[So when Mitsuru had arrived here, she had not only had to deal with him and Minato walking around, but got to add her father to the tally of dead men walking while she was at it. Well, shit. No wonder she had looked so tired. He doesn't recall a time when he had ever seen Mitsuru legitimately distraught over anything—at least, not for more than five or ten minutes at a stretch, which was about the amount of time it usually took for her to get a handle on things, for her to figure out how to deal with the situation as best she could, keeping that air of quiet professionalism about her—but he can imagine. Mitsuru's strong, but she is still human. And she's still someone's daughter.
He should've been the one taking her out for coffee, really.
His thoughts drift away from her, returning to the topic at hand, glad for a moment that the Chairman's dead and won't be able to toy with anyone anymore, but intimately aware of the growing unease starting to rise in his gut, as it usually does when he feels things are about to go wrong. Takaya being alive doesn't surprise him as much as maybe should—though then again, his apparent suicide was only ten seconds ago—and the things involving Chidori are about the same. He wondered what Strega would do with her being absent, and she had been with Strega for as long as he can remember consorting with them. They would have come for her eventually.
He had always been surprised Chidori had taken to Iori as much as she did—though the reverse was also equally true. Iori had gotten her to talk when no one else could, and visited her at the hospital more often than he could count. Stupid kid, he had probably been setting himself up for tragedy.
But then again, you couldn't really stop who you fell in love with.]
