MIKO
Fuck, I feel my eyes water, and I look down at my hands. Kai doesn't let go, as he exhales.
"Me too, miko. Me too. Now he is gone, and we have to step up the reins. He has always told us that there will come a time for us to be men to grow up, walk the path, and I think now it's the time."
"I wasn't ready to lose him, Kai," I bite my lip as I close my eyes. "I didn't talk to him this month, and now I feel like I failed him."
"No, come on. None of that. You are his prided grandson, the favourite, even though he always said he didn't have any. We all know he saw himself in you and prided himself on having you as his grandson. Remember when you told him you were about to debut? That night, how he sent you that wine bottle he has been preserving for … I don't know, 80 years?"
