Suddenly, we are shown Haiku rushing towards Emma's room. Without wasting even a second, he grabs the doorknob and opens the door abruptly.
However, the moment he steps inside, he freezes.
There is nobody there.
The room is completely empty, and everything seems to be just as it was before.
Angel comes running behind him, slightly out of breath. Looking at his worried expression, she immediately asks, "What happened? Why did you suddenly rush here?"
Haiku turns towards her and explains, "I had specifically asked the doctor to install a sensor beside Emma's bed.
The sensor is connected to my watch. If anyone touches her bed whose fingerprints aren't registered in the sensor, my watch gives me a slight electric shock as an alert. That way, I'll immediately know if someone has entered her room without permission."
He pauses for a moment before continuing.
"And the same thing happened a little while ago. My watch gave me a slight shock, which means someone must have touched her bed. But when I came here, there was nobody. And there's no way the sensor could be malfunctioning. I made sure everything was working properly."
Angel looks around the room, trying to understand what might have happened.
Just then, the doctor approaches them.
"Haiku, you shouldn't open the door so suddenly. Emma needs proper rest.
Please don't create unnecessary disturbances around her room. Let her sleep peacefully."
Hearing the doctor's words, Haiku lowers his head. He doesn't argue and quietly walks away.
As he comes out, his eyes fall on Jaku, who is standing nearby.
His expression immediately changes.
"What are you doing here? Have you gone crazy? Emma already told you not to come here, didn't she? Don't you have even a little sense? Leave this place immediately!"
Jaku doesn't seem frightened by his anger. Instead, she steps forward and grabs him by the collar.
"You might love her, but my brother loved her too! What's so strange about that? Do you think love simply disappears from this world? I know that wherever my brother is right now, he still loves her. And I've already told you this before. Emma is my sister first!"
Her words leave Haiku silent for a moment.
Angel immediately steps forward and pulls Jaku away from him.
"She's only thirteen years old, and you're already over twenty! Don't you understand anything? You know about her past, don't you? You know what she's been through. Then why are you troubling her like this? Can't you understand that she needs peace right now?"
Jaku finally calms down.
She looks at Haiku again, but this time there is no anger in her eyes.
She approaches him and quietly apologises.
"I'm sorry. I'm leaving now. Maybe you're right. Perhaps she really does need some peace."
After saying this, Jaku turns around and walks away.
Meanwhile, we are shown Angel's mother, who has rushed to the hospital after hearing about Emma's condition.
The moment she arrives, she notices Haiku standing there.
Without even asking what happened, she walks straight towards him and slaps him hard across the face.
"Didn't I tell you to take care of her? Are you out of your mind? Can't you do even one thing properly? I trusted you with her responsibility, and this is how you're looking after her?"
Her anger is clearly visible on her face.
Before anyone can react, she turns towards Angel and slaps her as well.
"Didn't I tell you earlier to keep Emma away from all these things? How many times do I have to repeat myself? She's the last memory of my sister that I have left! She's all I have! What exactly is your problem? Why are you all trying to take her away from me? Why can't you understand that I don't want to lose her too?"
Her voice becomes louder with every passing second. All the fear and frustration she has been holding inside finally come pouring out.
Just then, the doctor approaches them.
"Emma has regained consciousness.
She's asking for Haiku."
The moment Haiku hears this, he immediately tries to rush towards Emma's room.
However, the people around him stop him from going any further.
He keeps trying to move forward, but everyone holds him back.
Just then, Tamayo and Siddharth arrive.
Kuro immediately steps forward and pushes them away from Haiku, preventing them from getting closer.
Tamayo loses her patience.
"Let him go! Do you even understand what love means? Just look at his eyes!
Can't you see what's going on inside him? He's not angry with anyone else.
He's only blaming himself for everything. He's already suffering because of what happened, and you raised your hand against him without even knowing the truth!"
She takes a breath and continues, her voice filled with frustration.
"Do you have even a little common sense? What do you actually know about him? You don't know anything! I can tell you that you don't even know half of what Emma and I know about him. You have no idea what they've been through together or what he has done for her. I'm telling you for the last time. Let him go!"
Finally, everyone steps aside.
Haiku doesn't waste another second.
He runs straight towards Emma's room.
The moment he reaches her bed, his legs give way, and he falls to his knees right in front of her.
He looks at her, and all the emotions he has been trying to control finally overwhelm him.
He wants to say so many things.
He wants to tell her how much he loves her, how terrified he was when he thought he might lose her, and how helpless he felt while waiting outside her room.
But even now, he doesn't have enough courage to confess his feelings.
His eyes fill with tears. He keeps looking at Emma, but not a single word comes out of his mouth.
Emma notices his condition and gently gestures for him to come closer.
She reaches out her hand and holds his.
"Nothing is going to happen, okay? I'll get better soon. After all, I still have my revenge to take, don't I?"
Haiku looks at her with tearful eyes.
"Nothing will happen to you. And there won't be any revenge either. I'm disbanding the entire gang."
Emma's expression immediately changes.
"You won't do that! If you disband the gang, I'll give up on my own life."
Haiku looks at her helplessly.
"Then do it. Anyway, you're suffering every single day. Instead of going through all that pain again and again, you'll be free of it."
Emma shakes her head, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Just give me one chance. This time, I'll take my medicines on time. I promise.
And if possible, please let Angel stay with me. I want her beside me. Please, Haiku."
Haiku tightens his grip on her hand.
"There's no last chance this time. If this happens again, you won't survive. Do you understand? I won't be able to watch you go through this again."
Emma starts crying.
"I wasn't taking my medicines properly.
That's why all this happened. I'll take them on time now. I'll listen to the doctor. I'll do everything properly. Just please, let me continue running the gang. I'm begging you!"
She keeps pleading with him, desperately trying to change his decision.
For a moment, Haiku looks away. He cannot bear to see her crying like this, but at the same time, he is terrified of what might happen if he agrees.
Just then, the doctor approaches them.
She looks at Haiku and says, "Please, try to explain things to her. She needs to understand how important her health is."
Haiku turns towards the doctor, almost as if asking her to help him convince Emma.
However, the doctor sighs before speaking.
"Perhaps this was my mistake. Maybe I scared you a little too much by saying that she could die."
She looks at Emma and then continues explaining.
"Listen, I'm not saying that nothing can happen to you. If you continue putting yourself under excessive stress and neglecting your health, your condition could become dangerous again. But there's something else you should understand. Your condition is actually improving. That's why I wanted you to avoid every possible source of stress. I don't want all your progress to go to waste."
She pauses before looking towards Haiku.
"However, fine. I'm giving permission this time. But remember, this is the last time I'm making an exception. Emma will have to come for a check-up every single week. I want to monitor her condition regularly. She must take her medicines on time, follow the treatment properly, and avoid unnecessary stress. There will be no compromises regarding her health."
Emma immediately responds.
"I'll come. I promise."
The doctor nods.
"Then that's fine. But remember, this is your last chance. Don't take your health lightly again."
Emma quietly nods.
Haiku is still sitting beside her bed, holding her hand. Although he hasn't completely relaxed, at least he knows that Emma has agreed to follow the doctor's instructions.
Everyone slowly begins to calm down.
However, while everyone is busy discussing her recovery, something completely different is happening inside Emma's mind.
Her tears have stopped, and her expression has become strangely calm.
She looks at Haiku and silently thinks to herself.
Haiku...
I'm going to destroy you.
And all of you who stand against me, my enemies, listen carefully.
I'm coming back.
Yes, I'm coming back, and this time, I won't spare you.
You took my sister away from me. You made my life miserable, and you are the reason I'm living in this condition today.
I'll finish you. I won't forget what you've done to me.
She continues looking at Haiku, but she doesn't say any of those words aloud.
For now, everyone believes Emma is finally recovering.
But nobody knows that behind her tears and promises, the desire for revenge is still burning.
And perhaps, her return will bring a storm that nobody is prepared for.
