"..." There was a slight edge to his usual level of gruffness, one that denoted a topic he wasn't exactly excited to get into.

They were good friends at this point, they knew each other very well. But this was a topic he'd never even brought up with Tsukino.

"...Mari, be absolutely honest with me, ok?" He was well aware that kind of thing would put her on edge, but well, there wasn't a lighthearted way that this conversation could go.

"Do you think my dad was a bad person?"

From the day he had seen his dad scorched to death by Guardian Ratha, until the day he and Mari had become proper companions instead of first bitter enemies, then bitter associates - he had never questioned if what they'd been doing that day was wrong.

It was provably, categorically wrong. They'd unknowingly been paid by an apocalypse cult who had lured them to try and end the world. They'd trespassed on restricted territory and shot at not just an uncommissioned Rathalos, but the island guardian.

To anyone besides his horrified child and entourage that day, his father clearly had it coming.

But in all his memories, his dad was a good man. The dad whose profession was the most noble thing in the world, and so it was forgivable that he wasn't home when he said he'd be. Kyle had wanted to be just like him. He'd looked up to him more than anyone.

When he thought, for the first time, that Ratha wasn't exactly a harbinger of death, he had to question his family in absentia. It was uncomfortable and disconcerting, he pushed it away. What would it mean for him if that were true?

What did it mean, that it was true?

Why was he a hunter, if the dream of heroics and awesome had been built on a foundation of vapour?

What would his mother say if he committed those thoughts to heart?
