining towards her. Her ears heard faint sounds of baby cries mixed with laughter."Daughter of the bad luck!"Th
"She'll be fine," said captain Steven.Suho breathes a sigh of relief again, worried about Anna's condition. After a few days of not meeting because Anna is not on the same team as him, Suho finds it difficult to meet with Anna.Suddenly she gets word that Anna is in an accident, falling from the apartment building where she lives. After several surgeries, Anna continued to be in the ICU room for three days. The day he visited Anna, something unexpected happened. Guilt made Suho sit limp in front of the ICU room."I'm back in the office. Don't push yourself too hard, the hospital will give you news." said captain Steven while patting Suho's shoulder which looks so fragile."Yes, captain."Steven also walked away leaving Suho alone. Her being in the hospital won't change Anna's current state either. His job as captain of the special team, has so many cases to solve.***"Don't you see the situation?" asked Jeoseungsaja, while opening a can of hot coffee he bought at a 24-hour minimarke
"It sucks."It's no wonder that such a stupid, sloppy Anna can make a man fall in love. However, Howl feels strange that he does not like it, making himself irritated without realizing it.Moreover, Anna and Suho have known each other for a long time compared to her. The relationship with Anna seems to be completely over after Anna realizes that she doesn't recognize herself. That night's accident is certain to leave traces of trauma to Anna. The woman's head was so hard that if it was just a second late, maybe Anna's skull would've broken.Considering that, Howl immediately stops his step—looking at his right hand that looks fine. There was not a single wound even though that night his hand was almost unshaped when he tried to hold Anna's head. Ironically, no matter what he is, he will remain intact and fine. But not to Anna who is just an ordinary human being. A very significant difference between herself and Anna."But why do I feel so unacceptable? Why am I upset?"Why does he fee
The children who were seen as having no worries, ran across the ground laughing. So great a sense of freedom they had in their childhood. Forgetting the slowly fading pain, loss, waste and betrayal they've felt since they were abandoned by their world."I didn't see Sam? Where is he?" Howl asked, realizing that he did not see the figure of an 8-year-old child left in the forest alone by his parents."It's not still locked up in his room," said one priest.The middle-aged man who looked so shady was one of the most respected. He loved the children who lost their parents so much. He's called Damarius."Several times he had to be rushed to the ER because of a panic attack. The sisters tried to persuade him to go through counseling, but he got angry and tried to kill himself
"I'm hungry …"Anna took a long breath with her face so languid after having a therapy session. Breathing in the night air in spring slowly makes her tiredness seem to be carried away by the spring breeze.There is no denying the beauty of cherry blossom petals at night along with the garden lights that decorate the night. Anna sat in a wheelchair alone to relieve her cramped feeling after nearly two months in hospital."But… Why hasn't he come yet? Has he forgotten about me?"Anna breathes a sigh again, disappointed at Howl's attitude that was never even seen again after the night. A night Anna will never forget until any time. Even when he first opened her eyes, she had a temporary memory loss. It's time for spring to come, all the memories to come back.Anna misses Howl's presence. She had so many questions in mind that she wanted to ask Howl. But until this second the man who claimed to be the cat god seemed to disappear like dust clouded by the wind."Did he forget me completely?
"Han Yena was initially a very friendly and kind child to everyone here. She was especially fond of her sister. But when she met that man... I felt that Yena started to change." said the grandmother with a sad look on her face as she recalled how the horrific events began.It was hard for the 76-year-old woman to accept the fact that two poor children who were considered her own had to die before her. Her heart always aches when she remembers that day."That man...? Do you recognize him?" Anna asked."I don't remember his face, his name if I remember correctly was Oh Sungwon. Oh Jaewon! Ah! That's right, that guy from Seoul named Oh Jaewon.""Oh Jaewon...""Yes. At first, I thought they were good friends. Finally, people started to get suspicious because Yena always came home at midnight and even early in the morning. Yena's clothes also changed, someone saw her at a gambling place." said the grandmother."Gambling place?""That's right. Yena no longer works part-time at the cafe or t
She also gave him a set of food specifically for young children. When Yena saw this, she was touched by her grandmother's kindness."I'm grateful to you, thank you... thank you..." Yena said as she bowed her head several times to the grandmother as an expression of gratitude-Yena held back her tears from falling.The grandmother smiled at her - her heart ached to see two young people who looked starving and like they were lost. She, who also had children, understood this feeling."Hurry up and eat, the Kimchi jjigae made is delicious." Grandmother said as she sat in front of them - gazing with concern at the current state of the two young people before her.She didn't know what had hap
"By the way, why is this area so quiet...?" asked Anna."Many of the residents of this area have left their homes," said the grandmother as she sat on one of the benches facing Anna who was slowly approaching her."Why?" asked Anna."There are more elderly residents in this area. They can't work or continue their restaurant business. You see for yourself, don't you? Many restaurants have closed down, as well as mine."Anna listened pensively to the heartbreaking stories of the elderly who had to continue their lives, but the recent pandemic had made it difficult for them to get up and continue their restaurants."So did they all move out of here?" Anna asked."Some went to nursing
"Doesn't he have any other family?" asked Howl."No, she doesn't. They're orphans."Howl sighed heavily at that."But ... Han Yena has 5 million dollars in death insurance," said Anna."Death insurance?""That's right. After Yena's death, the insurance was automatically given to her younger brother, Han Jisung. Surprisingly, three days before Jisung's death. He cashed out Yena's death insurance in cash." said Anna which instantly left them shocked and speechless."Then, Jisung's death was planned long before Yena's death?" Howl said trying to guess what happened. Howl's brain continued to spin looking for a common ground to connect every incident that Anna had just explained to hi
Lucas is clearly avoiding Howl's question by pretending to know nothing. Because only he can protect his own life."If you don't then you end up just like all the cats you've killed." Howl threatened with a tone so smooth as paper that could injure human skin.As many minutes passed, Lucas still kept his mouth shut. Although Howl sees a fierce battle in Lucas' mind right now. He wanted to tell the truth but he couldn't because there was a treaty already bound."Lucifer …"One name immediately made Lucas' eyes roll in surprise, looking at Howl. His heart was beating fast along with a burning hot feeling in his throat. Cold sweats run wild, when his body feels a terrible shock.Lucas couldn't resist the feeling of going
Sungjae tries to think of things he remembers deep in his brain. The case Anna just explained seemed familiar and had heard it somewhere. "Is it possible this is an unnatural murder case …?" asked Sungjae."Oh! How did you know?" Anna asked—surprised."How could I not know? The news was very much talked about. But it's strange that it's like drowning. I feel like the police are covering up the case. Huff … What about the fate of the families of the victims? I really don't trust the police," said Sungjae.Anna is silent for a while staring at Sungjae who is so concerned about the murder case. She didn't think that Sungjae, who was not interested in humans and the world, turned out to have misjudged Sungjae."Actually, I'm one of the team members respon

"Look! I told you, she's not cooperative. You better find another replacement before your time is up!" Jeoseungsaja said in an upset tone criticizing Howl's choice to defend Anna."Can't you just shut up!" Howl was annoyed with Jeoseungsaja's ego's attitude that kept him in the corner making the situation even more complicated.Seeing Howl's resentment made Jeoseungsaja only able to stand still while staring cynically at Howl, who was still on Anna's side."I want a shower? Where is my room?" asked Jeoseungsaja.Howl almost loses his temper against two creatures who can't grow up, don't want him mouth to emit harsh words, Howl only shows his hand towards Jeoseungsaja's room."Ah … There. Okay! Uh … I want to take a shower …!" said Jeoseungsaja who seemed happy to be impatient to enjoy his free time after being tired of working as a reaper.It seems that he is the only one who can still continue the investigation into the unnatural murder case that currently has another death toll. How
"I know," said Jeoseungsaja, looking relaxed after what happened. He even seemed happy, enjoying a glass of chamomile tea and a piece of egg tart. Jeoseungsaja seemed indifferent to death. When humans think of death as terrible, yet not with the reaper. "Whoa … I can't really say I saw him. How at times he seems relaxed. Someone's dead, but he's sitting around enjoying a cup of tea? Seriously?!" murmured Anna, who could not understand the figure of an angel of death. "Let it go. You just can't understand and you don't have to try to understand it," Howl said, trying to calm Anna, who may soon attack Jeoseungsaja if she doesn't act. Anna could only breathe—holding her patience at the end of her head that gave off white smoke. Right now he's burdened with guilt about the death of someone she could have prevented. But death is inevitable until she unknowingly vents her anger on others. "Why are you so angry? Do you know the woman?" asked Jeoseungsaja while putting the cup back on the
