When Rin grabs for Sholmes's hand, at that moment he also steps on a glass shard, and Sholmes will get to see a verytouchingmemoryof a timelong past. The words might be static at parts, but the actions are enough to show what's going on at least. Even if that man doesn't look like Rin, Rin still looks up to him.]
[While Rin might normally get grumpy about praise like that, his mood is already shot and being reminded of his father just makes him sigh. What would Dad think if he saw how Rin and Yukio are fighting right now?]
Yeah. He was a really good dad.
[Was.
But he'll help Sholmes to his feet before letting go.]
It may be, but losing a family member who cares so much for you...
[And as he steps forward, his shoe touches a shard.]
[The memory is rather simple. A very young girl with pink hair gets up to her feet, toddling towards a younger Sholmes, who, in his delight, reaches out for her. It's her first time walking.]
[He's never been more proud.]
Ah. [And a pause. He looks to the side.] Well, I hope Iris won't ever have to experience anything like that.

Week 2, Tuesday
When Rin grabs for Sholmes's hand, at that moment he also steps on a glass shard, and Sholmes will get to see a very touching memory of a time long past. The words might be static at parts, but the actions are enough to show what's going on at least. Even if that man doesn't look like Rin, Rin still looks up to him.]

[He's holding the other's hand for a moment, just. Letting the memory wash over him, before he closes his eyes.]
I see. [...] It's good you have someone to look up to, my dear boy.
no subject
Yeah. He was a really good dad.
[Was.
But he'll help Sholmes to his feet before letting go.]
no subject
[He bows his head, understanding of what it means.]
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
no subject
[Rin tries to shrug it off, but he does stuff his hands into his pockets when Sholmes is standing up.]

Actually yeah, Rin's face lights up when he sees that memory. It's so cute!]
You really are a dad!
[He isn't forgetting his own pain, but rather is distracted by something much more touching.]
no subject
I indeed am! [But despite the flamboyance, he's just smiling, warmly.] My daughter, Iris. She, of course, is quite dear to me.
no subject
[A pause.]
Or did you adopt her? Adoption's good too! Dad adopted me and Yukio.
no subject
I'm not married, no.
["what about the WIFE" yeah what about the wife]
And...ah, yes, your brother is here too, isn't he? That's very noble of your father, to take you both in.
no subject
Yeah, it was. He never said why he did it though.
no subject
...Why? Does there need to be a reason why?
no subject

no subject
[Not cute, not ugly, just potato.]
no subject
...Though, in your father's case, not unlike mine, there may have been circumstances that persuaded him to take you in.
no subject
Yeah, there probably were. I just wish he would've told me what they were.
[Before he, you know. Died.]
