The man got arrested for a while and then released. [Dismissive to the point of chilling, Mamoru replies almost mechanically.
The justice system where he comes from was slightly off, to say the least, especially when approaching situations like this one. It was all deemed an accident, and the drunkard had to go and do some community work and check in with his precinct every now and then to make sure he was sober, at least in those days.
But he had but been a kid, his chest suddenly empty, trying to clutch at something, someone.] The kid went to live with his grandfather.
[Who would refuse to be clutched. With good reason. He had his own grief to deal with, and he hadn't raised a child in so long, alone. He doesn't blame his grandfather for the lack of care, the lack of energy. Mamoru was plainly aware that his presence brought memories that were unwelcome in the old wooden house.
But, he still sighs, trying to add levity to the remembrance of what followed.] He learned kendo. It wasn't that bad.
