She was so familiar to him, as though she was a dream he had soon forgot and to her he was nothing at all but the person who made her glow and she wonders if she'll finally be able to say it- Unaware that it was fate tying them both together now; De...

ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ AKEMI OTHERS ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ
"Please let me go..." Lin whispered towards the handsome colored boy clutching his back as the crew decided to take this predicament to Toujo-san, who so happens to be speaking with the woman Akemi saw calling out for Tanatte back outside.
SQUEEZE—!
'Kenji-kun' only resorted to hugging Lin tighter while Mai and Bou-san muttered to each other, not knowing whether to laugh or pity Lin from his expression.
"That's Lin's secret child." Bou-san whispered to Mai, frowning as she leaned closer for Bou-san to hear her words. "Lin's secret love child?"
Akemi weakly chuckled, muffled from the scarf and sweat dropping at Mai's and Bou-san's conversation— John joining in on her embarrassment.
"Is this the boy? The one you mentioned as missing?" Naru ignored the two conversing behind him about such a scandal.
"Yes that's him." Toujo, stepped near and extended his has to reach 'Kenji' in hopes to get the child away from a distressed Lin. "Here, Tanatte come to me..."
But it seemed his approach was futile as 'Kenji' hid from the priest' hand, wanting to be in his 'Father's presence longer.
Lin's shoulder tensed, awkward and weirded out. "It seems like he's mistaking me for his father, please tell him I'm not him."
"Father...?" The priest eyes widened at the sight of Lin before he started muttering. "I see..."
"May I ask why does Kenji think Lin is his father? Do they resemble in any way?" Akemi asked beside Naru, her teeth chattered but managed to speak out quite clearly.
The priest placed his gaze on a half-face-covered- scarf-Akemi and nodded, "It was over thirty years ago so my memory is not so accurate..." Toujo hesitates but sensing his emotions, Akemi stepped up.
"Any memory that concerns Kenji-kun's behavior would be helpful information, detailed or not."
Toujo nods, "When he sees someone who resembles his father he acts this way— for whatever reason you must look familiar to him."
"Even so, he couldn't speak could he? The boy just said 'Father' very clearly." Bou-san spoke up,
Bou-san's question made the priest sadly sigh, turning his gaze to a possessed Tanatte. "...Although he couldn't speak, he didn't actually lose his voice. On the spur of the moments sometimes he was able to use it."
"If it's Kenji Nagano's spirit that's been possessing the children then it's not like we could actually ask him any questions...unless— Akemi?" Bou-san turned to the heiress who was already shaking her head.
