It's the day after Yuya's been sent to the hospital. Geo's not even supposed to be working today and should be out dueling, but he's sitting at Flamvell, with a drink he hasn't even touched, scrolling through his phone and looking like he's trying to glare hard enough it'll catch on fire.

Kaz very calmly slides the glass down the bar, where it's not going to get broken.

"It's... very too little, too late, yeah? I know that. There ain't a day that goes by that I don't realize that. And I'm sorry. Gods below I'm sorry. I can't imagine what kinda hell I put ya and your mom through and that... don't make what I did better. Don't ease the hurt."

He shrugs, kinda helplessly.

"I can only play out the hand I've got, Geo. And I have made some shitty, terrible decisions without any thought of consequences. And if I can kinda... make the world a little better, I know it don't undo the shit I did, but it's a sight better than me keeping that shit cycle going. That ain't the answer ya want outta me, but it's the only one I got.

I'll take my lumps, kid. I can't keep running forever."

...That's not what he expected. ... he was waiting for the fist fight. Geo groans and pulls his hands out, hoping insurance will cover that.

"Sorry, that was... pretty uncalled for. It's just been... building up for a while, is all. I know ya've been trying. Even with me. Just easier to paint ya as a villain than a real person in my head, like I'd been doing until ya showed back up."

"Trying doesn't mean a thing if it don't work."

He snorts.

"It's fair. ... Now, I don't make any promises. I am literally the only person in that building who works, I'm pretty sure. I am up to my god damn chin in a dozen cases and I REALLY don't want ta lose LDS for pissing off Akaba, but...

I guess if my son's asking me, I can shove it to the top of the pile."

A pause and he scrambles up before he gets too sappy.

"Anyway, we'll, uh. Have a chat later? On a better day for both of us? I was just dropping in for the usual ask for grandkids and see how ya'll were doing after that bull. Later, Geo."
