The mother questioned her family during dinner, Sujirou was outside at the barn. The mother questioned where the bandages were and the rest of the rice were. As the family were discusiing the older brother had a sense that the stranger from before that killed the policeman was here with Sujirou and Sujirou was helping him. Hearing the older brother's prediction, the father yelled with rage, "Sujirou!!!"

Sujirou was on the barn, staring at the sword the stranger lended him. Shaking he placed the sword under a stack of hay to hide it away from the others, hearing his father yelling he pulled out to see what was going on and he found his dad and his brother's in front of him carrying a shovel, and the older brother his sword. The sister and the mother and the younger brother, stood outside of the barn. The father slammed Sujirou with his shovel and Sujirou fell to the ground and was bleeding.

Father: You idiot Sujirou!!

Older Brother: Let me kill him dad!! The older brother pulled and his sword and grinned, "Who's smiling now, huh brat?"

Seeing this, Sujirou screamed helplessly and ran away, behind the stack of hay where he left his sword under. 'someone…help me…please…' Sujirou thought to himself. The older brother was running after Sujirou and stood right in front of him. Sujirou repeated this to him self aloud, "the strong live…the weak…die…" His anger was realeased and a scream echoed through the barn. The father was startled and ran where his son was, all he found was a head of his now dead son. Sujirou held out the sword the stranger lended him, and he smiled, staring at the older brother's head on the ground, blood was splattered on his head and he lifted his head staring at father.

Father: Curse you child! Now I'm going to kill you myself! The other family member agreed and prepared to kill Sujirou

Mother: Stupid child! I knew you were nothing but trouble!

Sister: I'm going to choke you…

Younger brother: You were always worthless in our family.

Sujirou repeated the same thing , "the strong live and the weak….die.." Sujirou's vision blurred and all he could hear were different tones of screams. Before he knew it, on the very ground, was his family's heads, on the ground, with their bodies left. He muttered to himself, "the weak….die.."

The stranger entered the barn and noticed Sujirou standing motionless staring at the dead corpses.

Stranger: Are you crying? Sujirou turned over to him, and a smile was on his face, "No" He spoke.

Stranger: I'm going to leave, do you wish to come with me? He lended a hand to the broken child. Sujirou nodded, "yes…" Sujirou began thinking of what the stranger had told him before, "After all, in this world the food of the strong is the flesh of the weak…" The two disappeared.
