    Summary

    Another silence. Millie hears his footsteps retreating, coming to a stop when they’re a certain distance away, though like this, Millie has no way of telling. He does speak again after a pause, voice distinctly further away now, but still audible.

    “What I want isn’t to speak with Vash the Stampede,” the man says. “I intend to kill him.”

    “You—”

    “Quiet! You couldn’t understand,” he snaps. “That man—that monster—took everything from me—my home, my family… He would have blown me to bits if he’d had the opportunity! The least he can do is answer with his life, and yet he refuses any kind of justice! I won’t stand for it any longer!”

    His home, his family… Millie swallows as realisation dawns. “You’re from July.”
