A new friendship...?
Hmm... well that explains a lot. The ferocity of your attacks, your always being 'on-guard' among other things. Sorry you had to deal with all that shit.
Kelson has a look of disgust on his face and says, "I don't need your pity, Michio. I can take care of myself..."
...and that thinking will get you killed.
K:"What!?"
That's what happened to Richard.
K:"Who the hell is Richard?"
"A friend of mine from long ago. He was a bit like you, except he had natural Grey hair. He was teased a lot at school and I would always hear about it. I never went to his school because I was home schooled by my Guardian Kazuo, but him and I would meet up and do things, plus I being the stronger of us would try to keep the other kids from making his life hell after school. It didn't help that he was also grossly overweight, but the hair seemed to be his major 'malfunction.'
Well after a while he started getting a backbone and standing up to his bullies. He became so paranoid afterwards that he would always be looking over his shoulder and he became bound and determined that he would take care of himself so he wouldn't have to depend on me anymore. Anyways one night when I was away, he was walking home and a gang of thugs decided to have some fun at his expense.
Now I taught him some basic moves to try to help take care of himself, but it didn't matter that night. They all had guns and knives and by the morning light his mutilated corpse was found by the police.
K:"I'm... sorry to hear about your friend, but what does that have to do with me. I CAN take care of myself and have many times?"
'Looking right at Kelson'
I can tell you right now that your frame of mind has to change if you plan on surviving with us. I'm not exactly sure what Piccolo has in mind, but I've seen enough to realize that whatever we're going to have to deal with as Defenders of the Earth, we're going to have to do it as a team and have to depend on each other for success. We need to count on each other and know that we won't be with our backs to the wall with no way out or anyone there to watch our butts.
I was so distraught after hearing about Richard's death that I ran into the woods near my home and just went nuts, tearing trees apart, screaming at the top of my lungs and cursing the Gods for letting this happen when I was away and not able to be there to protect him.
You've earned my respect Kelson. The others, I think, will work great together but it will take time for us to consider each other comrades in arms. I can tell you right now that if you ever have a problem, I'll watch your back. Hell, I wouldn't mind us being friends if you're willing to let your guards down and be able to count on someone. Besides, everyone should have a friend like me.
