"Yuta!"
"Yuta!"
Kiyohira shakes his son when he doesn't reply to his questions. The boy blinks his eyes at him and replies with an apologizing voice, "Oh, Father… I am sorry. I was thinking of something."
He exhales. "What were you thinking about?"
Yuta purses his lips and looks away from him. Her name is Mira Kirishima. She didn't lie to him. His heart feels lighter now. At least, one thing about her wasn't a lie.
"If you don't tell me, how will this ever work out?" Kiyohira asks him in frustration. "Maddox is still out there. Nina is dead. You are not telling me about the person who killed you. Yuta, you can tell me anything. I need to know. I won't stop you from going after Mira Kirishima even if she's an heir, but we need to be prepared for the future if we get involved with her."
