Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #103

Today passed by in a bit of a blur.

This is mostly due to the fact that I certainly did not get enough sleep last night. Given the reasons for it, I am not sad about it. But my brain is soupy nonetheless.

J and I went to the good place earlier than usual because a great big breakfast was planned. I signed up to bring bacon, which Br cooked yesterday in the oven (I was pulled in many directions yesterday, so I wouldn't have gotten a chance to do it!). Br made AMAZINGLY CRISPY BACON, oh my goodness!!! And everyone thought it was really good!!! There wasn't any left by the end!!!

The awesome leader of the place talked on a really sad story about some guy from a really long time ago getting terrible punishments for being so kind to everyone that he was upsetting the social order. This guy liked to hang with and to help the rejects and the socially outcast, and I guess a non-trivial number of folks thought he was arrogant and creepy and kinda gross for this (whoof, that's kind of relatable), so although lots of ordinary folks followed him around while he was useful and helping, when push came to shove and the folks in power came around to put an end to him because they didn't like the fact that he was helping the people that they were trying to oppress, most, if not all of his followers turned tail and ran off like cowards. It seems like nobody tried to protect him at all. And uh. Well. The whole notion of "people chilling with me while I'm useful and then fucking right off when the going gets rough" is also, sadly, kinda relatable.

And you know? He was found by the folks in power in the first place because some selfish, short-sighted prick sold him out for a few coins. It's the lamest fucking shit. It is the LAMEST FUCKING SHIT.

Supposedly, they all loved this guy, but if they loved him this much, then why did no one try to take the punishment in his place? I'll never understand it. And you know what else I'll never understand? I'll never understand how seemingly the vast majority of people who hear this story and believe it end up using it to justify hating and oppressing certain kinds of people. People like me, for example. It seems like the vast majority of people who believe in this story REALLY SUPER DESPISE people like me (and they also hate people like the leader of this place I go to! can you imagine it??), for a wide variety of reasons.

…It's complicated. In my world, in order to be "normal", you're supposed to believe in this story in such a way that it denies humans of their humanity and inherent goodness in a variety of respects, and I just… I can't bring myself to do that. Not anymore. The place I go to doesn't teach the story in the "normal" way that I'm used to hearing, though, so although I cannot bring myself to speak most of the words (especially not the weirder ones revolving around being "punished" and whatnot… it sounds too close for comfort to living with an abusive parent and begging for their "mercy"…), I still go, because the leader says the things from a loving, self-and-other-celebrating, and courageous lens rather than the typical self-loathing, humanity-denying, fear-driven lens that is most common where I'm from.

I don't really know how to describe my own relationship to this story. For a very long time, this story has been and continues to be used by others to justify saying and doing all kinds of horrid shit to me and to the people I love, as well as to justify oppressing and even torturing and killing certain groups of people on a mass scale. And this is NEVER acceptable, so needless to say, I tend to view the more ah… enthusiastic… believers of this story with a hefty dose of caution and hesitation; I don't wanna write anyone off, but at the same time, for my own safety, I also don't want to end up getting caught off-guard around people who could potentially think and behave abusively. I am terrified of the kinds of people who wanna see me locked away into some institution to be electroshocked until I'm forced to psychically amputate aspects of my being that hurt no one, and the fact that there is still a non-zero number of people who advocate for these kinds of facilities is VERY alarming. I've already had other aspects of my being beaten out of me, and I've been desperately trying to regrow them.

But in this place, I feel safe. This group that I go see once a week is filled with lots of people like me - "non-standard" folks who would be ostracized, hated, and oppressed by more "traditional" folks. And this place does not teach people to hate themselves or view themselves as dirty, wretched, or shameful; rather, this place teaches people to love themselves and each other as-is, and to use that love in order to be brave enough to do kind and helpful things for others and for oneself, even when those kind and helpful things are difficult or unpopular. This place paints the main character of this story as a bizarre but gentle man who rejects arbitrary social norms in favor of doing that which is kind and good. They paint him as some guy who has a VERY good sense of what he's doing and why, while simultaneously learning as he goes.

Though I have my own take on this story that maybe some folks would be uncomfortable with (my own beliefs system is eclectic, and it weaves elements from various systems, including this one, other traditions, quantum physics, as well as beliefs from more recent fiction and my own realizations together into something that makes sense to me in light of my own perceptions, abilities, and experiences; it's constantly changing as I learn new things, and it'll likely not work for someone else, and that's okay), I do find aspects of this character to be relatable and worthy of emulating in a variety of respects. Being reliably kind to myself and to the people society says I shouldn't be kind to is something I am constantly striving towards.

I think it's important for people to believe in whatever makes them reliably brave enough to be good to all other humans (whatever shape that takes, even if it's a belief in nothing), just as long as whatever that is does not justify the suffering of someone else. And I do mean ALL other humans. Even the ones you don't like spending time with. And even the ones who don't share the same beliefs. I sure as heck don't like spending time with people who think that certain kinds of people don't count as people (sadly, it's popular here to treat non-white, disabled, non-straight, or non-cis-male people as though they are subhuman, for example), but nonetheless, I do understand that dehumanizing beliefs come from being traumatized and conditioned into carrying them as a child (I was raised in this shit), so if I see someone like that in trouble, I'm still going to help them, if I'm able. I wasn't able to do better until I learned better, so I don't belong throwing stones at other people's beautiful glass houses; the only thing for it when people get weird is to wish them well and move on.

Anyhoot. I've probably prattled on long enough. I had other things to say, I think, but I've gone and forgotten them because I am sleep deprived and my brain is soup. Oh well. Maybe I'll remember tomorrow.

Please stay safe out there. Please learn to believe kind, gentle, and loving things about yourself, about the world you live in, and about the people in it. I'll be rooting for you, always.

Your friend, Lumine

All the elements of the periodic table in the Kichwa language

Jose E. Andino-Enríquez, Manuel A. Andino-Enríquez, Francis E. Hidalgo-Báez, Sisa P. Chalán-Gualán, Santiago D. Gualapuro-Gualapuro, Simone Belli and Michelle B. Chicaiza-Lema recently published in the Journal of Chemical Education a proposal to adapt the names of the 118 elements of the periodic table to Kichwa (Adaptation of the Periodic Table to Kichwa: An Ecuadorian Native Language; J. Chem. Ed., 2022 99 (1), 211-218, DOI: 10.1021/acs.jchemed.1c00383).

The authors explain that the Kichwa lacks scientific tools to respond to educational needs, triggering the gradual loss of intercultural diversity. To adapt the periodic table to Kichwa, they took into account the different linguistic variations of the language and the opinion of the speakers. This is the adaptation compared to the Spanish version, the language most widely spoken in Ecuador:

Lo autores explican que que el kichwa carece de herramientas científicas para responder a las necesidades educativas, desencadenando la pérdida gradual de la diversidad intercultural. Para adaptar la tabla periódica al kichwa tuvieron en cuenta las diferentes variaciones lingüísticas del idioma y la opinión de los hablantes. Así quedó la adaptación:

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.

2019 foi um ano de muito aprendizado e de muita articulação política diante de um novo governo e de uma nova legislatura.  Um ano de forte trabalho contra retrocessos e de avanços, principalmente no que diz respeito às políticas públicas de inclusão e acessibilidade das pessoas com deficiência, à retomada de investimentos em infraestrutura e à questão dos impostos e incentivos praticados no Estado. Na infraestrutura, garantimos investimentos importantes como a retomada das obras de duplicação do trecho estadualizado da BR-280, entre os municípios de Guaramirim e Jaraguá do Sul, que somam R$ 103 milhões, e a construção de nova subestação de energia em Canoinhas, para melhorar a oferta de energia elétrica na região do Planalto Norte. Resultado de um grande trabalho de articulação com o governo estadual, garantimos a liberação de cerca de R$ 8 milhões  em emendas de nossa autoria. Os recursos estão  sendo aplicados em saúde, educação, infraestrutura e segurança, auxiliando as prefeituras no desenvolvimento de vários municípios. Frente à Comissão de Defesa dos Direitos da Pessoa com Deficiência, realizamos mais de 30 grandes eventos durante o ano, levando informação de alta qualidade e promovendo a capacitação de mais de 26 mil pessoas  para que a inclusão seja cada vez mais eficiente em nosso estado. O ano de 2020 vai exigir ainda mais empenho e dedicação. Teremos pela frente o debate da reforma da previdência estadual e a luta pela aprovação do nosso projeto de lei que cria a Nota Fiscal Segura, em que parte do ICMS das compras efetuadas no estado será destinada pelo consumir a uma entidade filantrópica, além da proposta que estabelece um novo Código Sanitário, menos burocrático e mais eficiente. Também estaremos empenhados para que a proposta do governo federal, que destrói a lei de cotas de empregos para deficientes, não prospere no Congresso Nacional.

All of us walked up the driveway, Denki, myself, Dad and Pops going to Sota's smaller birthday party. Hitoshi opted to stay home for the day, not particularly looking to come to a one year olds birthday party and I couldn't really blame him.

"Why were we invited?" Dad asked tiredly as we got to the door.

"Shikadai said something about wanting to be apart of my life and he thought this would be a good way to get to know everyone better and be on good terms on both ends. I wasn't expecting you guys to actually take him up on the offer." I said and Dad sighed. "Correction, I wasn't expecting Pops to take you both up on that offer." I said and knocked on the door. Azuna opened it quickly and brought me into a hug, immediately making my skin crawl.

"It's so nice to see all of you again. Where's your brother?" She asked me, ushering all of us into her parents house.

"He was feeling a little under the weather and figured he'd stay at the dorms for the night." I bullshitted, but she quickly believed it.

"Well I hope he feels better. Aizawa, Yamada, it's nice to see you both again. And Kaminari, I'm glad you could make it." She rambled on almost nervously.

"Thank you for inviting us." Pops said and she smiled warmly, leading us back to the living room.

"Yuto! Can you bring Sota out here? I'm sure he'll be happy to see Onryo." She yelled back somewhere. Shikadai rounded the corner first and gave me a hug. I awkwardly hugged him back, but he seemed enthused that I even did that much.

"Hey, kid. Long time no see." He said jokingly and I let out a tense laugh.

"Yeah, it's been ages." I mumbled. "Hi Ren, hi Keiko, it's nice to see you both again."

"Oh, hello dear. Kaminari, you look lovely today."

"Thank you, Keiko. You look radiant as ever." He said with a warm smile, helping her up out of her seat. She gave him the grandma pat on the arm and came over to me.

"You better hold on tight to that one, he's a keeper." She told me and I laughed under my breath.

"I'll definitely hold onto him."

"Azuna, dear, would you mind helping me in the kitchen?" She asked her daughter and she happily followed.

"Please, have a seat, no need to stand." Shikadai said, somewhat rushed. Denki took a seat on the couch, Pops sat on the other end while Dad stood next to him. I was going to sit until I saw Yuto come in with Sota, the one year old quickly made grabby hands towards me. His Dad set him down and he came waddle running towards me and I let him fake tackle me to the floor. His never ending giggles seemed worth it though.

"Happy birthday, Sota." I said and he giggled, clapping as I spoke. "Well, he seems to know what that means."

"He's been hearing it all day, I'd hope he's grasped what it means by now." Ren said jokingly.

"Yeah, and uh, I'm sorry, for how I handled things at his birthday party. I should've gone about it in a better way." I said awkwardly, Yuto shot me a dirty look but everyone else seemed to just wave it off.

"She's going to rehab soon." Yuto said dryly and I slowly nodded.

"I'm glad she's getting help." I said softly and he scoffed.

"I think given the high emotions, you handled it as well as you could. You handled it better than most of us would've in my opinion." Shikadai said and I gave him a small smile.

"So, Aizawa, Yamada, you're both teachers. Are your students giving you any grief this year?" Ren chimed in, redirecting the conversation skillfully while I played with Sota, the baby babbling and pterodactyl screaming while he gave me a multitude of high fives.

"My students tend to. Our son likes to give us the most scares, however." Dad said and I awkwardly smiled.

"Love you."

"I'm an english teacher, so my main difficulty is just getting everyone to understand what I'm saying."

"Is that why Onryo and his brother are fluent in english?" Ren asked and Pops nodded.

"Onryo wanted to learn english at a young age. One day, him and I were having some extra lessons and Hitoshi asked if he could start learning, too. They both picked it up so fast, we were really proud of them."

"Kaminari, how's your english?" Shikadai asked him and he froze up.

"I'm probably the worst in the class. Onryo's really helped me a lot though, so my grade has gone up."

"That's great. I can't speak a lick of english, so you're already doing better than me. I never had an ear for languages, but I certainly had a hand for them." Shikadai said, Kaminari and Pops laughing at his dad joke. "I'm glad someone here thinks I'm funny."

"Shikadai, would you mind getting the door?" Ren asked, most of us looked at him confused, but he agreed. "I don't think I should have some of the best ears here, that seems a little concerning." Ren said sarcastically, making me laugh.

"Mom, Dad, you remember Onryo and his boyfriend, Kaminari. These are Onryo's parents, Aizawa Shouta and Yamada Hizashi. Aizawa, Yamada, these are my parents, Raiden and Azami." Dad and Pops got up, Pops more made Dad get up with him, but when Pops went to bow, Raiden waved his hand.

"None of that formal crap. We're too old to be worried about that. It's great to finally meet you both." Pops stared at him, shell shocked and Dad gave him a pointed look that was subtle enough for everyone else to miss. "You look like you've seen a ghost." Raiden said and Pops fixed his face.

"Sorry, I just wasn't prepared for any major resemblances." Pops said bashfully. "We've always had the running joke that he was my carbon copy, and he looked a lot like his late Uncle. Hitoshi has always resembled his Dad, and was always his carbon copy. It's just, a bit of a shock to see so much resemblance."

"Genetics will do that. All three of us got the same quirk and matching hearing aids to go with it. Was a hero myself back in my day." He said proudly and I looked at him in disbelief. "The people weren't a fan of the fact that I could make some ears bleed, so I was always lower ranking until I got on disability. I suffered from a TBI, so I took the settlement and made a house for my beautiful wife." He said and gave Azami a kiss on the cheek. "Check this out." He said and showed Dad and Pops the pictures he showed Denki and I. "Unfortunately, it looks like I gave those two my height. My bio father was over six feet tall."

"What was your hero name?" Denki asked.

"I was very original. I was the sound hero, Sound Wave." He said proudly and Azami patted his arm.

"There there, dear. Don't throw your back out now." Dad and I laughed a little at the interaction.

"Do you want a very exalting moment?" I asked and everyone looked at me curiously. I grabbed my phone and called Izuku with a video call, after three rings he answered. "Hey, Zuku, I have a random question. You got a minute?"

"I was just finishing up my homework, what's up?"

Can you hear him?

Raiden gave me a thumbs up and I turned back to my phone.

"Have you ever heard of the pro hero Sound Wave?" I asked and he paused for a minute.

"Yeah, he wasn't a really high ranking hero but he had a quirk pretty much identical to yours, I figured that was where you got the name of your quirk for. He was active probably, shoot, forty years ago? His most notable fight was in Nagano at Lake Suwa, he made a tidal wave out of the lake with his sound waves that completely disoriented the villains and gave him the big edge he needed to win." I looked at Raiden and he looked near tears, jaw slacked and a hand on his heart. "He ended up getting really overshadowed with all the heroes rising because he would've been in the second generation to do so and All Might coming in overshadowed a lot of smaller heroes coming into the job outside of the top twenty maybe. I don't know what happened but I know he got injured and he was out of commission after only a decade max. I know a lot of people painted him in a bad light because he also made people's ears bleed. Why do you ask?"

"Cause I found out, he's my bio grandpa. Say 'hi', I think you just made his day." I said and walked over and got him in frame. He waved happily to my best friend, a bright smile on his face.

"Oh my gosh! It's really you! You- You were one of the first few heroes I researched when I started researching the origin of heroes and when they started becoming popular, you had such a unique fighting style! It's amazing to be able to meet you!" He rambled, making Raiden smile wider.

"Azami, Shikadai, do you hear this? This little green haired boy knows who I am! I'm Kodoku Raiden, it's a pleasure to meet a friend of Onryo's."

"I'm Midoriya Izuku, sir!"

"Loosen up, son. I won't burst your ear drums, I'll leave that to your friend here."

"Right!"

"He's a bit of a fanboy, he won't loosen up for quite some time." I said and Izuku froze up.

"Well then, I'll let you get back to your homework. Thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to meet you one of these days." Izuku said his goodbyes and I hung up the phone. "It's been decades since someone said they knew who I was in my glory days."

"I figured if anyone would know, it'd be him. He's basically a search engine when it comes to heroes. Can you guess who his favorite is?" I asked sarcastically.

"All Might?" Shikadai asked sarcastically with an eye roll. Pops and I broke out laughing, Sota found it hilarious and started laughing too. "Didn't realize that was hilarious." He said after a moment and I tried to catch my breath.

"It's not- Oh my gosh- I need to stop laughing! Where's Hitoshi when I need him!" I said while laughing harder. "Nobody in our family likes All Might! I almost got him fired!" I managed to explain, Shikadai soon joining in on the laughter. Azuna and Keiko came back in, confused as to why half of us were laughing.

"Serves the bastard right. He's full of himself." Raiden said, only fueling our laughter.

"Raiden, be nice." Azami said lightly. "Even though he's a crap wagon, we should still be nice."

"I'd say those are fairly nice words, I could say plenty worse about him." Dad said, making everyone let out some form of laughter.

"Should I ask what we walked in on?" Azuna asked.

"They're all bonding over their hatred of All Might." Denki explained.

"Ass Might." I coughed out, not being too discreet. "Wow, did someone hear something?"

"No, I don't believe I did." Raiden said, taking out a hearing aid and scratching his head.

"So, how did you almost get him fired?" Ren asked.

"You never really did go into that, all I know is that he was suspended from teaching and was made an aid for a while." Denki said.

I picked up Sota and sat on the couch between Denki and my Pops, Sota contently sat on my lap as I explained everything as to why I didn't care for him. Only sparing a few of the gruesome details of the final exam. I had a feeling nobody wanted to hear about how I broke quite a few bones that day.

"Why does Midoriya like him so much? Isn't that like, against bro code?" Denki asked and I sunk into the couch.

"He started idolizing All Might since before he could properly talk. We met in junior high. Also there's the fact that All Might's his main mentor outside of my Dad." I said and he hummed.

"That makes a lot more sense." He mumbled.

"Did all of you really sit out here and just... bond over disliking the previous number one hero?" Azuna asked and we all nodded.

"And made Raiden's day. My best friend knew about him being a hero." I said and she hummed.

"I wasn't involved in that." Yuto said and that's when I realized that he had been watching me like a hawk.

"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom." I said softly and set Sota on the ground near his toys.

I took a moment in the bathroom after I was done with my business, needing a minute to wipe the feeling of someone staring off of my body. I splashed my face with some cold water and took a deep breath. I understood fully well why Yuto wasn't enthralled with me. I got his sister in law sent to rehab. Let alone how I went about it. I was pulled out of my thoughts when I saw the door crack open. Denki had one hand on the handle and the other over his eyes.

"Babe? You okay in here? Can I open my eyes?" He asked.

"You can open your eyes, I'm decent." I told him, leaning against the sink counter top.

"I knew you wouldn't really hear me knock unless I banged on the door and I didn't want to freak you out. You okay?" He asked softly, one of his hands reaching out to hold one of mine.

"Yeah, just, I needed a minute away from being stared down. I can tell Yuto isn't too happy with me and I don't blame him, I just hope he realizes that if he crosses a line, he'll have to deal with my parents. I more wish that he would just talk to me about what happened and ask me what he wants instead of just glaring at me." I explained and he nodded along, seeming to understand what I meant.

"That makes sense. Maybe you could pull him aside and ask him what his deal is." He suggested, his voice still quiet.

"That's a pretty good idea." I mumbled and he rubbed his thumb back and forth across the back of my hand. I took a deep breath and let my head fall to his shoulder, my eyes falling shut. We stood there in silence for a moment, my social battery recharging ever so slightly.

"Ready to get back out there?" He finally asked and I nodded, standing up straight. He pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead and we walked out, most of them were talking amongst themselves, seemingly getting along.

Everything okay? Dad asked me and I nodded.

Yeah. He sent me a cautious look but dropped it.

"I think it's great that all of you know sign language." Keiko said, breaking any tension. "When Shikadai came into the family, Ren and I tried our hardest to learn, but we just couldn't wrap our brains around it. Azuna seemed to take our genes on it, as well."

"It was one of our largest concerns when we had kids, that they wouldn't be able to learn sign language. But Hitoshi and Onryo both knew sign language when we adopted them, so that took away our fears completely." Pops told her and Keiko smiled softly.

"When Shiroka started dating Shikadai, he told us about his hearing already starting to fade. Yuto and Shikadai learned together actually, such a sweet friendship, they really motivated each other." She explained.

"I tried learning but I was horrible. Honey, what signs did I mix up the one day?" Azuna asked, turning to her husband.

"I believe you accidentally said 'shit you' instead of 'I love you'." He said and we all giggled a bit.

"Yep, so that was when I gave up. Even after when I would try, I always mixed up some signs and it ended horribly. Even when I tried to learn English, it was just atrocious." She said.

"We just have ADHD wordplay, sign language edition." Denki said, making Pops and I laugh.

"Shit, I didn't mean to give you my ADHD." Shikadai mumbled, making me laugh more.

"What was your best ADHD wordplay moment?" Pops asked him and Shikadai gestured to his parents, both of them already excited about this.

"One time, he couldn't remember the word for thirsty." Azami started, a wicked grin on her face. "Shikadai, dear, tell them what you called it."

"Water hungry." He mumbled. "It's been over twenty years and I still haven't lived that down." He admitted.

"I have a few of those. Inside sun control."

"The light switch?" I nodded and he cracked a smile.

"Yep, my brother still hasn't let me live it down." I told him and he laughed a bit.

"Good one."

"Dinner's ready, Azuna, Yuto, would you both mind helping me set the table?" Keiko asked gently, slowly standing up and heading to the kitchen.

We all eventually sat down, said our thanks and started eating.

"So, you both are teachers, what's that like?" Shikadai asked, signing as he spoke.

"Torture." Dad lamented and I gave him a bright smile.

"It's eventful some days, just like any job I'd assume. I like being able to see my family while I'm at work, it's an added bonus." Pops said, the two of us nodding along.

"I'm a homeroom teacher for one of the hero courses, so I only work with twenty one students a day, but some of them like to be problem children." Dad grumbled and I smiled at him again.

"In my defense, Izuku would be a lot worse if I left him to his own doing's. At least I reign him in a bit." I pointed out and he nodded.

"I work with all classes and all grades for the most part since I'm an english teacher."

"I was a teacher for many years, I taught elementary school and some of those kids were little heathens." Keiko said with a small huff.

"That sounds debilitating." Dad said and she sighed.

"It was, there were days where I wanted to just up and quit. But I stuck to my guns." She said and Dad nodded, the glint in his eye showing the bit of respect he had gained for her. "I retired about ten years ago, though."

"I don't think I could ever be a teacher." I mumbled, the profession seeming more intimidating and daunting than hero work.

"Me neither." Denki said and I nodded.

"Why do you think I went with hero work?" Raiden asked sarcastically.

"So, Shikadai, what do you do for work?" Pops asked, diverting the topic of interest off of them.

"I work in IT. Computers always seemed interesting to me and the added bonus is I can work from home if I'd like."

"That sounds like a blessing." Dad commented.

"It can be, it's definitely infuriating at times, especially when it comes to dealing with people who know nothing about technology." Shikadai sighed. "However, it is nice being able to make my own schedule. The only time I don't get to, is if I have to be in the office for a meeting."

"Sho, you're not switching to IT. You wouldn't have the patience." Pops told him, resting a hand on his and Dad sighed.

"Fine." He grumbled.

"Yuto, what do you do?" Pops asked, Yuto looked at him uninterested and let out a sigh. Dad shot him a look, clearly perturbed at how he had been acting today.

"Yuto, just tell them about your job. Relax." Azuna softly chided, patting his hand with her own. He scoffed and stood up rather abruptly.

"I'm not doing this. I'm not gonna sit here and play pretend to make you happy. I need a smoke. Excuse me." He practically stormed out and the atmosphere completely shifted.

"I'm sorry about him, I don't know what's gotten into him today." She mumbled and I slowly stood up.

"I uh, I think I'm gonna go talk to him. At least try and make amends after last week." I awkwardly said and Azuna stood up, gave me a brief hug and sat back down. I slowly and cautiously walked in the direction he did until I found the door to the back porch. "Yuto? Can I talk to you?" I asked gently, he let out a loud sigh but gestured to one of the chairs as he took a drag of his cigar. I stood on the other side of him, opposite of where the wind was blowing the smoke and he rolled his eyes.

"What? Scared of a little cigar?"

"No, just don't wanna set off my asthma if I can help it." He slowly nodded. "I uh, noticed that you haven't exactly been happy today, especially with me."

"Yeah, well why the fuck would I be?" He snapped and I sucked in a breath through my teeth.

"I want to make amends, or, at the very least, be on decent terms with one another." He rolled his eyes and took another drag.

"It's too late for that, kid. You don't seem to be able to understand the damage that you caused." He said through gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry. For how I went about it. I- I let my emotions get the better of me. I should've pulled you and your brother to the side and voiced my concerns. I could have and should have gone about it differently, and I'm sorry that I didn't." I told him honestly, the guilt starting to ease ever so slightly.

"Yeah. You shouldn't have put that target on her back. You shouldn't have even mentioned it to anyone. You don't seem to realize how much you screwed up her life with a single accusation." My eyebrows furrowed and I tried to process what he said.

"Are you saying I should have just let her take my medication?" I asked, baffled at what he seemed to be insinuating. He shrugged and took another drag of his cigar. "Wow." I scoffed and he glared at me.

"She's not like your mother, and that's how you keep trying to paint her to be." My jaw set in place, his tone alone was venomous.

"Shiroka is not my mother. I have made that very clear. Unless Azuna told you what happened, then you don't know the half of what she's done to me."

"That's my problem. You want to make amends so bad, be on decent terms and all this? Fine. You want to be a part of this family, then admit to who your family really is. You have a mother and a father, just like everyone else and just like you're supposed to. Blood is thicker than water." He spat, the cigar now in the ash tray, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at me.

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. If you're going to try and lecture me, I advise you don't cut out the important details of what you're saying. I have two Dad's. I have a brother. I have a myriad of aunts and uncles and relatives. I didn't even know I had biological family outside of Shiroka until two months ago. It's been a major change and adjustment. Shiroka lost her right to ever be called my mother. She tortured me. She broke half of the bones in my hand. She stalked me. I'm still trying to recover from what happened. I'm not saying that Suzu is the same as Shiroka, but she has a problem, it just happens to be one of the same ones." I said and I saw something flash through his eyes and puzzle pieces fell in place. "You knew. Maybe not all along, but you knew about it for a while."

"I thought I could help her. She was doing better. She just had a slip up." He said, the wall he put up starting to crumble.

"She got better at hiding it. There's only so much you can do to help a person who doesn't want help. Once she gets sober, maybe she'll have a clearer state of mind and will be more committed to staying clean. That's not on you, though." I told him and he shook his head.

"She doesn't need a rehab facility." He said and I looked at him sadly.

"It could help her a lot. There's a difference between the help you want and the help you need. She might want your help and her husbands help because it's easier, it's family, she has more control. But a controlled facility where she's made to face the reality, it might be what she needs."

"You wouldn't get it, you're just a kid." He mumbled, leaning against the railing. I moved next to him, standing the same way.

"I tried to kill myself when I was twelve. I was done. I was found and rushed to the hospital before anything could happen. Even after that, there were times where I still wanted to end it all. To give up. Some of those thoughts were serious. I didn't want help. But I needed it. I hated myself for a long time because I still had thoughts and I still wanted to hurt myself even after I saw the looks on my parents faces when I woke up in the hospital." I told him solemnly. "It wasn't until the building collapsed on me that I had my major wake up call. I thought I was going to die, and my heart stopped twice on the table. At that point, I wasn't actively trying or planning anything, but it made me realize that I wanted to live. So yeah, I'm just a kid, but I get it."

"You had a building collapse on you?"

"It was more an old yakuza planted bombs and tried to kill me but failed, but yeah." He huffed out a breath and stood up a little straighter.

"I just wanna see her be okay." He told me and I nodded.

"I get it. She's not like Shiroka, but she needs the help that she never got." He licked his lips and took a deep breath.

"She used to be really good friends with her and Azuna." He told me.

"I kinda already put together that she got Shiroka started on drugs." I told him and he looked at me confused. "I can read people. I can also tell when most people are lying. I freaked out your wife with it, too."

"Right, the whole uh, curious or cross checking thing." He said and I nodded.

"Yeah." I slowly stood up and got ready to go back inside. "I'm gonna head back in. Take your time to collect yourself."

"Can you ask Azuna to come out here?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'll ask her for you." I said and grabbed the door handle. "And just so you know, if you ever try and disrespect my family like that again, you'll regret it." I told him and walked back inside. I took a deep breath before walking back to the kitchen. Everyone looked at me, all with different emotions on their faces. "Uh, Azuna, he was wondering if you could go out there for a few minutes." I said and she nodded. I outreached my hands for Sota and she let out a deep breath, clearly relaxed at that aspect. I sat him on one of my legs and alternated between taking a bite of food and giving him a bite of his purée blend stuff. It looked like mushed carrots.

"You seem to be a natural with kids." Keiko said, pulling my attention away from my fork that I was grabbing.

"I've had a few people tell me that. So, yeah, I- I guess I am." I managed to get out and she smiled at me sweetly.

"It's a good trait to have." She told me and I returned the smile.

"Just wait, with the color of his purée, next thing you know he'll be trying to eat our hair." Shikadai remarked and I couldn't help but laugh. Sota was laughing too and I noticed Pops take a picture.

"Keiko's right, you've always been a natural with kids. You're the main person to get Kota to smile." Pops said and Denki nodded in agreement.

"Who's Kota?" Raiden asked.

"I think I got this." Denki said and I couldn't stop my smile as he started thinking about it. "Mandalay and the rest of the Wild, Wild, Pussycata are honorary relatives..?" He paused and turned to me, I nodded and he gained some more confidence. "Kota is.. Mandalay's cousins son, his parents.. passed in the line of duty, so he's Onryo's honorary nephew."

"That's a lot." Raiden mumbled and I nodded. "So why are you the only one to really get this kid to smile?"

"As you can imagine, Kota has had it rough and grief is still new for him. Onryo more managed to connect with him on a level that not many of us have been able to despite our efforts." Dad explained as gently as he could.

"Well, it's good that he has Onryo in his life." Kazumi said softly.

"We're all thankful for that, I believe." Dad confirmed.

We all eventually moved out to the living room and it didn't take long for Sota to fall asleep on me. His breathing steadied out and I felt his body weight drop. Denki's eyes were focused on me, a faint blush stained on his face and I looked at him confused but he only blushed more.

"It looks like he wanted to take a nap." Azuna said as she stood in the doorway to the living room. "Do you mind putting him in his pack and play? I'd take him off of you, but I don't want to chance waking him up. He's been fighting nap time this whole week." I nodded along to what she said and slowly stood up, an arm under his thighs and a hand cradling the back of his head.

I followed her to his play room and carefully laid him down. I waited, holding my breath in hopes that he would stay asleep and I let out a breath in victory when he only stretched but otherwise, enjoyed his nap.

"Thank you. That takes a weight off of me, he's been a terror at nap time lately. Looks to be he's falling back into a rhythm though."

"Sleep is a mysterious thing that we all need." I said and she nodded.

"While I have you here, I got some of those pictures you asked for." She whispered and I looked at her excited. She handed me an envelope and I gingerly opened it, almost hesitantly.

I let out a stuttered breath as I saw pictures I never thought could even exist. I flipped through the sonogram photos, all appropriately marked for how far along the pregnancy was until I saw pictures from the day I was born. Emotions I could never have prepared myself for hit me like a brick.

There was a picture of me screaming and crying, a dusting of topaz hair sitting on my otherwise bald head. A picture of me sound asleep in one of the cribs in the hospital with my baby blanket swaddled around me. There were a few others thrown in there and I didn't bother trying to stop the tear from falling down my face.

"Thank you." I whispered as I pulled Azuna into a hug, clearly shocking her at the action but she didn't object.

"You're welcome, and if you're getting emotional, I'm sure your parents are going to be just as choked up, even your stone cold Dad." She said and I laughed a little. "We better get back out there. So if you want these to be a surprise, I suggest you hide them." I nodded and slipped them in my hoodie pocket, placing my phone on top of them to hide edges of papers.

Christmas needs to come sooner.

Most Affordable Sedans For Sale In South Africa

As a country, South Africans hold an affinity towards sedans for their practicality, comfort, and style. Some of the most affordable sedan models on sale in the local market are this body configuration which serves a purpose and provides good value for money. If you’re trying to save money on your next vehicle purpose, without sacrificing quality in your search, you’ll be relieved to learn that there are plenty of affordable choices. Here are the 6 cheapest sedans for sale in South Africa

These automobiles provide excellent worth for the money paid because they are convenient and pleasurable to use. Whether you’re in the market for a daily driver or your first vehicle, this list has you covered. As such, let’s take a closer look at the best affordable sedans in South Africa.

1. Suzuki DZire 1.2 GA

The old Swift Dzire’s trunk area looked like an afterthought from the back, and that was a major flaw for prospective buyers. The new sedan, on the other hand, has a more unified look and feels different enough from the Swift hatchback that it can justify dropping the Swift moniker. In spite of being 10 mm shorter than before, the vehicle’s width has increased by 40 mm, resulting in a sportier stance and more interior space. This is all thanks to the new Heartect platform, which underpins other models from the Japanese manufacturer, including the Baleno and the Ignis.

2. Honda Amaze 1.2 Trend

Powered by an “all-new platform,” Honda claims the Amaze’s “spacious interior” makes it ideal for families. Its chrome-heavy front end is reminiscent of that of the larger Honda Civic and BR-V. In the rear, the new model ditches the chrome trim of the first generation (although in SA, you can add chrome garnish as an accessory) in favour of a simpler, cleaner design, with the taillights now extending into the trunk.

3. Kia Pegas 1.4 LX

Standard on even the base Kia Pegas 1,4 LX is a 7,0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with six speakers, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility, and more. The LX comes standard with a rearview camera, auto-on/off headlights, audio controls on the steering wheel, power front/rear windows, dual front airbags, antilock brakes, and anchors for ISOFIX child seats.

4. Suzuki Ciaz 1.5 GL

The Ciaz now comes standard with several features, including cruise control, a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a rear-facing camera (which is oddly offset and thus displays guidelines that don’t line up to a parking bay).

We were somewhat surprised that traction control, a steering wheel reach adjustment, and a rear-folding seat were still absent. However, even though the plastics are still all uniformly basic, the additional technology has undoubtedly improved the cabin’s atmosphere (although seemingly indestructible).

5. Nissan Almera 1.5 Acenta

The Almera offers good value, but its interior trim quality isn’t quite on par with that of its competitors. You do get a multi-function steering wheel and effective air conditioning with vents for the people in the back seats, even though cruise control isn’t a standard feature.

6. Toyota Corolla Quest 1.8 Plus

What has changed in this lineup recently? There are now up to six variants in the range, which has doubled in size. The 1,6-liter gasoline engine has been replaced with a similarly familiar 1,8-liter naturally aspirated unit that delivers 103 kW and 174 N.m. to the front axle through either a smooth-shifting six-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (the old four-speed torque converter has finally been put out to pasture).
