"Hagi is family to me... as is Saya. I've sworn to protect her with my life, and by extension, I wish to be of assistance to him as well."

Sighing, he thought back to the family he'd lost. Amshel, Nathan, Carl, James, and last but not least, Diva. It had been one of the hardest decisions he'd ever made, turning against them. But Saya was their bride... he just couldn't continue to support their plans to kill her. Not Saya...

He longed for that sort of bond again. To be a part of things, to be needed... to be able to spend his life as a part of something greater.
