[ Oh, literally right now? He seems kind of amused. He started carrying bandages for a handwrap on his person for the week since a certain SOMEONE likes to accost him at random (it's Akihiko) (in an endearing way) so at least he's ready.

Urgh ahhh I'm not a coach in real life. But he can teach Eupha a few things, like where's a good place to punch to stun them, leave them breathless with a knee to the solar plexis, bring the weight of a punch from your spine and not just in your first, use the sharpness of your elbow to your advantage... that kind of stuff.

[ That's okay! He seems content to teach her from the literal zeros. Throw a few punches just to see and guides her on better form, to tuck her thumb in so it doesn't hurt, what the best stance is, yada yada. ]

I had someone to take care of.

[ He always gets asked this question... ]

She's a good girl. Well, woman.

[ But you know, once a baby sister, always a baby sister to you. ]

[ JUST... GETS KIND OF FLUSTERED AT THIS... ]

...I tried to be. I was raising her, basically...

...It would be good if that were true. But I have caused her problems too.

...

Just... things, ways. I wonder sometimes if it was not the right choice, to take on the responsibility to raise her on my own. She may have had a happier life in a real home.

...She does not resent me for it. [ To be clear. Or at least he doesn't think so. ] ...Still, I wish I could have done her better.

That's all.
