He nods.

"That's efficient, but the initial startup and the travel of the rays cost valuable time in a fight. You should constantly emit rays instead, always, that way you'll be able to react instantly to danger whenever and detecting anomalies will become second nature. Also, you should close your eyes when fighting, visual processing is expensive. And Seija, don't think during fights, it'll just confuse the two of you and you instincts are sharper anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to fetch Chen, she's behind on lessons."

"Pretty handy for that old fox to give us fighting advice just cause you gave her some of Rinnosuke's junk, I've got a whole new perspective on gift giving!" I said as Goro and I walked toward the back entrance of the HSE.

"Hey, what did that hag show you in fake shrine? Was it anything useful? Goro, Goro?" I asked as we rounded a corner.

Suddenly, Goro hugged me and shoved his face into my chest.

"Hey, hey, down boy, not here okay?" I hissed.

"Seija, I'm sorry..." He whimpered.

"I could hear them, our children. They're crying Seija, for us, for each other, and they're cold and lonely. There's others inside there, but they can't even hear them!" He wept.

I didn't push him away, instead, we both sunk to the floor and I let him cry into my tabard while I stroked his head. Goro hadn't ever cried like this, at least, never in front of me. Something about what he saw, or maybe, what he felt in this place shook him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a pathetic excuse for a father."

"It's alright. I don't dislike pathetic men." I whispered to his shivering form. "We'll make up for it soon okay? We'll hold our little brats and spoil them rotten once were free of this place okay?"

He nodded into my chest, still shivering and weeping, but safe in my arms.
