Gotta Keep On Keepin' On [Recluse]

Áskell had withdrawn himself the past few weeks as he mulled over his encounter with the Iga heir and the truth of his mother and father's meeting. Alas, Ari did not know if Áskell's mother still lived but he had promised to send word to his sister, Izumi's companion, to find out. In the meantime Áskell's head was left to spin with his new reality and the culture that was a part of him yet he knew hardly anything about. He had of course known there was always another side of family, but when he'd thought his mother had abandoned him he'd wanted nothing to do with them. However, now that he knew she'd meant to keep him and his brother, even giving him the name Ketoru should amends be made with the Ono family…

This new found knowledge gave him hope which collided with the ghosts that haunted him in Habari, lurking around every corner, reminding him of what he'd lost. Every nook and cranny reminded him of his father and his brother to the point he could hardly bear it anymore. He needed a new beginning. Áskell howled for Recluse. It was time for him to move on from Habari.
