beetlerebel | I will watch over your future

At a quiet beach front property, isolated from the world, Sora looked at the person before him, clothes covering them from head to toe, curiously. What peaked his interested was the one eye glowing white under the hoodie.

"She's not normal. Broken, you can say. I don't know why or how to help her. She looks mostly human but there are parts of her that refuse to change, still staying in her Greeed form."

"You're Shinju, right? Naiya's daughter?"

The young woman had stood awkwardly, turned her head away when Sora continued to stare, unable to handle his eyes on her. She didn't feel judgement or disgust from him, only interest yet it still made her uncomfortable but at the mention of her and her mother's name, Shinju looked back at the younger beetle.

"Mo...th...er..." Her voice was rough, speech slow, signs pointing to it's lack of use.

"Mm!" Sora nodded. "I knew her. She told me she wrote to you about me. I'm Sora." He smiled.

"So...So...ra......Pa...pa..."

"Aa. Naiya wanted me to be your father."

"Strange. Never heard of a broken Greeed before. My father, Han Sol and Hosei are all in the biology fields for Greeeds. They may be able to figure something out. Who is the kid's dad anyways?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect her, couldn't bring her to you so you two can finally live together, without any fear but I promised her that I would look after you for her." He smiled sadly, seeing the eye glowing moistening. "Would you like that? My family live in a nice place. It's away from people and we have a river not far from it that leads to a lovely lake." Sora continued, holding out a hand. "Do you want to come with me?"

Shinju eyed the hand and the face it belonged to. Naiya had written to her nothing but good things about this man whom she had fell deeply in loved with, wanting the three to become a family. Her mother was gone now but Sora was willing to continue what she had wanted and Shinju can see why her mother fell in love with him. Even if he didn't live a life growing around Greeeds, kaijins or anything odd, the younger beetle's actions wouldn't change, still offering what he is right now. That was the kind of person he was.

With a slow nod, she took the other's hand with her normal one.

"Tomoki."
