[ ah... so that's how it was. that's incredibly sad... Shion looks down at the floor for a minute -- he even sees his goat hobble along, as if it just did nothing to cause an... awkward moment between the two despite just meeting.

but, this is Shion he pries, and he's nosy. so he can't help it. he wants to help in some day, but he isn't too sure how.

My father... Left us two months after I was born. My mom described him as hopeless, and drunk, so it frustrated her.

So... ... ... I don't have any memory of him, except for the fact he brought cherry cake home on the day I was born. That's why we had cherry cake every birthday. That sounds kind of silly doesn't it? It became habit.

[ he doesn't know if this will comfort him, but it's a simple gesture that kind of says 'I think I know how you feel'. yet... he still feels really sad. ]

I'm wondering... Who's Arjuna?

[ SORRY... KARNA HE'S NOSY. ]
