Leon looked down at him worried for the kid Masaru looked at leon tears rolling down his face "leaders are never scared..." he whimpered "your wrong there...even the young leaders are scared.." Leon told him then sighed "you know mondo? he was a biker gang leader...do you know he lost his brother..? even he was scared and is scared...and he's a leader.." Leon told him calming down the boy "r-really?.." Masaru whimpered Leon nodded "you shouldn't hurt yourself to be brave and have passion within yourself." Leon told him Masaru looked down at his bruised arm "daddy..said heroes..are always strong...then he'd beat me...telling me to face the pain and smile through it...and i did for so long..." Masaru said staring at his bruised arm "your father sounds like a dick to be honest with ya." Leon said with a soft smile Masaru smiled and looked at leon laughing
"to be honest i would've beat my parent with a baseball bat if he beat me but thats just me" Leon said then looked at the kids bruised arm "hmm...well i ain't no nurse but i do know someone who is" he smiled
