"Yes. I know how much you care for the plants," Shiki said, "You're a good person, no matter what your reasons were for running away."  

[Cecily D Aria]

Sandra smiled. "If you say so," she said, glancing away from him.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki smiled a little more. Okay that was cute. He hugged her again.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"So what did you want to be when you grew up?' Sandra asked, looking at Shiki again.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Eh?" That question was sudden. Shiki didn't know how to respond to it for a few seconds, "What I want to be?" He repeated.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Yeah, what did you dream of being as a kid?" Sandra asked with a smile.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

Shiki laughed weakly. He remembered what he wanted to be, but he knew Sandra would laugh at it, "I completely forgot," He lied.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Come on, Shiki, tell me," Sandra begged, looking intrigued by this mystery.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"I told you I forgot," Shiki lied again. It was so embarrassing...  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Shiki," Sandra said, a little scoldingly. "I know you better than that. Now, tell me."  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"You do?" Shiki questioned. No, maybe she could predict what he wanted to be, but it sounds strange when an adult says it.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I know you're lying," Sandra replied. "Why won't you tell me?"  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"Because it's embarrassing~!" Shiki whined.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I promise I won't laugh," Sandra said, sincerely.  

[UkyoKuonji2004]

"...Okay," Shiki gave in at last, "Well...Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be a hero. I never narrowed it down to what kind of hero I wanted to be, I just wanted to save people..." He said. His voice steadily got quieter and quieter as he spoke.
