You are a bastard. There is nothing else to you call you, but a bastard. Going on and on, saying there is no way of saving him. If you're so hell-bent on keeping him, you better remember fast. Or I'm just going to kick the crap out of you, to do so.
"Gareki?"
Shifting my glare to a more neutral look before looking to the smaller kid.
"Yeah?"
"Did we lose the game?"
"More I did, not you."
"Oh." Saying with a small smile.
"Gareki, a word."
Great, more shit from mister four-eyes.
"I'll be right back, maybe we can play another game or something."
Nai just nods his head in happiness. Good for him.
"Gareki?"
"What?"
"Would you like to explain yourself after yesterday?"
"Nope." Saying without much care, relaxing in the chair that rested in front of Hirato desk.
Enjoying the somewhat well-kept face of calmness was slowly breaking.
"I have no doubt you heard of what . . . "
"Don't say that man's name in front me. Not after that."
Hirato leans back in his seat, his top hat covering little of his eyes.
"What said is said, there is no way for it to be remove. And for what he said is true. The more of a reason to help him to remember."
"Yet it could be too late." Crossing my arms as I said those words.
Only more thinking of ways to torment that man more.
"Yes, maybe. But do you think Nai would notice?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nai, being who he is. Would not understand death or change. Only things before him and used."
"Where are you going with this?"
"Nai's body is not whole from what . . . his caretaker told us. All more of a reason to fix it."
"And how?"
"Hope Karoku remembers before them and keep Nai in the dark. For now."
Close to standing up in rage, before he added the last two words.
"Nai trust you as must as him."
"So?"
"Make him trust himself and his future, for whatever it may be."
"When you ever kind to anyone?"
"Oh, I want something out of this as well. But we're not far down the road for it. So I will be waiting on Nai and his caretaker to show signs of when it's time."
Another bastard to add to the list. Joy.
With that all being said, leaving seem to be good choice. Only to find Nai not in the waiting room. Seeing one of the sheep and asking where he was, very easy for my behalf.
