I don't want to hear those kinds of thoughts either

The best way to fix it is to fix your mindset

[Tsun.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[You can’t fool him, Theo. You care.]

I’ll try my best.

And I won’t tell anyone your secret, promise.

[lienhearts]

You'll regret it if you do

[TSUN.]

Why are you even so hard on yourself anyway?

[beneathmoonlight]

Ah.

Mainly because I just wanna prove I’m useful.

I went through several foster homes, but nobody ever wanted to keep me.

Not until I found my adoptive father.

[lienhearts]

[...Foster homes...

He's starting to remember. It's a thought that he never fully pushed from his mind, halfheartedly grasping at those faded memories while shamefully wondering if it wasn't better to forget, for all the good it did him or any of his siblings - those other kids, the ones he hardly knew yet so foolishly attached himself to. It wasn't as though he were ever going to do anything to find them, and even if he ran across them, what was there to do?

...He's starting to realize he may just need to actually figure that out, and soon.]

Yeah?

What's he like?

[beneathmoonlight]

[Meanwhile Atsushi is completely oblivious.]

He’s very kind, in his later years, and owns a bakery.

I’ll always be grateful to him for adopting me.

[lienhearts]

[...]

Same place as where you work or somewhere else?

[beneathmoonlight]

No, back in Japan.

He inspired my love of baking, though, and taught me everything I know.

Where did you grow up, Theo-kun?

[lienhearts]

Elsewhere

You grew up in Japan, then?

[beneathmoonlight]

Yes, I did.

I moved to Recolle to try and make something of myself.

[lienhearts]

You've done a lot of moving around

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah...

I never really belonged anywhere for the longest time.

I can remember one home I had with other kids. I was so happy, but it didn’t last.

[lienhearts]

[...]

Yeah? What was that like?

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t remember much because I was so young, but I think there was an older brother there. I really liked having him around.

And my other siblings were fun to play with.

[lienhearts]

But you couldn't stay with them?

[beneathmoonlight]

No.

They gave me up. I don’t remember why.

[lienhearts]

["Damn."]

Too bad

Sounds like things worked out for you after all, though

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah.

I still wish I could find some of my temporary siblings, though.

[lienhearts]

Even though you barely remember them?

[beneathmoonlight]

Yeah.

I want to know them better.

We have a sort of special connection, I just know it.

[lienhearts]

[Wow.]

You watch way too much tv

[Says the television actor.]

[beneathmoonlight]

Aha, maybe.

Anyway. That’s my story.

[lienhearts]

The chances of actually running into one of them is insanely low

[...But...]

Then again we're also on some crazy magic app so maybe one day you'll find one

[Or rather, maybe one day Theo will figure out how, exactly, he wants to approach this.]

[beneathmoonlight]

You’re right.

I can still hope.

Anyway. I’m sure you have things to do, Theo-kun.

Thank you for talking with me, though.

[lienhearts]

I sure do

[And he's not even gonna address that thank you. Because on top of his normal work, he's suddenly got a lot more on his plate to think about.]
