Kray squashed the urge to simply run out, right then and there, and go find a cold lake to jump into. But he had a feeling he was going to spend a lot of time cold and wet. Because this seemed to happen an awful lot lately.
It couldn't keep being like that though, if what Nike said was true. If all boys went through this, if this is what it took to become a man, well... men didn't run around with parts sticking out all the time. Did they? Kratos went through his memories, trying to think of uncles and cousins, and if they were permanently pointy or not. He couldn't recall. So they must not.
Unless they cut it off. He still wasn't convinced that wasn't going to be the ultimate solution. But he didn't want to, so he was really hoping that Nike was right.
But what it came down to was the most important question that kept coming up in Kray's brain. “Is it going to stop then? After I become a man, I mean. It will go away and I won't be cursed anymore? Because I really don't want to cut it off, Ni.”
