"If you won't take care of your own kids, then I'll do it for you, you selfish bastard!!! Haruchiyo will stay with me. He'll be safe and AWAY FROM YOUR DUMBASS!!! YOU HEAR ME YOU BASTARD?! GOOD-FUCKING-NIGHT!!!"
And she meant every word.
Setting the phone back on the wall, she turns around, half expecting to see Takemichi and Haruchiyo looking at her with frightened eyesβ
But they're not there.
She can feel the tension leave her shoulders at the sight of the empty living room. To say that she's glad would be an understatement. She's not sure what she would do or say if she had to witness the scared expressions of two children after having a screaming match with someone who has the mindset of a twelve year old child.
But, for some reason, the apartment is quiet.
Dead silentβthe only thing she can hear is her ragged breathingβbut that's it.
Did they leave the apartment? So late at night?
Did she frighten them to the point where they don't feel safe around her?!
Feeling her heart picking up speed, she searches the apartment, keeping her eye out for her son and his friend. She looks under the pile of blanketsβnothingβand in the tiny kitchen areaβnothingβand she goes down the small hallway, opens Takemichi's doorβ
Katsumi's breath catches at the sight before her.
Takemichi and Haruchiyo have fallen asleep in eachothers embrace on her son's bed.
They're safe...
Everything is fine.
And, with a smile, Katsumi closes the door, silently bidding them a good night's rest.
