* . FOOL / UNIVERSE

                        ‘   narukami was worried about you  ,  but  …  it’s alright  .   ‘  he remained soft  ,  although a small hint of monotone remained within his vocal chords  .  ‘   it’s cold out  ,  anyways  ….  you would’ve caught the flu  ,  shiho  -  san  .   ‘  the small talk left a gross feeling within his stomach  ,  he’d much rather the ride stay quiet  …  he felt his thumb rub against the leather of his steering wheel  .  ‘   everything will work out fine  ,  okay  … ?   ‘

                      a child  .  now  ,  the fool wasn’t one to typically enjoy childrens company  ,  aside from ken  .  he found his heart shatter at the ideology that a child had to suffer the fate of death at such a young age  .  the boy allowed himself to kneel down  ,  squatting to be able to be eye  -  to  -  eye with the small girl  .  ‘   you’re safe  .   ‘  he mustered out  ,  a hand raising to be placed on top of her shoulder  .  ‘   my name’s minato arisato  ,  but i ask you to just call me minato  .   ‘  a breath escaped him  ,  finding himself become a little choked up with this situation  .  who could do such a cruel thing   –   ?  why her  ?  ‘   everything will be okay  …  okay  ?   ‘

                      the fool broke into his own smile  ,  monotone features brightening for once within his short life  -  span  .  he felt his heart begin to flutter with the new  -  found knowledge  ,  an ego rising now that his hard work had been praised  .  ‘   i’m glad  .  ‘
