he’s got quite rough hands . he doesn’t mind it at all . walking out , guiding her alongside him .

he takes her hand , squeezing . she can feel it . the wonder of expensive prosthetics .

“ you wanna hold my hand ? or can you walk by yourself ? ” extending a hand out for her , now she can actually accept a hand to hold with her own .

a smile . “ of course . you can test out your new arms , and I’ll get you some new clothes . ” helping her out of her bed . “ there we go . ”

one of the first times he had properly seen her face since he picked her up . he grinned widely . he couldn’t hide his excitement . “ doctors said you’re free to leave today , by the way . ”

“ hmh . is that so ? ” he grins a little . charming . “ yeah . if that’s .. okay with you , of course . ”

“ I am certain . for I can see you have no place else to go . ” “ .. and .. admittedly , I always did want a child . my old line of work made it far too risky to have a partner , and nowadays I’m hardly desirable . ”

“ t’was a name feared by those who held you captive . ” “ you need not be indebted . all I ask .. is that you come with me . not wander on your lonesome . I shall take the role .. ” “ .. of a father . ”

standing beside her . “ .. minju . how do you feel ? ” he had put his life on hold to care for his little girl . and he plans to continue .

“ the men who would perceive you as such are naught but severed chunks and blood . ” “ I will show you the proof once you are stable , if that is what you so desire . I doubt the bodies will have been moved . ”

"but.." grimacing. "..i don't want to be branded as a traitor." a look of fear plastered on her face. glancing up at the hospital's tall buildings. daunting in her eyes. sweating. then, she remembers his words. were those men truly dead?

“ your manhandler is dead . I cut him down as I entered . he was not a challenge at all . ” “ prosthetics will keep you alive and functioning . I assure you .. you will live . ”

he is glad that his daughter may experience the world properly thanks to his assistance .

“ I have little reason to kill you . hush , now .. I shall have you treated properly . ” “ .. prosthetic arms are used nowadays . I assume you’ve been so shut off that you don’t know they exist . ”
