[ ...the abominablob winked at him. Akira can tell, with the same keen perception that's won him a legion of games and childhood 'did-something-just-move-under-the-bed' night terrors.
He's just opened his mouth to point out the gory and the supernatural, but Shindou's already stabbed, then cannibalized the creature, so Akira briefly pauses in stupor/horror/admiration to pay the act its due. Holy goban above.
The puppy, seemingly more jaded than Akira had given it credit, takes this particular time to yawn, wide-jawed and fully lethargic. It earns a frown from Akira, a snapped tsk and an idle glare. ]
Mother wants to keep it. [ The puppy's gender, much like its name, means nothing to the chilled and crippled cockles of Touya Akira's black heart. ] Father and I politely disagree. She said to settle this reasonably.
[ A shrug now, carefully stifled at the last moment so to least upset the puppy's rest. And so, a monstrous covenant was born. ]
