Summary
When a plant such as mimosa pudica is touched, its leaves will close and fold in on themselves. It may even look sick or dead. After a short time, the plant will go back to normal and open back up. It is unknown why plants like mimosa pudica developed this behavior, though research suggests it is a defense mechanism against being eaten or destroyed.

Summary
Since that fateful day in the village, the fire was all he had ever had. It raged inside of him, turning hotter, its cinders sharp to the touch. The fire that scarred his hands as he held onto his mother's flaming corpse. The fire that burnt everything he had, his childhood, his future, his culture. It kept on burning until it consumed him.
He dropped the dagger. Not anymore.

Kid’s body was found immediately. Since he had no family and the brand of a terrorist, he was cremated and ashes thrown in the trash. That’s what Tiger heard.
But he swears he’s being haunted, Kid is still here, in the corner of his eye.

Her screams echo in his mind but in his heart he hears the soft murmur of his name leaving her lips. He dare not speak it let alone think his name. For his mother was the last to speak it. Without her he’s nobody. Just some lost kid.

Thats what he refers to himself as ever since that day.

Summary
“Yeah, I mean,” Alphonso mutters, more resigned than worried, “you don’t exactly get fired from a gang, so let’s just say I’ve been trying to lay low. Had to leave my place, but I'm getting by, cashing in some favors from old friends.”
“How’s that going for you?” the Kid asks, feeling guilty.
Alphonso takes a golden lighter out of his front pocket, not to smoke but to fidget with. With a click, fire, then another, nothing.
“Well, I’m running out of favors,” he confides with a shrug.

Kid survives. Alphonso escapes with his life. Both have yet to live.
