Chapter Text
Kei closed his eyes, heart aching, as he listened to Sho’s passionate exhortations about outcasts and outsiders coming together in Mallepa; building and believing in a sense of community, acting on it, making things better for all of them left on the fringes - pushed to the fringes, kicked and reviled.
It was a good speech, and Sho was skilled and determined enough to even perhaps make that future a reality if he kept fighting - as Kei knew he always would.
Kei only feared this city and its darkness would eat his bright-eyed, bright-souled little one for daring to fight.
