At this moment, the doubts in Levi's heart were once again laid bare.
If he could not learn the truth from Kenny's own mouth, then the truth would be buried forever.
The Secret of His Origins
What exactly was the relationship between Kenny Ackerman and Levi Ackerman?
"What exactly... were you to my mother?"
Levi asked uneasily.
The worst possible outcome was likely the one he had already suspected.
At that moment, Kenny smiled.
"Nothing much. I was just her older brother."
"Then why did you leave me behind?" Since he had chosen to adopt him, why had he fled halfway through? Perhaps Levi had always been unable to let go of this. He had believed that he had been abandoned yet again.
Kenny's body was growing weaker and weaker.
"I... wasn't cut out to be a parent."
For a man who had always lived recklessly and without restraint, raising a child was indeed a troublesome thing. Perhaps at first, Kenny had truly treated Levi like a puppy or kitten, thinking he only needed to toss him some food now and then. But gradually, perhaps a different kind of feeling had grown in the depths of his heart—something resembling family.
That feeling left Kenny at a loss, so he chose an extreme way to solve the problem.
He left without saying goodbye.
Kenny forcefully stuffed the box into Levi's arms.
"Kenny."
After that, Kenny drew his final breath. He had truly left this world and would never wake again.
There would no longer be a Kenny the Ripper in this world.
The sunlight still shone down as gently as ever, but Kenny had already become a corpse.
For him, this world had come to an end.
