[ All right. This is all very complicated, and is dealing with supernatural matters far beyond Kim's own comprehension. Which means that he needs to break it down properly for himself to figure out how to respond. He hasn't worked in Juvie for a while - wasn't good at this shit even when he was in Juvie - but now he's wishing he kept more up to date on the literature.
Not that the literature ever did him any good. He was a traumatized kid too - though to a much, much, much lesser degree - and he never felt any of it rang true. So, dispensing with the supernatural nature of it all, he has it broken down like so, pen tapping in his notebook, pages that will soon be torn out and burned:
Aragaki, an orphan, was taken on by a - deeply unethical - organization for their own subterfuge and warfare. In one of those missions, he accidentally shot a young boy's mother. Aforementioned young boy was later taken on by the same organization, which clearly peddles in using traumatized youth for their own means, in an effort to find the one who killed his mother and to exact his own revenge. Only, after he had it in his grasp, it was taken from him, only for him to have to deal with the ramifications. He writes, Aragaki: shot protecting child? and circles it twice. That sounds about right. Now they're both here, and... things have changed.
Okay. He can work with this. Well, he can't, but he can at least try. ]
Okay. I think I've got a handle on the situation. I am sorry that you both went through this, for the record. It's not the sort of thing anyone should go through. Nor the sort of thing anyone would be able to cope with, immediately afterwards.
[ It feels important to point that much out. ]
He's in a strange new place, with nobody he knows. Of course he would latch onto the familiar, in spite of, or because of, your history. Think you can slip out without waking him up? This conversation might be best had in person. And we're both awake anyway.
