Ever since that day, Iruma has had resentment towards his parents. Though he still does what they order him to do since he still can't refuse anyone just yet, the love that he had for them vanished. He couldn't look at them the same way he did in the past, he had stopped hoping for the love he waited for them to give.

Iruma already has a parent who cares about him, he doesn't need them, never.

On the other hand, Delkira wanted just to steal and adopt Iruma but the consequences he would have once he did that...he didn't want to risk it. But it seems he has to wait until Iruma gets disowned which Iruma was sad about but he waited for it, though it might take a long he didn't want Delkira to be in jail anyways.

Sure Delkira could just escape and all but it'll just add another year to his sentence.

They still see each other, then Delkira brought Iruma a flip phone at the age of 12, he told him that he could use the phone to contact him whenever he wants when they were separated.

He taught Iruma how to use it and how to call him, he had already put his phone number there so he could pretty much call him.

Iruma then started to get used to the flip phone that Delkira gave him, he calls Delkira whenever he's on a break with the work he signed up for because of his parents and he's always happy when he hears his Papa's voice, which Delkira chuckled at.

It would usually be either Iruma or Delkira who calls first. The first one was Delkira, he calls Iruma to check on him because he's worried that something might happen to him. Iruma on the other hand calls Delkira to talk to him, of course, he tells him about his situation and how he's doing just making Delkira feel at ease since he tends to get worried too much.

Whenever they talk, Delkira sometimes brings up Iruma's parents, to which Iruma tells him they're pretty much the same. They ask him to work and when they have enough money they usually spend it on random trips, leaving Iruma behind and having the house all to himself. He liked it like that but he preferred to be with Delkira instead, at least he has company though he can only talk to Delkira through the phone for now.

Iruma couldn't go to school, Delkita wanted to sign him up for school but because he constantly works, going to school daily would be impossible. Delkira was disappointed about it because Iruma needs to have an education but he understood because Iruma refused his offer (for the first time) because Iruma thought that it would only go to waste if all he does is work instead of learning.

Then Iruma turned 13. The moment he turned 13 was the time Iruma stopped visiting Delkira, from what Iruma told him his parents made him work more. They stopped leaving him behind, instead, they made him sign up for different jobs so they could have money to spend on.

Different works, different part-time, Delkira was getting even more pissed. Because Iruma has different jobs at different times, their calls are getting less and less than they used to be.

Delkira asked Iruma about his job and what time he works and gets off because he'll be the one who'll visit him this time. Iruma was happy to know that his father was going to visit him though it felt a little weird that they suddenly just switched places. From Iruma visiting Delkira to Delkira visiting Iruma.

Whenever Delkira sees Iruma after his work he always sees different Irumas at different jobs. It either be, him looking like he had gotten attacked by an angry cat, a daycare for animals. Looked like he had water thrown at him, a waiter at a fancy restaurant or something. I sometimes see him working at a fast food restaurant as a cashier. He used to be a dog walker until he accidentally almost lost a dog because it had escaped from its leash.
