"Today I'm supposed to be meeting Onette and my.. father."
"Hang in there, it'll be alright," Mikio replied.
"I don't know. What do you think will happen?" I asked.
"Well, maybe he's changed? Of course that doesn't forgive what he's done."
"True. I'm just glad to know you're here to support me."
"Yeah. Actually I wanted to ask you something Evangeline?"
"Can it wait? I have to meet them at the arcade in about 10 minutes."
"S-sure."
"Bye Mikio, see ya later." I left.[Mikio's Perspective]
"Bye," I had to follow her. When else am I going to tell her?
After she left the building, I hopped into a taxi and went over to the arcade.
[Evangeline's Perspective]
"Hey Onette," I greeted.
"Hey Eva! Dad should be here soon."
"Evangeline? Is that really you?""You're so beautiful."
"Enough flattery. Why are you in Japan, father?"
"I moved here when your mother kicked me out. Not that I can blame her."
"Onette, go play a few games. I'll join you in a minute."
"Alright, sure," she sounded confused, "No one ever told her what happened. I can't blame her for being ignorant to our position."
[Mikio's Perspective]
I can hear Evangeline talking to her father from here."Evangeline. I'm sorry for what happened when you were a child."
"Sorry doesn't change anything. It doesn't heal the burns nor the scars."
"I've changed. I see that now. I know you wouldn't be able to forgive me but hear me out. I'm so sorry for all the times I wasn't there for you. All the times I hit you or spanked you or burned you. All the times I wasn't a father."
"This isn't about me. I don't care about that. It's about what you did to mom. And what you almost did to Onette had I not have protected her."
"You were always so selfless and still are. Tell me how is she doing, Kiria?"
"She wouldn't want me to tell you that."
"Knowing Kiria I should've thought of that before I asked. What about you? Are you planning to go to college? Do you have a boyfriend?"
It's now or never. I stepped out from my seeing box and went over to them.
