[H2][center]Ryan Chideta 23/7/15, Home [/center][/h2] [Center][@Sho Minazuki][/center] Ryan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for awhile as he gathered his thoughts about the meeting. It would appear as if the Velvet Room was now offering services to help everyone. That was definitely something he needed to check out. He got up from bed and got dressed, grabbing his knives and hiding them in discreet places all over his body. Didn't want to start the day with getting arrested for suspicious behavior. As Ryan grabbed his phone and got ready to call Rui and let him know his plans he heard his mother call for him from the kitchen. Normally she's at work by now. Ryan headed downstairs to find his mother waiting for him along with breakfast. [Color=thistle]"Sit down Ryan, I think we need to talk."[/color] Ryan sat down and began eating as his mother composed her thoughts. [Color=thistle]"I understand that I haven't been around much, you understand that I've been busy with work right? But that's no excuse. Ever since I saw you in that hospital bed... I've been thinking of what a horrible parent I've been."[/color] She was getting visibly upset as tears brimmed in her eyes. [Color=royalblue]"That wasn't your fault mom, you couldn't have known."[/color] Ryan had to bite his tongue to stop himself. If he mentioned the kidnapping a whole new set of questions would come up. [Color=thistle]"But it was my fault! If I spent more time at home, being a parent, I could've stopped you from getting hurt!"[/color] She was crying at this point, but she took a deep breath and wiped away her tears. [Color=thistle]"But no more. I'm gonna try and take more time off of work. I'm going to be a parent for you. Like I was supposed to be years ago."[/color] Ryan smiled as tears brimmed in his eyes. He got up from his table, rushed over to his mother and hugged her. [Color=royalblue][i]'I forgive you.'[/i][/color] It was okay now, all the decisions she had taken away from him, all the friends he had lost, he would remember those. But he forgave her for it all. [b][color=steelblue]Thou art I and I art Thou. I am Geraint, the Trusting King.[/color][/b] A voice echoed in his head, he vaguely recognized it as his Persona. That didn't matter right now. [hr] After finishing breakfast Ryan talked to his mom for a while before she admitted that she unfortunately had to go to work today. After assuring her that it was okay he headed out to the warehouse. On his way he texted Rui letting him know of his plans to venture into Seto and to let everyone else know as he didn't have their phone number. When he got to the warehouse he decided to wait around a bit just in case he got a response saying to wait up.
