"tch.. stop crying, dammit.. suck it up.."

touya murmured to himself, wiping away the tears that didn't stop falling. it was dark out, he sat alone in the forest at sekoto peak, knees by his chest, head in his arms. once again, his father hadn't come to watch him.

"dad.. why didn't you come..?"

he lifted his head the moment he heard a rustle from nearby, wiping away tears immediately.
