Bad Blood
âFuriousâ didnât even begin to describe what Ken was when he came home one day to find his computer no longer in his bedroom. He was standing in the doorway, looking at the now bare desk beside his bed.
Deep breath. âMom!â
âWhat is it, dear?â
âWhere. Is my. Computer.â
âYour father and I agreed that itâs not healthy to let you have it in there anymore. Youâre starting to behave like you did that awful year you disappeared. Osamu said--â
âOsamu said what.â
â--that he thought youâre too fixated on your technology. You need to take a break every once and awhile.â
âI donât need any breaks! Iâm busy, canât you see that!?â
âThen you can be busy in the living room.â
The living room. His lifeâs work was sitting in the living room for anyone in his family to touch.
Osamu was going to pay for this.
