The beginning is lonely and the road is hard, but the family you'll find on the journey will always be worth it.' Welcome Home.
'All those years ago, back when we first met... why did you take me in?'
"I was on my way back from a contract - katana in hand - when I saw a little kid in a costume with a mask in hand, blood covering their arms. I looked at you, and I saw something special. A spark in your eyes. You don't remember that night, do you?"
'No. Not really. Only flashes.'
"I asked you where your parents were, and you pointed to the stars... When I looked into your eyes, I saw a child with no fear, no hope, no future, and nothing to lose. But behind all that saddens, and pain... I saw a fire. I saw it burning in your soul; dimmed only by grief. I wanted to help. I needed to bring that fire inside of you back."
