...he shouldn't say anything. Yukio had already warned him not to say anything incriminating to Xie Lian, that the man could use it against them if he did. But the words come spilling out of his mouth just like the tears that roll down his cheeks, nothing able to stop either of them effectively.]
I- Me 'n Yukio, we- we're not supposed to be alive. Dad was ordered to kill us when we were born, so that we couldn't harm the world.
["Destined to bring misfortune and destruction". Rin is very familiar with those words, and not just because of Xie Lian's memory.

But he didn't. He saved us instead, and raised us like normal kids. He just- he took these two hellspawn newborns he found and said "these are my kids now". Who does that, huh? Who- why did he do that?
