Haruka Yukimura Haruka smiles and bobs her head in thanks to Vinzent before continuing her search. “The book will probably be right-to-left, if that helps your search at all… All the languages Dad used most were read that way, so…”
“It never hurts to have an extra information…!” He had already read some mangas in his past from right to left (with translated German or English, depending on editors), but Vinzent still was used to read left to right.
Haruka Yukimura She pauses for a moment, a slight sadness overtaking her. It’s been a long time since she’s referred to her father so informally…
Vinzent notices this, but says nothing. He doesn’t know her life. He could ask but…
Haruka Yukimura “Oh, sorry… I didn’t mean to interfere. I just want you to know I’m always happy to talk, whether it’s about something serious, or more trivial if you’d rather. Or if you want to plan something to say to someone else… or nothing at all, I guess.”
“N…No, no… You aren’t. I just. Don’t want to drag in more people in my problems. But um… It’s appreciated. The thought is appreciated. Maybe another time?”
If he won’t name people… Maybe he can wiggle his way out of this. Vinzent knows Haruka means well, but he worries for her.
“… Just. I pissed someone off. With my attitude. Once. That’s all. I’ll just figure this out, how to fix it. I’ll do it myself, no biggies.”
Vinzent didn’t want to be rude, but he really, REALLY didn’t want to have more people corner or question her.
So, he thinks one-on-one conversation is the way to go. They don’t need to know.
… And that’s why he dismisses the severity of the situation, that he caused before, in front of Haruka right now. So that she doesn’t… Get involved.
Please don’t. You don’t deserve this.
Some things are better left unsaid. As he continued to browse, he spotted…
“Yukimura…?”
He had to make sure that the first name was… What was it already?
“You said it was Daichi for the first name, right?”
He had to make sure.
