Mond was nervous, in a cold sweat, maybe it was the fact that he wore more clothes than usual, or that he had taken a high dose of suppressants, or the fear he had of the truth, maybe it was a mixture of all that…

No matter the answer, I know I'm not going to feel good about any of them, I don't want to be the father of those kids, not in a situation like this, but just thinking that Faux could be the father makes me feel very uncomfortable, but why?

Mond was still lost in thought, sitting at a table in a far corner of the Diner, just waiting for Sonne, Faux or even the twins so he could probe a little.

To his relief the third option was the one that came first, the two children smilingly entered the cafeteria with a lady and quickly ran to Mond .

"You're the guy from the other day, aren't you?" said one of them.

"Yes," replied Mond , a little awkwardly.

Now that he could take a closer look, the kids really looked like Sonne , they had the same smile and the same hair, but he couldn't identify any trace of himself or Faux in them...

"Thank you for hiding us the other day, when we have to come here, there's never anyone to play with, it's always very boring" continued the girl

"Your father doesn't let you play in here?" Mond asked at the first opportunity, without being afraid to be direct, after all they are only children.

"Oh, we don't have a father" said the boy quickly "Mom says we need to obey Uncle Faux when we're here and he won't let us play so we don't upset the customers, so annoying" he continued huffing.

"It's so boring" completed the sister also huffing.

"Sorry" said Mond a little embarrassed "I thought Faux was your father."

Both looked at each other and laughed.

"No, silly boy Faux is…"

Before the girl could complete the lady who had arrived with them interrupted: 

"Children, what have we talked to you about disturbing customers?" she looked quickly at Mond and his suspicious appearance and quickly pulled the twins away "I'm sorry sir."

The lady must have been in her forties, Mond thought it could be some of Sonne 's aunt or mother, as the woman also looked like him.

"But he's our friend," muttered the girl as she was dragged away.

"He's our friend," the boy agreed.

But Mond couldn't hear anymore, those thoughts and that anguish only grew, an overwhelming guilt tightened his chest, that nightmare would never end the fruit of his monstrous behavior was walking around, or rather fruits, how could he live with himself now? He already felt like crap for everything that had happened and now with two children involved that he had abandoned!

It was 5 years… 5 years without a father's love, without the presence of the one who should have been there to care for and protect. How did Sonne manage to support two children by himself? Was that why he never engaged in his music career despite being so talented? Keep singing in small bars at night so you can be with the kids during the day...

Mond 's mind was in chaos and his eyes if they weren't covered by his contact lenses would be glowing a deep blue, the color of sadness for him.

A few hours passed until Sonne finally arrived with Faux at the cafeteria, they were in a romantic mood full of smiles and hugs, seeing that Mond who was already deeply lost in guilt and sadness, was now also dominated by anger.

Mond got up suddenly, knocking the table over with a great crash, he walked with long and heavy steps towards Sonne who looked at him scared and said in a scary voice:

"We need to talk!"

At the same time , Faux took Sonne 's front and opened his arms to bar the way.

"I told you to stay away, but it seems you didn't hear me!" Said Faux fiercely .

"I don't owe you anything, Faux , I need to talk to Sonne ." Mond said coldly "Please get out of my way, I'm not here to hurt anyone."

"It's not what it looks like!" Faux said looking nervous.

Sonne looked on, not understanding what kind of situation this was.

"Are you the alpha of the bar?" Asked Sonne confused "Wait, do you know each other?"

"Go inside Sonne, I'll take care of it" said Faux quickly "It could be dangerous if he loses control again."

"I know what it looks like, but I just came here to talk!" Mond said calmly "I need to talk to Sonne."

"If you need to talk so badly, talk" Faux said brusquely.

"Faux, who is he? What the hell is going on?" Sonne said pulling Faux out of her way.

Taking advantage of this gap Mond made a desperate act, he knew it was dangerous, but even so he needed to make everything clear as soon as possible, so he took off his cap and mask revealing his face that despite being a little pale with nervousness still it was extremely handsome.

At the same moment Sonne stopped pulling Faux, because his arms lost strength, his mouth opened, but the words didn't come out, he seemed to face a ghost right there in front of him.

"Let's talk Sonne" said Mond putting on his cap and mask again "I'm outside waiting for you."

Sonne stood still for a while without any kind of action, still trying to digest the whole situation, but then he went after Mond .

"Don't go, it's dangerous," said Faux , holding Sonne 's arm .

"Don't follow me, please," Sonne said, letting go and leaving the cafeteria.

Mond was leaning against the wall near the door looking up at the sky apparently distracted when he heard the door slam.

"You came …"  Before he could complete his sentence, Sonne's hand hit him in the face with such anger that even with the mask covering his cheek, he could hear the snap of the hand going against Mond 's face .

"Who do you think you are to appear like that?" cried Sonne .

Mond looked at Sonne not knowing how to respond, after all who was he in Sonne's life? He was the guy who did immense harm and then disappeared without taking responsibility, he was just a ghost from the past that came to haunt the good life Sonne had built without him… He was all bad, why insist on coming back?

The cold night wind shook Sonne's long red hair and he looked at Mond with a weeping expression waiting for an answer that didn't come. They stared at each other for a long time until Mond started walking and motioned for Sonne to follow.

"Let's walk a little, cool down so we can talk." said Mond softly.

"Okay" Sonne said.

They walked for about 15 minutes until they reached a nearby park, Mond sat on a bench and Sonne accompanied him by sitting next to him.

"What do you want from me?" Sonne said anxiously.

"I just want to talk."

"To talk? You disappear for 5 years, without a warning, a message, a call, a sms, NOTHING! In fact, You left me a fucking two-word note with a strange person who didn't explain what the fuck was going on. And now how does the ghost you were just reappear like this?" he pointed to Mond 's clothes "What is this? Why are you dressed like this?"

"I'm sorry" Mond said, holding Sonne's hands and looking deeply into his eyes.

"It's hard to take you seriously like that!" Sonne said releasing her hands and looking away "All I see is a bunch of clothes, I feel like I'm talking to the pile of clothes in my room and not a person."

"I'm sorry, but it's safer that way."

"Right…" Sonne said rolling her eyes .

The two continued in that awkward silence, no questions, no looks, just the sound of the wind and the glow of the crescent moon. After a long pause Mond decided to speak.

"So… The twins…" Mond said nervously, his deep voice was trembling and his fingers moved nervously against each other as if in a silent fight.

"What?" Sonne said surprised "What about them?"

"They… They're mine, aren't they?"

"Yours? How so, yours?" Sonne looked more and more confused.

"My children" spat Mond.

Sonne looked at Mond in disbelief and started to laugh, he laughed loud and hard, laughed so hard that his eyes began to water and his cheeks turned red.

"You are hilarious Mond, you disappear for years without any news and now you come to tell me that you fuck my mother too?"

"What?" said Mond with even greater panic.

"The twins are my siblings; they can only be your children if you slept with my mother hahaha" Sonne laughed and for some reason now he felt lighter.

'Ah… I thought… They look so much like you… And their age… I saw them calling you mother…" Mond said, lowering his head and hitting his forehead, he huffed a long breath and stood up "I'm sorry!"

"For what exactly?" Sonne said looking cynically, her gaze was full of irony and hurt "For having appeared out of nowhere and made an unnecessary scandal? For sleeping with me and then disappearing from the face of the earth the next day? Or what happened at the bar?"

 "For everything… I didn't want to have done any of this with you" Mond 's voice was loaded with guilt.

"Ah Mond , you liar!" Sonne said aggressively "You always wanted to do this to me! You always wanted to touch me, your body always reacted to mine! But I never thought you were such a coward!"

"It wasn't supposed to happen, much less like that, I'm sorry!"

"I can't forgive you Mond, do you know how long it took for me to gather all the pieces of mine that you broke? Now do you think a simple apology will make everything okay? Do you think I should accept your apology and clear your conscience just because you asked so kindly?"

"You're right, it was a mistake I came after you. It won't happen again" Mond said walking away.

"Wait" Sonne grabbed Mond 's arm tightly "Why did you leave?"
