BIA Ch. 74
Isaiah got out of the car and immediately crossed the street. As he opened the door to the bar and went inside, thick cigarette smoke greeted him. Through the smoke, he could see a few regulars, drunkards, sitting at their usual spots, drinking beer and vodka and chatting. As always, no one gave Isaiah a second glance. Isaiah walked up to the bar and ordered a Roy Rogers right away. The middle-aged man who owned the bar and was also the bartender glanced at Isaiah’s face, then spoke without stopping…-

BIA Ch. 73
Even when faced with a gun pointed at him, Bran didn't seem surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "You had bullets left?" Only then did Isaiah remember that Bran had been the one who emptied his gun case. Seeing that there weren't any spare bullets, he must have roughly guessed the KTW bullet supply situation on this side. "Want to check?" Instead of relaxing his stance, Isaiah gripped his gun even tighter. It was to show that he had the grip safety engaged. Bran looked at Isaiah and…-

“What, why are you throwing it away?” “I don’t take pills.” He spat out the words curtly and flopped onto the bed. Then, feeling uncomfortable in his clothes, he got up again. Taking off his coat and then the jacket he was wearing underneath, Isaiah asked Chester, “You bought this outfit too, right?” “You know it well.” Chester puffed up his chest, acting smug. “Who would wear clothes like this except for you.” Isaiah tossed the discarded jacket into the wooden…-

“I told you to bring cash.” “Who carries cash these days?” “Useless.” Isaiah clicked his tongue and went into the apartment building first. “What, you can just pay with the fee included!” Manny grumbled from behind, as if he felt wronged for being cursed at. The taxi driver loudly wished Isaiah a good night, not Manny. “Hey, you’re back, right?” Manny shouted, running into the building as soon as the fare was paid. Instead of answering, Isaiah silently went up the…-

“You son of a bitch, wanna die?” The driver of the car that honked hurled insults as he passed. Behind him, cars whizzed by, cutting through the dark road. As if pushed, Isaiah retreated to the shoulder of the road, forgetting to catch his breath, and habitually patted his back pocket. His gun was gone. “Shit…” No wonder the back of his thigh felt empty when he was running. Even while cursing, Isaiah calmly patted himself down again. But the gun was nowhere to be found. Not even…-

The man had pulled his hat down low, obscuring his face. He wore a black jacket over a gray hoodie, and the moment Isaiah saw that very common gray hoodie, he felt a strange thump in his chest, like his heart had dropped. “What’s wrong?” Bran asked, noticing the subtle change in his expression. “No. It’s nothing.” Isaiah tried to sound nonchalant as he sliced his sandwich. In the meantime, the man shuddered and headed to the counter. Afraid of making eye contact with him, Isaiah…-

“How is it? Pretty cool, right?” Bona said, showing the completed tattoo in the mirror. As she had promised, the finished product was a hundred times better than the sketch. “You can shower, but don’t rub it too hard. If you apply oil or moisturizing cream often, it’ll last longer.” While generously applying soothing cream, Bona told him about a few other precautions he should take. She especially emphasized several times that he should be careful when sleeping on the first day, as…-

“When you come to a tourist spot, you get a little excited. You end up doing things you wouldn’t normally do.” “It’s like a brief escape. I think that’s the virtue of a vacation, in many ways.” What should I do? Isaiah started to worry. He had only planned to take a quick look around and leave, but after talking with Bona, he somehow felt like he was leaning more and more towards doing it… should I do it, wouldn’t it be okay to do it? “The procedure depends on the design, but…-

BIA Ch. 66
“Why all of a sudden?” Bran asked, taking off his suit jacket. Isaiah, after a moment of hesitation, made up an excuse. “Just because. I saw you at yesterday’s service, and you seemed to know the prayer book well.” The reason he didn’t say it was because of the tattoo was that Bran didn’t seem to like the topic. Yesterday, it felt like he had subtly stopped him from reading it. “Cedric is quite a devout Protestant. Most of the other members, except for me, are…-
