Chapter 6

"No, that's beside the point. Looking back, I wish I had taken more time to consider my actions before committing to them."
Blaming fate seemed easier to him than accepting responsibility. While he had been an exceptional student before, he had let himself be swayed by his friends and lost sight of his goals. Did he really, now? Or maybe that was just a rumor.
His parents had pinned their hopes on him achieving top marks, but unfortunately, he failed completely which was the exact opposite of their expectations.
"I often find myself yearning for a peaceful end," he whispered, lost in thought.
"But sometimes I wonder, have I truly lived a life deserving of such a serene departure?"
His heart ached for the tranquility that had eluded him for so long. He longed for a respite, but the weight of his past actions weighed heavily on his soul.
He had been subjected to severe bullying and coercion, which had a profound impact on his mental health. Unfortunately, this culminated in the tragic and unthinkable act of taking the lives of his own parents when he was just 16 years old, again, did he now? Or was it yet another rumor?
Although he had been condemned to death, his situation was complicated by the fact that he had a younger sister to care for. In light of this, his sentence was commuted to a decade of imprisonment.
However, he fell deeper into the criminal world and tragically ended up taking the life of his only remaining family member - his loving sister. The court, taking into account the severity of his repeated violent actions, issued a death sentence without delay.
In his final moments, he made a request to the authorities to grant him one last wish. He asked for a one-month reprieve before his execution.
The request for a one-month reprieve from his death sentence would normally be rejected due to concerns of escape, but his father's friend, who held a high position in the judiciary, managed to convince the authorities to grant the request.
The circumstances surrounding his father's friend's decision to assist a convicted murderer were unclear and left the court perplexed. Many questions remained unanswered. Nonetheless, justice was served and the law was upheld, despite any potential interference from outside parties questioning the corrupt justice system.
