"I wasn't intending to let that happen. I will take care of Hayato", he said steadily, "That's the fate that was decided."
Ryuutaro smiled a small, but very confident smile, which got brighter (and more fake) again when he reached the end of his words.
It always felt good to mention destiny. It was a habit he'd almost been forced to half-way give up on during his time in the Manor. (It was an odd thing how the Manor had taken so many things he loved away from him, but almost completely made up for it by giving him Hayato.)
