OOC: This is going to read like a fic. For the events that I've planned for week 12, I figured I'd write a lead-up to it involving the conversation between Ohno and his mother that will lead him to the decision he's going to make in week 12. Read if you want to know what's going on. XD

The instructions had been simple enough: Meet me at my suite at Noon, Satoshi. And don't bring the boy. Intent on taking the subway, a car had arrived for him at 11:15am instead. Ohno frowned - he hated it when his mother flaunted like this. He was perfectly happy taking the subway.

But he'd not complained, and now he found himself standing in front of an expensive looking door, his hand poised to knock. His mother beat him to it, though, opening the door with a smile. He definitely didn't like the look of that smile.

"Ma, what's up?" he asked, trying to be as non-chalant about this as possible. He doubted it would end that way. Ohno knew what she wanted, though he really didn't feel like giving it to her.

"Oh, Satoshi, come, sit down. There doesn't have to be anything up for a mother to see her son!" Which, of course, there was. There always was. His mother always had something up.

She ushered him to the sitting area of her far too-luxurious suite and had him sit, pouring them each a cup of tea in china he was a bit scared to even touch.

It was then that he saw them, lined out on the table. Pictures. Pictures of he and Meisa shopping for costumes, hugging outside of the shop and kissing cheeks. Pictures of Maki and Nino being cuddly in Bluebell and flirting shamelessly. He sipped his tea, trying his best to ignore them, though he knew it wouldn't work.

"Satoshi," his mother began, clearing her throat and setting her cup down gently. She looked honestly concerned, though Ohno had given up on trying to believe her concern years ago. "This isn't right. That boy isn't faithful to you, as you can see. I saw them with my own eyes, cuddling and flirting like that! Did you know about it, Satoshi? Is that why you went out with that beautiful Doctor Kuroki? She's a much better match for you than that, that, that boy! Even if she isn't merfolk!"

Ohno sat silent, worrying his lip. How did one explain to their mother that no, their boyfriend wasn't cheating on them, he was just being cuddly with the girl they were both absolutely crushing on. And had kissed rather shamelessly during Aiba's Halloween party. Threesomes like that just weren't something you explained to your mother.

He stayed silent and his mother took that as a response - he knew but he wasn't doing anything about it. Sighing, she placed a hand over his.

"Satoshi, your father is aging, ill. You and your sister are his only heirs and she's inherited a kingdom of her own from her husband! It's your duty to produce an heir for your kingdom, to take it over when the time comes, but instead you're galavanting around with some fay boy who doesn't even remain faithful to you!" Sighing, she shook her head and withdrew a bit.

"Please, Satoshi, if not for me, then for your father. Come home?"

Ohno bit his lip harder, his mind swirling with everything. She knew his weak point, and she knew it well. Setting the tea cup down and standing, Ohno muttered softly: "I have to go."

Without a look back, he grabbed his coat and fled back out onto the busy streets of the home he loved best.
