it's all too perfect.

A blue light floats beside him, and for a moment McGillis might see the image of a man. But it's gone just as quickly.

You understand.

[vogelfrei]

[ Ah... Interesting. ]

I do.

[ A house that suffocates you, with a parent who makes you feel like you're drowning in a pit of tar. An obedient child, allowing themselves to be smothered for what- for what- for what- ]

She couldn't afford to keep me. But you can.


Don't waste it.

[vogelfrei]

I'm not in the habit of wasting things.

[ What do you take him for, blue light? ]

Why didn't she 'keep' you?

[beathollow]

What does bearing your fangs to someone who doesn't even see you as human do? Justify treating you as a beast.

I am KAITO. I am her anger and fury, locked away for years, because she had to live more than she had to defend herself.




I am very tired of being locked away.

[vogelfrei]

Hidden anger can burn just as hotly. It can become fuel in the furnace to sustain yourself.

[ Speaking from experience here. ]

But I do believe you're right. It's finally time to let you run wild.

[beathollow]

There's a reason I'm drawn to people like you, and not others.

But I am a guide above all else. I can't fight for you. But we can provide clarity when you need it. And you will need it.

[vogelfrei]

You can't fight for me, but I can fight for you - for her, if that is what she desires.

Until the time she can become one with you again.

The light is silent, and then McGillis will feel a tight squeeze of his shoulder. The flicker of a man appears again, and its clear to see he's equal parts furious (always furious), concerned and relieved- Mafuyu is a child who's been worn down to nothing, she can't stand alone the way they both wish she could yet.

Thank you.
