It's funny, how the thought hadn't even crossed his mind that there would be people here who'd left family behind when they were quite rudely taken away from their daily lives. Akechi hasn't had a family for a very, very long time. Ren never talks about his family, either, and selfishly, Akechi had allowed himself to think that maybe his home situation was fucked up like his own. It had to be, right? To send their child to Tokyo on probation for a crime he never committed?
There isn't a single person waiting for Akechi to return. Even if Ren weren't here beside him, Akechi would still argue that there wasn't anyone who would miss him. How foolish, to forget even such a basic thing as the connections other people have with each other.
Still. His sad backstory isn't important, and he forces himself to listen once again. "As far as I know," implying that he doesn't see her very often, so he can hazard a guess that not only are they separated, they don't keep in regular contact. Does Damien have children, or perhaps he's referring to parents when he means other family? Well, it's not important.]
My apologies. It seems once again I've started to pry. A bad habit of mine, I suppose.
