What does being a boy have to do with it?

[Waves a hand.] Yeah I know, but sorry, can't change that.

Aren't boys the ones who take care of girls?

[Well, not all boys do that but... He tries to.]

When mama was too weak to move she told me that I would have to take care of her and the coming baby because I was the man of the family.

But she took care of you too while she could. Gender doesn't matter like that. Friends, family, and people who like each other are supposed to guard each other's backs.

... Then what about those who don't do that?

[Action, May 29th]

[justicereigns]

They have other ways to make up for it. Everyone does what they can, what they're good at.

[Ikki thinks about that a bit before he looks at Smoker and asks, by his tone it's clear he doesn't believe it's possible but the kid still lacks the sharp edge and hate that his older self has.]

My dad too?

I don't know. I never met him, so I couldn't say.

Not everyone follows that sense of justice.
