"A SON?" Ren's eyes grow wide, popping out of the sockets. "Rie Chan has a son?"
Takeshi gives him a solemn nod. "Brother left with Yuta. I don't know where they are, but I am sure that my brother will come back with her and Yuta."
"Yuta..." Ren mumbles the name, too shocked to say anything else. Rie already has a son. Are they growing too old? Oh! She's married to Kiyohira too. It's not odd that she will have a son. Is he an uncle already?
Then, that call earlier from Kiyohira? Ren finally gets the idea of the situation. He hopes that they are together now.
"What does he look like?" Ren asks curiously. "My best friend's child must be smart."
"He's a prodigy." Takeshi scratches his nose. The boy is so young, but he already has mastery over other languages. His bearing is also different. "He must be a genius."
"A genius." Ren blinks hard. Why is this not surprising? "He inherited Rie's genius."
