I could see his scars. They were all clear to me. This boy has gone through more pain than normal people could understand. He was angry at the world. He shouldn't be that. He's too young.

- Hey, boy, could you help me with this?
- Uhm, sure. What do you want me to do?
- I need this one to be done before the day is over...
- Wow, do you know what your asking for? I mean, it would at least take three days to fix that.
- Isn't this a thing son of Takano could do?

The boy stared at me. Angry and ready to hit me in any second. His tired and sad eyes was still there but just in the shadow of the anger.

- Is this really too hard for you, son of Takano, to fix?
- Ha.. HA HA HA, iiiidiot! I'm gonna make it in time, and then you have to apologize, iiidiot!

The shy and quiet boy who always looked so sad turned into a cocky young man. And when the day was over, the work I asked him to do was done.

- Ha, I'm done like I told you! Don't mess with me, iiiidiot!
- Ofcourse you could do it. You're Takano-san's son after all.

The boy's eyes looked deep in my eyes.

- So.. you don't belive what they other say? You don't belive that my dad was a spy?
- He was a great man, your dad. And there's no way he could have been a spy. Sadly isn't it many people who know this. It may be only you and I.

The boy started to cry. No one had never seen him like this. No one had ever succeeded to put he's heart to ease like this.

- You have fought alone a very long time. It's okay now. I know how you feel. And I promise, you are never going to be alone again.
