Utsuki flinched, afraid and confused. "I can just go to my tutor's house," he said, though he was hesitant to speak. "She wouldn't mind taking care of me, and she even told me to see her if I got sick of living with my dad." Now that he mentioned his father, he really regretted running away. He should have remembered that Dad couldn't take care of himself. What's going to happen to him now?

Kenichi shrugged. "Whatever. Far be it from me to decide what you do with your life." He rolled onto his side facing away from Utsuki.

Utsuki wondered why Kenichi seemed so upset about him leaving home. It's not like he was supposed to care about what happened. What was with that unneeded reaction?

"Night, kid," Kenichi grunted and closed his eyes, his back still to Utsuki.

Utsuki said nothing, and just stood and left. It was actually still day time outside, so there was plenty of time for him to do some photography before looking for his tutor.

Utsuki's tutor, Janet Corriander, opened her door, surprised to see Utsuki outside her door. "Utsuki, what are you doing here, sweetheart?"

Utsuki had thought he was ready to tell his tutor that he had finally left his home, but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. Now he was at a loss for words.

"Utsuki, why don't you come inside. You can tell me what's on your mind over some hot chocolate and cookies, okay? I've just made some."

"Th-that would be nice," Utsuki said, a little relieved that his tutor didn't seem annoyed at his previous silence. "Thank you, Ms. Corriander."

The tutor opened the door for Utsuki and stepped back. "In the kitchen, Utsuki," she told him, closing the door.

Once he stepped into the house, Utsuki walked into the kitchen and took a nearby chair. He tried to mentally calm himself down, since he would have to tell his tutor that he left his home. There was no reason to keep silent from her, especially when he told her almost everything.

Janet pour a mug of hot chocolate for Utsuki and herself and sat down across from the boy, bringing a plate of cookies with her. "Now, tell me why you're here. Did something happen at home?"

Utsuki nodded. "Yeah, you can say that," he said ruefully. "My dad's just as ignorant as ever. He doesn't accept or appreciate me. I know this always happens but I'm sick of it." He sighed then. "I got so fed up that I did the one thing I keep saying that I would never do: I left home."

Janet wasn't too surprised. She'd been expecting something like this to happen for a long time. "Did you really? Do you need to stay here for a while?"

"If it isn't a bother to you, I'd like to stay at least until I can find a job and find a place for myself," Utsuki said with a thankful smile. "I swear I won't stay too long."
