CROSS POSTED ON AO3 Being four years old is pretty rough with the whole predicament of still learning how the world works. For Ryou, the chilling death of both his parents created a lot more issues. Ryou was never destined for victory in his life. A timeline of Ryou's unfortunate loss streak: -His parents (Age 4) -His home a few days later (Age 4) (He gets put into an orphanage for a year) -His surname (Age 5) -His new foster family and new surname (Age 5) (They didn't like how "weird" he was) -Foster families 2-6 (Age 6-10) When Ryou walked into a restaurant where everything seemed to call out to him, telling him this was where he belonged, everything changed.
