Father... For a moment Ryuutaro wished that this word would mean anything to him, anything more than an unnecessary tie. Maybe then he could understand what Hayato felt and find better words to ease the pain.
Hayato was in so much pain and he couldn't even understand it. It hurt, it hurt badly. Especially with that last question added to it. Ryuutaro would've given anything to change fate, change positions. If Hayato wanted his parents, he could have them, Ryuutaro would be fine with that, but sadly it wasn't that easy.

"You can have a family... but only with people who deserve you. He doesn't. Never did."

The boy tried to keep his voice steady as he replied. He didn't want to appear weak now of all times, no matter how he had felt until moments ago and how he felt now. Hayato should be able to believe him with everything he said, because he was right.

"You went against what his narrow mind dictates him to be right... There is nothing wrong with you, it's in their minds. In this world you are the best thing..."
His grip on Hayato's hands tightened as well, almost violently so.
"...give me just a bit more time and I will prove this entire world wrong... I promise."
And for once he had no idea how to even do that, it was so obvious that he was right and everyone at this place was wrong after all... But he would be willing to try. Even if he was just a little boy and this was a world, he refused to back down to a place that had hurt Hayato so badly. And he would start with this horrible person who was not even worth being associated with Hayato. He didn't know how, but he had to.
