Synopsis[]

Leo is a gangster who was saved by Rita from death. Rita is a young girl who was about to sacrifice herself for Margo to be saved, but Leo saved Rita from dying.

Plot[]

A long time ago, there was a civil war. Leo and his group were fighting and his group lost. Leo was shot and fainted but the girl named Rita saved him and she brought him to a church. Leo woke up in the church to see the girl. He pointed a gun at her before they introduced each other. Leo wonders why Rita was so calm so he told her that he's a gang member but Rita says that she does not care who she save, it's more important that she saved Leo. The church's Father came and he told Rita that Mr. Mendel was there waiting downstairs. He asked Leo if he wanted to join, explaining that Rita found a foster home. He also mentioned how Rita was left in front of church when she was a baby and that because of this she tries to be useful to others. Leo remembered that he lost his parents and he wonders "Why were we born? For what purpose?" and then he saw a vision of his gang telling him "We were born to die." Mr. Mendel showed the picture of her daughter named Margo to Rita and he told her that she was the new sister of Margo. He told her that she was born with a condition to which Rita replied that she would do anything to help.

Mr. Mendel told the father that Rita was a good girl and and he explained the way for Margo to be healed. He said Rita was the only hope, which Rita overheard. Father saw Rita in front of the door and he knew that she was listening. He told him that if she dies, Margo will be saved. He said to her that it was her last night to live to be alive. Leo went upstairs after thanking her. Rita asked Leo "Why do you think I was born to this world?"

Leo came out and he asked if he sold Rita for money and the Father said "She was just a tool to make money from the beginning."

Leo punched him and said "Don't mess with the girl who saved my life!" Leo leaves the Father while he is lying down and he asked Mr. Mendel where Rita was and told him to bring Rita back. Mr. Mendel told him he bought that girl and Leo said "If life can be bought with money then try to buying your own!" and Leo took out the money from Mr. Mendel and threw it, causing the people nearby to scramble to pick up the money. He came back to Rita and he told her that he was going to leave — not to take revenge. Rita said she wants to live too. They went to the home where Rita's family is. Mr. Mendel went to his home and he asked forgiveness from Margo who replied, "There is a meaning to live and each of us gets to decide." She then told to him that she wants to write a story. A story about how each person's life has meaning.
