Loved Gun

There's more to the work of a hitman than meets the eye, as frail but deadly veteran Maruyama has learnt over many years of professional practise. The emotions of the gunman are so closely linked to the act of killing that they colour his bullets (literally) as they leave the gun. A bullet will be black if fired in revenge, blue if in sadness, yellow if in fear. There is one colour Maruyama hasn't quite figured out yet, though, and the question of what emotion produces red bullets is tied to a contemplative exploration of the moral universe of a gunman and, as we shall discover, to Maruyama's ultimate fate.
