10. DESTINY
(Spoilers up to chapter 54)
Tamaki taught me that every man chooses his own destiny. He should walk his talk.
The moment he decided to save his mother, he renounced control of his own.
That idiot sometimes thinks himself Romeo and sometimes Mother Teresa and always forgets to watch for his own interests. It's pathetic. If I were him, I would have never created this Club.
If I were in his shoes, I would have strived to please that sphinx of a grandmother until she publicly announced me as a heir. And then I would have returned to France.
Of course, if he had done that, I would have never stepped out of my frame.
I would have never learned to manipulate the desires and the needs of the designators.
I would have only met passive, fussy little ladies, instead of getting to know Haruhi the brutal commoner.
If Tamaki hadn't crucified his destiny, I wouldn't even have one.
The Ootoris do not owe favors to anyone.
This is a physical need.
It's stronger than sleeping and eating and breathing the fresh air of Fontainebleau.
That's why I won't stop – I can't stop – until I find – redeem – his mother.
Partly to thank her.
And partly to have her help me give Tamaki back his destiny – and his favors.
