Rediscovering the boy is a pleasant surprise. He expects to once again take pleasure in those terrified emerald eyes, that trembling porcelain body. He doesn't expect the fury or the steely resolve. He becomes intrigued.
On their third meeting, the boy stares him in the eyes without flinching, and even goes so far as to challenge him. The boy leaves thinking he's won, not realizing that the game has just begun.
He leaves the boy with a gravely injured Tsubaki-hime, already knowing how the lovers' tragedy will play out.
“I'll make something of you yet,” he whispers.
