This is the way it must be for us to fulfill our duty as caretakers. The pet shop cannot be left alone. One must be born anew, and one must be already in motion.
[He looks at Rin, face a bit thin to match the prickle of resolution. Resignation?]
It's about both of us, idiot. [ he just mutters before stuffing more sushi in his face, grief and frustration rolling off him ] You don't trust humans but maybe there's someone else that could... help.
[The juxtaposition of these threads is killing me.]
There isn't anyone. It's not beneficial for us to have ties anywhere. We're not restricted by mankind's enforced boundaries. We come, and we go. [He smiles, but the feelings behind the smile are sad.] We live and we die.
My father left me with the same words I will one day give my son: Do not embrace hope again. We must never forgive the humans.
[Well, they're DEAD, and he will simply erase Rin's memories if they ever aren't nerfed. It's fine.]
I can't be separated from what I was made to do. [There is a blip of something here, something sad and hurt, and then very quickly it's shoved aside, and he looks away.] No, there isn't anyone.
[ THE WAY HE'S JUST LYING... IN THEIR HEART TO HEART ]
... Are you just saying that because you're afraid of being hurt? [ ... ] I mean, I don't know your situation, and maybe you think you're going to be as bad as a human if you're selfish but I don't think it's selfish to hope or to want people to share your life with.
No, you still aren't understanding. The only other people on my earth aside from the animals are humans. And I cannot complete my duty if they are given special treatment by being close to me.
The pet shop is no place for humans to stay. They don't belong there.
It doesn’t work out. Once they learn what you have, I will need to leave. Ultimately, the father returns to the son to leave him final words.
So the same will happen to me. I’ll go wherever my son is, and I will probably die, leaving him a reminder. Then he will have to leave, and the cycle continues.
There is no place for others in this cycle. It will only get in the way.

O... kay. [ o_o ] Are you all... usually clones...?
no subject
There are only three of us, and yes. There needs to be two of us, so we don't forget.
no subject
well, d can probably guess that rin is absolutely bewildered without feeling his emotions. ]
So, your grandfather cloned his son to make sure there would at least be two of you?
no subject
D is… actually feeling kind of sad.]
My father cloned himself and Grandfather to make me.
no subject
Why?
no subject
There has to be two of us.
no subject
So he just created you for that? Doesn't sound like... a great dad.
no subject
He is my father only in title. I had only met him again recently. I did not see him the rest of my life.
The same will be true for my son, and then his son, and then his.
no subject
Does it have to be that way? What happens if you change it?

... Don't you think you could be better than him? [ Furrows his brows. ] Isn't there anyone that you care about, other than the pets at your shop.

The pet shop is no place for humans to stay. They don't belong there.

What happens to them in there?
no subject
Were?]
They just cannot stay. It is a pet shop for animals. Humans don't belong in a pet shop.
