     Teresa came home that evening, tired from work, as usual. She had spent all day at work, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms. Her fingers were tired, and she slowly opened the door, letting her bangs fall into her hair as she tilted her head forwards. Nnoitra wouldn’t be asleep yet, so she mumbled a small ‘ tadaima ‘, but didn’t expect a reply. She didn’t even say it loud enough for anyone to hear. She didn’t get the time to take off her shoes, because, when she looked up again, she realized that there was a stranger in her home. Her stoic features remained almost the same, even if a very small frown was not present on her tired face. 

     It didn’t take a detective to understand that this man was Kazu. Hadn’t she told Nnoitra that he wasn’t allowed to see him? And, why was this man in their home? A knot of anxiety was building up in her stomach, and she wished Nnoitra would walk over to her side, but her son remained standing beside Kazu, a little too close for her liking. ❝ What are you doing here? ❞ She finally asked, having regained the ability to speak. Yes, what on earth did he think he was doing here?

(1) It wasn't long before he figured out Teresa had said no to his request, understandable of course but... not something Kazu was going to stand for, she wasn't going to deny Nnoitra a happy life then neglect him it just wasnt on the cards, so... Kazu turned to the one person in law enforcement he FIGURED could potentially point him in the right direction, someone that could help him. Greaves.

   Greaves didn’t know what he should expect from Kazu. He was a man full of surprises and one of the things he liked about him. Surprises though were not always pleasant and when the other brought up the issue he was facing the agent was glad he was sitting in his chair or he would have stumble over. Startled, he took a couple of seconds to give a reply, the information was still sinking in.

     “You… Want to adopt a child.” He echoed, his tone barely hiding his disbelief. For him, it was something coming out of the blue, he didn’t remember the other mentioned keeping company to a kid and yet, from the look of it he grew truly attached to him. Greaves couldn’t help but let a faint smile stretch on the corner of his lips at that thought. He wasn’t sure where he could start on this subject, parenthood was never easy and many children ended up neglected by their parents.

     “It’s not uncommon nowadays that parents fail in their duty, unfortunately… To go against the parent you must build a strong case against them, with undisputed evidence that the child is being mistreated and not only neglected. For example, if he harmed himself repeatedly by accident and left without care.” Greaves was doing his best to bring some idea to Kazu of the fight he was about to get into. “I could hook you up with a lawyer friend specialised in family court cases, I know it’s complicated in Japan, especially for foreigners…” He could understand too well Kazu’s concerns about the child’s wellbeing, but on the other hand it was the kind of responsibility and hope he should carefully handle. 

     “You know what you’re doing right?” Greaves asked as he handed the phone number. Adoption implied a thousand things, including paperwork and of course a change of the way he lived, a detail so many parents forget about when they had a child, forgetting they will have to raise it.
