Song 23: Angels Among Us
The party was nearly over by the time Shunsoku manage to corner his son. "Neku," he started.
Neku sighed. In hindsight he should have seen this coming. After all, Neku got his stubbornness from his father. "Look, dad," Neku interrupted. "Can't we just skip over all this part? I mean it's awkward and I already know what you're trying to say." He didn't look his father in the eye. Neku isn't good with confrontation and awkward apologizes. Years of stunted social interaction did that to him. He's still trying to forgive Joshua for "killing" him over the summer.
"It still needs to be said," Shunsoku said.
Neku shook his head. "No, not really dad." He grinned a little. "I know. Really."
Shunsoku ruffled Neku's hair, causing his purple earphones to slide off his head and Neku to scowl. "Daadd," he complained with a huff.
"I wasn't there to see it, but you've grow up so well," Shunsoku softly admitted.
Neku glanced back towards his friends. "I had lots of help."
And a song someone sings
Neku's eyes snapped wide in shock and turned around. "Mom," he whispered to the wind. There was nothing behind him, but empty window laced with snow.
"Neku?" Shunsoku asked, looking worried. "Everything okay?"
Neku smiled softly. "Yeah. Everything is fine. Guess she's still watching over us."
