[WOW, amazing, this isn't Bruce Wayne pretending to be his son. This text sounds so different!! Like a tiny turd child.]

A community board is now established in the center of town to promote the accessibility of important information. Try not to clog it with anything useless or confusing for new people.

Anyone tampering unnecessarily or destroying the board will answer to me.

[Those visiting the board will see it has already been decorated with a map of Chroma and a garden list, but most of the space on the front and back is left empty for others to adorn it with whatever they would like.]

Four years of trying to repair twelve years of living in a twisted orphanage isn't my fault, punk. He can stay in the well for all I care.

[He's such...a liar...he misses him so much.]

[bittybat]

[Damian knows it's a lie for one reason: (nevermind Guren admitting to taking Yuu from bad conditions in under a wing) Guren has admitted to spending four years training Yuu, and no one would waste even a year on someone they hated.

Hm. Guren had said something about "family," right? Thinking people are family, calling someone his kid... Not telling at all.]

What does he look like?

[swordfucker]

Why? You gonna go fight him instead if he shows up?

I don't know... He's 16, he's got messy black hair and his eyes are a bright green. Thick eyebrows too, I guess. He's usually wearing the same uniform that I wear, but with green instead of red, since he's just a private.

[bittybat]

Close. I was going to drown him since you didn't care if he ever came out.

I’ll tell you when I’m finished if he ever shows up.]

[swordfucker]

Haha. Good luck.

[bittybat]

Don’t underestimate me.

[swordfucker]

I'm not. You're the one underestimating everyone around you.

You're strong, but you should know your limits, too, or you'll end up hurt, or getting those around you hurt. That's just how it is.

[bittybat]

Big words coming from the man who does the same thing. I don’t have to remind you. My limits are I have no limits, only challenges. I’m not going to endanger others.

[swordfucker]

There's a difference between realizing when something else is stronger than you and letting it stop you. I'm not asking you to do the latter, moron.

[bittybat]

You’re the moron, moron. I can acknowledge a greater strength without giving a damn about letting it get in my way. Mr. “I’m deathly ill but coming to Siren Island to help everyone anyway” Ichinose.

Do I need to remind you of the Bogeyman again too? You’re insufferable.

[swordfucker]

You don't have to remind me. Don't think I don't think about that every day.

But both of those things are me realizing the strengths of things and still moving forward. I don't have to shout at people not to underestimate me like a child. I'm the one who's careful that I don't underestimate others. It doesn't mean people don't get hurt. People always get hurt. But you lower the chances as much as you can.

Stop acting like you know everything when you don't. You don't have to lecture me on not knowing I'm not strong enough when it's been shoved in my face my whole life. I'm done here.

[Ah, he's actually angry, but it's more annoyance at Damian and actual frustration at his own situation. Talking to some kid who doesn't get the half of it isn't going to help.]

[bittybat]

[The victory doesn’t taste half as good as it should, honestly. He’s equally frustrated by lecturing he hears from a lot of others, namely his father. They just tried to dance and both of them stepped all over each other’s toes like idiots.]

The feeling is mutual.

[swordfucker]

[Damian is still family, he's just incredibly infuriating family.

Not that Guren doesn't know he's just as infuriating for a number of reasons, himself. Whatever!! He'll go angst and train and test drugs and pretend he's fine.]
