"I'm glad, but doesn't stop me from feeling the same way for myself. I've been haunted for so long, wondering if you all had escape. I was going to end your father's life as soon as i found out, but he disappeared, and i never found him until it was too late. He didn't deserve it. He didn't deserve a sacrifice. he deserved so much more. So much pain that it would make him sick and put a bullet into his god damn brain. That piece of shit. I wanted him to feel it. She didn't deserve it. He hurt her, and i want to rip the fucker's eyes out even if he is dead." Masaru inhaled, calming his head before exhaling.
"... His escape was my fault..." Reaver spoke up, closing his eyes.
Adrian glanced to him, sighing. "Reaver--"
"It was!" Reaver growled, huffing. "That night when he decided t' have his men turn on us because he found out about Rika, the fucker fled. And Alduin--, aaaah, gods!" Leaning forward, he placed his head in his hands. Rubbing his face as his ears remained low. Valerie and Adrian having rubbed his back.
"None of that was yer fault, Reaver. If anything, Adrian and I would call y' a hero."
Adrian gave a nod, glancing to his little brother. "And a strong one, at that. You endured the brunt of everything dad and Alduin had done because of dad's idiotic paranoia, and y' still came out smiling. If y' hadn't done what ya did that night, I don't think any of us would be here today. Hell, we'd have no one t' clean the Alaois family name, if it wasn't fer you!"
Reaver glanced to Adrian, a small smile forming on his face that Adrian would return. With a sigh, Reaver would then look to Masaru. "... At any rate, thank you fer this. Fer everything. We all know that anger you feel, Masaru, trust me. I haven't really met mom aside from in my dreams, but I think - if she was given back the memories - she'd also be thankful. Whether you'd be able t' save her, or not. Besides," Leaning over the table, Reaver would give a pat on Masaru's shoulder. A genuine smile on his face. "Y' kept her goin' until yer favourite pyro was brought into the world, yeah?"
