[He had promised. And he intended to keep that promise. No matter what. Even if it meant Mikey fucking hated him-- Mikey would be okay, wouldn't he? He had Draken and all the rest. He had so much love, so many people who understood and supported him. This was in fact, here in this place, a Mikey who had survived without him.
...He knew it was a fucking blow if he went. He knew he was one of the few people who'd really known Mikey as a child, who knew everything that went down, who'd seen his personality form, who understood the depth of the dark within him; who understood he had a killer instinct deep down but didn't want to. Should never evolve into having. Could be stopped from having.
Kazutora was the opposite... he was a killer on the surface, and shattered glass deep down. A broken, wounded thing who'd make a mistake and had suffered for it. A friend who needed a friend. A person who simply needed... forgiveness. A future. Hope.
Keisuke Baji wasn't smart. But he was a good first division leader. He knew people. He knew his people. He'd do anything; anything; for them.]
I promised you. And I won't go anywhere without you. I won't go home without you; but I wanna take you home, cause this place sucks.
