“It is a start. And after all, things have changed…and hopefully circumstances will become better, easier, with time. Plus, it seems you’re trying to make right of things, and that alone is good progress and shows improvement.” Tsukiyomi gently smiles at his son,a hand reaching over to gingerly pat one of his and rest there for a moment.  And perhaps his hand lingers in a semi-hold over Akira’s for longer than originally intended, but the delay was partially due to the fact the Moon god was not expecting the words that came after, and partially because he wanted to turn the assurance into something more of a comforting gesture. 

I wish your mom had never left you, either. The words sit on his tongue, but he doesn’t dare speak them - he had thought over this; never would he regret having intertwined his life shortly with Akira’s mother’s, especially now knowing what it had given him. Selfish as it might seem, Tsukiyomi considered the boy a gift in life - even with all the struggle that had been endured, accompanied by the distance and absence the Moon god had unknowingly put in his own place. 

He was beginning to think way too much.

But what was the proper thing to say?

He felt the urge to ask the one question on his mind, but he wasn’t sure if he would get a satisfactory answer. Despite that fear tugging at his mind, he spoke up anyways, asking softly, “Can you tell me about my mom? I don’t even know her name. She just left me at the hospital.”

His tone showed some excitement as he talked. Hana envied that sort of excitement, her voice was small and trembled randomly. Nodding along to his words she reminisced on her childhood. “That’s nice. I’m from Tokyo as well, we did move a bit around though.. I changed schools frequently.” A short pause, “Most of my childhood was spent in the kitchen, I played a lot with my grandmother and we always cook, or well she did and I just watched.” Her eyes went wide for a moment, “What kind of adventures?” Those sounded fun, she bet they were quite interesting. 

He felt a sense of warmth rush over him as he remembered their adventures. He looked up as he described the memories to Hana, “We would go anywhere we felt like going when we had time to ourselves. As a kid, I felt like we had been everywhere in Japan, just visiting anywhere that seemed like fun at the time. Now, I guess I’ve realized that we didn’t even cover the entirety of Honshu. The beauty of adventures is that you’ll never run out of them.”

“Really? If you’re ever curious, you can ask me anything you want about Shinto shrines and beliefs, but my dad, Tsukiyomi, would know more than me,” he said with a shrug and raised an eyebrow at her next statement. With a small laugh, he told her, “I don’t think anybody is really normal, but that’s what makes us all interesting. Besides, you sound like fun to go swimming with!”

Bin hadn’t meant to snoop, he really hadn’t– but when he had spotted the little tucked away box while Akira was out of the room, his curiosity had gotten the better of him and he could not help but take a peek inside. He nearly dropped the box when he heard his friend’s voice, his ears turning red; he was more than a little mortified to have been caught sticking his nose where it did not belong. However, he also wasn’t all that sorry, because the contents of the box were a little alarming.

“Is that stuff yours?” He asked, watching Akira with wide eyes. He probably would have been less shocked if he had found some kind of hardcore porn stash, honestly. Sure, the other boy was tall and probably strong, but Bin never would have pegged him as some kind of– what, fight club brawler? The Akira he knew was gentle as a lamb and was hurt when he even said something too sarcastic.

He hesitated to continue, but after a deep breath, he pulled together any strength he had to tell the truth. He spoke softly, “I joined a group and we fought...for money. I didn’t really understand my powers then. I just knew that I could protect myself with the moon and nobody could defeat me.”
