[He hoped that that didn't come off as heartless. But Hiro had to think about this pragmatically... He could only reach out to those who were in front of him, not those who were out of sight. Plus the bond he had with his parents were almost non-existent.]

Whenever you get back to the hotel, you should try calling her to see if she's safe. These demons are attacking all over the world.

[He couldn't make any promises that she was going to be okay, though. Since Ai was a foreigner, he knew that this whole situation had to be even tougher for her since she was apart from family.]

Did something happen to your actual parents?

[There's delicateness in his voice. This could be a sensitive topic, so he won't tackle it in his usual goofball way.]

[emotive]

She might be okay if our neighbors are looking out for each other. But then again she's always been a tough old lady.

[Surprisingly, her answer about her parents is rather blase.]

I don't know much about them actually and I don't have any memories related to them. Grandma keeps calling them useless on a good day.

[takeyourway]

Oh, good. She might even become a demon tamer. Not like there's an age limit to the role!

[Hiro lets out a big sigh of relief after hearing that. After all, as long as you had a strong will... Then demons seemed to follow you. Or as long as you had enough Macca in your pockets for the devil auctions.]

But hey... I hear you on the whole 'useless parents' thing. Mine's never really paid much attention to me. My dad would usually tell me not to get in mom's way or get annoyed if I came home late. [He felt more like an inconvenience than anything else.] The only thing they seemed to pay attention to was my grades.

[emotive]

I see... It's a shame it's like that.

[She would like to say at least they're around, but it's not a pity-party contest. The truth of the matter was that she couldn't feel for anyone that wasn't around for her and her sister. ]

But you turned out really nice it seems like!

[takeyourway]

Heh... You really think so?

[Hiro couldn't help and blush a bit. It was a good thing that she couldn't see his face.]

It's all about making choices. I just chose to do what I feel is right in the moment. That's what living means to me.

[emotive]

What living means... Hm.

[They were certainly in the middle of a disaster where the meaning of living was now hovering over their heads closer than ever.

What was Ai living for?

The question feels too heavy when she asks of it herself. She's also tired from the whole day of wandering around in general so she leans her forehead against Hiro's back.]

Sorry. Tired.

[takeyourway]

Don't sweat it. If you wanna take a nap on the way, that's fine.

[Hiro wasn't going to be complaining. Getting rest and relaxation was more important than ever in times like this. These moments had reminded him what he was fighting for. He couldn't be a hero for people if he takes a moment to appreciate things that he was protecting.]

Move slower, Byakko. We've got a sleepyhead here.
