4 How

When I said that I realized that I had stood up and was screaming, I shut up and sat down again, I was looking at the pod with the orange glass with .... a baby inside.

<Hanako-san 7 40 please tell me how is this possible?, what you told must have happened more than years ago, but the state...of baby barely seems to be months old, can after that, did he know who were when...you together?< p>

I asked Hanako I still could not believe what she told me, how could she have had relations with that rabid dog Johnny Silverhand, that man had assaulted our base in Night City several times, for God's sake he even put a nuclear bomb, killing thousands of Arasaka workers, and now I find out that Saburo's favorite daughter had intimate relations with that man, even created a new life.

Affirming Hanako continued speaking.

<When I heard what the blonde woman said, wanted to come out from where was hiding and say that it a lie. but were they?< p>

I didn't know, I was always good at moving around the net, but I never looked for our family's secrets, when I heard John answer her, saying that he wish he could kill every single member of the Arasaka family himself. It broke my heart, the first time in my life I had ever fallen in love with someone. If he knew who I was he would kill me?

I wanted to shout, that we were not that bad, that I have never done anything wrong or hurt anyone.

But remembering my actions...I also remembered where I grew up, in a safe, warm, beautiful place with people at my service and protection taking care of me 24/7 even people going so far as to give their lives for me, I realized that while I had done nothing wrong, I was also complicit in my family's actions.

I remembered your teachings especially the Chugi or responsibility.

Having lived my life with all those wonderful deeds, it also means that the sins belong to me, after all, the responsibility of having lived my life in the light makes me also responsible for its shadows and its consequences of everything that it derives from, doesn't it Musashi-san?>

When Hanako told me that, I didn't know what to answer, partly I was glad that my conversations that I had with little Hanako had marked her so much, as to remember them in her bad moments, but another part I wanted to tell her, that she didn't have to think like that, that just Saburo, her half brother Kei who is no longer here, even me, we have done all those bad things so that she doesn't have to feel guilt or responsibility, that for us it seemed good to sacrifice our souls, as long as a part of them that in this case was Hanako herself was free, without ties, without remorse or guilt, that's why Saburo didn't send for her when she escaped, if Hanako had decided not to return, to relegate the Arasaka surname being free and happy, then Saburo would have left her.

Seeing me in my thoughts Hanko responded to the question I had asked him.

<No, he didn't know my name, asked me after the attempted robbery, but I stuttered and just said Hana. To answer you about...my baby>

Hanako said while looking affectionately at what she could intuit as a sort of portable artificial incubator where baby was swimming.

<When 7 I finished listening to the conversation John had with what later learned was Altiera Cunningham, returned where left Av crying because of heard, lucky still there, and Japan without saying anything anyone, i dont know if looked for me, he suffered left, or maybe indifferent, just wanted remember wonderful days we spent together before learning his deep hatred towards Arasaka darkness my Family>.

<I apologized to my father, from then on it's the story you know, Father just nodded his head and nothing more, for me everything changed when two weeks passed I felt weak, although slept plus was vomiting in mornings, alerting maids, it took a short time realize what all these things meant, pregnant by random man at time, one had relationship with only moment of freedom have ever life>.

<When I found out didn't know what to do. Do tell anyone?, do my father?, answered all those questions with a no, knew would happen if told them had occurred. could put the unborn child in danger, just because of some people within corporation itself might think bastard, fatherless Saburo Arasaka's Daughter, so decided not anyone, besides. wanted son live on his own terms free from interference others, cold and empty corporate life. Without shadow Arasaka tormenting him. As have liked life>

Hanako interrupted her story as she closed her eyes as she did when she decided to tell me all this, but when she opened them it was different, now when she opened them she looked like another person as if the face she had before was a mask, it reminded me of the face Saburo made when he acted as the head of the Arasaka family and corporation, cold with no compassion or empathy, just sharp and icy eyes.

<Also after I found out was pregnant thought, thought about what to do with my life, could happen child, then remembered again your teachings Musashi-San or maybe Sensei at this point, so came up a plan; looked for doctor inside Arasaka who remove fertilized embryo from uterus, put it in state of stasis, keep frozen until can prepare me more, that be born safely, grow happily, also free, without anyone knowing exists, When the finished whole process, he son just zygote, mobile refringent device, and. .... hacked doctor. killed him, no one would know secrets.>

<Hanako-Sama you, I killed an innocent doctor!> I said surprised while Hanako coldly admitted that she had killed a person.

<Surprised Musashi-san? Tell me why are you surprised, guys have been doing much worse things than killing a supposedly ``innocent doctor'' so tell Musashi-san surprised>

Hanako said to me, with cold eyes and indifferent to my words of surprise and reproach, at his admission of having killed someone, he doesn't mind having killed?

<You know Musashi-san when I found out was pregnant, it also looked up a little, just little the things that our family had been doing, surprised, understood why so many people hate us, since decided to accept responsibilities of two faces being an Arasaka means, could act like one right?, So no Musashi responding your expression, don't care what you think about me, nor plans my father older brother Kai and created, future wanted for live as with all implications means both good bad>.

When did she change so much? Saburo old friend I think we have underestimated your daughter.

<As for the doctor, before I called any looked one who had a record, was corrupt or traitor within Corporation, haven't changed as much you think Musashi, just lost my innocence and ignorance now have something more important than myself to protect, doing anything protect him, even if kill, will lie, do whatever make child live>

When she finished her sentence she stared into my eyes with a fierce look, almost looking like she was threatening me, when I saw that I could only see a Ōkami who was looking at me fiercely while protecting her puppy, I could only smile with pride to see Hanako's fierce and determined look of protecting her baby.
