Geikyō watches his daughter through the mirror, as she fiddles with charm of the necklace which he cannot see, as she glances out the tinted windows and wrings her fingers together, as she grips the hem of her skirt and avoided looking at anywhere but at him. He sighs, glances at his driver Sasaki, and speaks up.
"If you're concerned about Kōki, I've had someone look after her." He looks away, "An old associate of mine who works at the Hayashi Clinic had treated a similar quirk before and knows how to handle it. She will soon be transferred there, you can visit her when you want."
His daughter didn't respond. Instead her fingers twirl around the silver chain of her necklace and grips at the charm, a sign that she is either nervous, scared, or thinking. Her face is passive, calm but the tension still bleeds out a little, so Geikyō left her be.
Akemi reminds him so much of himself, sometimes. She is already so much better at hiding her emotions than him when he was her age, and it somewhat pains him to use her as he is. But he has no choice.
Humans are such pathetic creatures, they think themselves to be better than others, when there's no difference. The strong prays on the weak, and those who does not change and evolve are eliminated. They harm and destroy one another for their own advantage, even brothers, sisters, and children.
The world is not kind, and Geikyō knows that better than anyone else. He was born with everything and nothing. And there is nothing he would not give to survive in this world, to stop being a piece but a player, to emerge from the ocean and live.
Even his child.
He looks out the window, and at the slowly fading light from the sun reflecting onto his glasses from the buildings. He sighs and slips the spectacles off, gently cleaning them with a piece of cloth. When he puts them on again, he glances back to his daughter, and found her slumped against the seat, slowly beginning to nod off with her fingers clasped around her necklace.
Geikyo's gaze locks onto the small charm, and for the first time in may years, he recognizes it. Wrapped in wire inside a cage locket, a small piece of red sea glass.
His gaze softens.
The sea glass glistens between her fingers, and Geikyō looks away. Just today, he tells himself, Just today.
He should give her a break.

Me skipping online school and heading into the city for fun... Currently avoiding my teachers and the Zoom app because I haven't handed in a project I was supposed to complete ages ago. TwT I may be a responsible writer but I'm a terrible student.
Onto the comments!
To darkpaladin89: Yeah, hands off Akemi you useless gene doner. *Borrows Marmy* here you go Akemi, have a fluffy cat. *Grabs Smudge* Or two.
To Ree.Human: Eeyp. Kimura Geikyō is good at acting and manipulation. Though... Those genes and talents have to go some where, right? *Blinks innocently* You're right though, Akemi don't deserve any of that shit and I don't plan on redeaming Geikyō because he don't deserve it, but his reasoning of his actions, though, *points up* yep.
