Sho half-glared at Maui. "Mind you, I know nothing of my family, parents, if I have siblings-- which apparently I do-- or aunts and uncles!" He sighed heavily and the received another hug from his sister.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know you were suffering like that! But don't worry, you have one uncle and aunt, the uncle is related on the dad side and the aunt is only aunt through marriage. They have one child." She nodded, happy that she could explain the small family tree. "And I hope you're okay, though. Oh! I know, you should come over to my place. I rented a pretty room near the water so I could watch everything."
Sho pushed himself out of the grip. "Aren't you rushing things? I hardly know you, how can I be sure you aren't one of Kura's members trying to trick me?"
"Who's Kura?"
Sho stood silently and just gazed.

A soft chuckled escaped Seth but he hardly moved, watching the kitten stir under his clothes. "Hello," he mumbled in a barely audible voice.
Maui looked at one sibling, then the other. "She does actually look like you. And Kura wouldn't do this, it makes no sense." He shrugged, knowing he had no say in the matter. Iris held up a hand to interject an alternative. "Ran does have a car. She could take Sho somewhere and they could talk things out. Of course, there's the fact that he can't walk, minor detail, but Maui and I could get out of your hair. And Mr. Kirson, where-ever he went..." The hacker glanced around for the older man.

Dahlia went pale, embarassed at being caught accidentally feeding the cat. "Oh, you are awake then. I didn't know..." She paused, knowing that Seth's attitude wasn't normal. He wasn't with any of the members of his gang; sitting all alone against a Quickie Mart's wall, unprotected. His father wasn't even with him and that was the first person Dahlia assumed Seth would have wanted to be with. Something was definitely wrong. "Are you... all right? Where is your father, or Kura?" Or anyone really. Seth looked like an abandoned kitten, which was probably why Dahlia was reacting with such uncharacteristic concern. Canth gave a delicate kitty-burp from within the confines of the trenchcoat and sighed happily, nuzzling against Seth.
