He'd been used to the cruelty.

When the rest of the world became aware of what kind of power he holds, they treated him like an outcast – an alien of sort. Being passed around like a basketball was nauseating; organization to organization, family to family. It hurts, knowing that you're alone living in the cruel reality with no-one to turn to but yourself. He had always lived like that. For him, it became a never-ending cycle because he is a freak to the society. Too smart for his age, too strongfor his age.

And so, as he grew up, he buried the burden for being extra-ordinary in his mind. He became distant to the rest of the world and sees it as nothing interesting.

However...

"One day, you'll find people who will rely on you and who you can rely on."

That woman, Canaria, the one who he sees as an equal, a mentor and –as much as he hates it—a mother, told him these words with such confidence that it will happen in the near future. He being doubtful was an understandment. He was used to being alone, after all. For him, there's no such things as that happening to him.

But, as usual, she was right. He should have been used to her uncanny skill to see through future.

Little Garden happend and right then, he met the No Name Community who was stripped of its former glory.

He found friends. Ojou-sama, Kasukabe, the whole Community, Jin, and Kuro Usagi...

They must have been the people Canaria had been talking about.

And then he felt it. The feeling of being relied on... It was refreshing. It means that they trust him to do what he can in every situation he'd been thrusted in. No matter hard it is, they know he can scourge through with the littlest effort.

That's how they knew him; Sakamaki Izayoi. Annoying, pervert, stubborn, and head-strong but, he puts everyone else above him. Because at last, he may have found another family to care for.

That's why, everyone in No Name—along with the two problem children—they promised they'll be around when he needs them, just like how he is to them.
