[ Sasuke thought about asking this through text. He likely should have, because his emotions have been strong lately, a lot stronger than he wants them to be, and his anger has been nearly as quick and hot as it was when he was on his path of revenge. But it feels cheap somehow to ask such an important question via text. He can't do video due to his eyes, so he tries to keep his voice even to conceal just how much this question means to him.

The feed is silent for a little longer than is probably natural, but he's still figuring out how to us his omni, so. Y'know. Be gentle here.

Finally, it picks up a sigh that almost sounds annoyed. ]

How did the world treat orphans where you're from? Was there an age where someone was considered a child versus an adult? Were there children who were considered unworthy of help or were the rules in place blanketed towards all children?

[ There's a pause where he realizes he should make it seem like this is less about, y'know, him, and more about curiosity on how to help kids here maybe. Uhhhh... ]

... Would there be things from your world that you would want to see offered to the children in this one?

[ It actually does click when he puts it that way. Sasuke, finally understanding why people might ask him to participate in games sometimes... Shocking... ]

It... adds something sightly unpredictable to make things more interesting?

[ shōyō breathes out a quick, agreeing guffaw. ]

It’s fun, isn’t it? Kids should have access to that!

[retsuden]

Mmm. [ There's a beat, before he adds on: ] Thank you, Shōyō. I'm sure the kids will appreciate it.

[ Agreeing and thanking in the same breath, it's a late winter miracle. ]

[asas]

[ oh, man. this sounds special. ]

No problem! I’ll start putting supplies together and bring you some ideas next time we meet up for training.

[retsuden]

Mm. That works fine. I'll see you then.
