#I have my friend Edge in a chokehold in my head rn. Don't ask why

Survivor Taka with Takaaki and Takemichi and it's just...I dunno. A sort of tense and awkward air with a hint of sadness between all of them. Because Taka isn't...Taka. He's Kiyondo. He's not Takaaki's son anymore. And he's not the Kiyotaka Takemichi met all that long ago when Mondo brought him over.

They silently mourn Taka. Especially Takaaki who had previously slowly watched his son become less like himself and now in front of him not himself.

Just this...person.

Not the son he raised.

It makes him grieve his son, even if he was alive, this wasn't his Kiyotaka.
