Chapter 342: Chapter 342. Purpose

[The Black Saint|7 April -2019|Act 6|Scene 7|Take 1]

"Can I ask you a question?"

Kai asked without taking his eyes off the comic book that he was reading. It was early morning and there was no one else in the shop. It had just opened up 5 minutes ago. 

"Go on." The shop owner replied, feeling it a bit strange as Kai was often silent. He was one of those customers that won't talk much but would often buy comic books. 

"What is your purpose in life?"

"That's a strange question."

"I know it is."

Kai said as a matter of fact. The comic book store owner looked at him for a while and thought about the question. After a while, he opened his mouth. 

"Honestly, I used to think that it was taking care of my wife. But I am divorced now. Selling comics is not enough of an answer, is it?"
