A dark visage passed in the corner of my eye, and I turned trying to catch it.

"Takahiro...?"

"Who's Takahiro?" The rumbling voice of my father reached me and I flinched.

"Ah, Takahiro is my friend, father."

"Hah. Sure." The look he threw my way made me want to sock him in the face. I had no idea I could even experience this. A fury that made me want to hurt the man who had done such to me my entire life.

Before I could open my mouth and make such a mistake my mother pipped into the conversation.

"Do you have anything to say, honey?"

The glare that settled on my mother was as heavy as his hands, and made me sick to my stomach.

"I told you. Why would I say such a thing to someone that's not my son."

"He is your son!"

My mother's cry drew eyes in the bustling crowd, and soon a small space was created between our group and the rest of the people around us.
