Every kid in that damn orphanage felt abandoned or worthless in some way at least once in their lives. Some of 'em, their parents died -- others, it was people like yours who couldn't figure shit out between themselves and let the kid take the blame.
What's a kid supposed to do about that? You're not. [ Outside of being like, a super murderhands hellion but that's not the point here. ] A parent's supposed to take care of the kid, not the other way around.

[ He's determined to convince her of her innocence, but it isn't easy for Mizuki to believe she has any at all. She could protest more, but he would only do so in return.
So all she's able to do is choke out a small, muffled sound she failed to hold back, rubbing at her eyes with the back of her sleeves. The last thing she wants to do is start crying in front of Wolfwood, but it all strikes at something still terribly raw within her. ]
[ Kids should be allowed to cry. He thinks it's their right.
He'll let Mizuki have this in a way, leaving enough time for her feelings to well without feeling like he's cutting them off, but also interjecting so that she can have a different topic to think about if she doesn't want to. ]
For the last fuckin' time, shortie, it ain't your fault --
[ But then they can get a follow-up oinker and Mizuki can get this mem, it was either this or the really horrifying one but thought this would be nice. ]
