HOW MUCH DO I FAIL AT LIFE, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS.
Anyway. This is, again,
telrunya's fault.
Death Note/Digital Devil Saga. Um. S-spoilers for DDS? =D; If you've not played the second game, don't read this!
The first child looks nothing like him and nothing like her. Too blond hair that seems almost white and dark, vacant eyes in a small body. The tests show nothing from him, nothing to show that he'd be able to talk with God. The baby doesn't cry at all with any of the tests and he's left aside, taken care by some of the nurses, but the one thing he is is too stubborn to simply die.
By the time the boy is five, Sera is born. The boy, at least, has shown a great, quick intelligence that actually speaks of the genes he inherited; she has seen reports of the way he works over the computers and she has even witnessed, from afar, the way he goes through complicated puzzles one after the other, only pausing to pick up a tattered toy one of the nurses must have given him.
Last she hears off the boy before he's being taken to another facility to help plan contingency strategies, by the time Sera starts the Cyber Shaman project, he is calling himself 'Near' when asked about his name. It seems fine to Angel. After all, she never gave him a name.
