18 - Flurry
There is someone he wants to protect.
Mother yes, the girl he loves yes, his sister yes. He can do that with these fists. He can make something with these fists. He make a safer world with these fists.
Akaza has much to repent for, he knows, but the thrill of combat, the chase of life is still boiling within him.
So admittedly, he does use this opportunity to go out and fight. It lets his sister walk to school safely, his mother sleep easier. There is no Father here to keep them safe. So he will do it. He is young to this world but he will do it.
He is behind by his own making.
