[The video is short and to the point, but he thought he would alert anyone who might want to know.]

I've recently taken over the maintenance work of the stables. If anyone ever needs something in those regards, just let me know. My name is Zero.

[He pauses before deciding to add in something else- ]

You may have already seen him on the network today, but my son is here. His name is Ren, and looks very similar to me- [ah. maybe he should also mention the more elusive family member ~~who's much less sociable and polite~~] -as well as Ichiru, my twin who's also here. Although it's fairly easy to tell us apart.

shopping;
[As it is, the Kiryuu-Kuran residence - now with its fifth member - consumes a rather lot of food. Meaning, even though Zero stops by both the convenience store and Bull's Eye often enough, there's always a reason to go. Maybe even more so when they have Mika and Yuu over. He doesn't mind it, though; cooking for others is something he's come to like. He looks forward to doing so with both Ai and Ren.

. . .and speaking of the two, they're both with Yuuki at the moment. Of course he would've liked to join them, but he'll take on the task of preparing for the big dinner they'll be having tonight, as suggested by his son.

Feel free to find him among any of the aisles, his cart steadily filling up.]

shooting range;
[It's a bit after he dropped the groceries off at the apartment. No matter how frequent he comes here, he'll never like how the "ammunition" are made of foam, of all things. Granted, he's adapted fairly well to it. So much so that he hits the target more often than not. . . a major difference compared to how flawless he is with real bullets (or arrows, at any given time). Every now and again the trajectory ends up veering off. It's nothing new, but still irksome.

Maybe he could try and add more weight to them somehow. There has to be some kind of way, while still leaving them as harmless as they already are. Regardless, he'll continue.]

ice rink;
[Zero has only more recently come to the rink; within maybe the past week. For whatever the reason he hadn't thought much about it. Opposed to the other sports he engages in, this is more relaxing. He glides around easily. It's been years since he last was able to, yet it seems he's a regular at it, effortless.]

Yuuki;
[At some point he got a call from Yuuki, asking what he was up to. Seemingly Ai had abducted Ren for the rest of the afternoon. Zero continues to skate until she shows up. She's more than welcome to put a pair on to come join him, but it's up to her.]

So they ran off without you, huh?

[Teasing.]

[Haruka came to Zero hoping to clear up something, anything, about the future he has yet to see. The questions that he originally thought would hurt Yuuki, things she was not ready to tell him, the things she wasn’t sure how to tell him, that morning. So far, he only has more questions, a disbelief for what’s been said. That is not the boy he remembers. The boy he remembers would do whatever it took to keep Yuuki happy and safe, would show her the world she had not been able to see.

Zero isn’t foolish enough to lie, though, he doesn’t think. It’s easy enough to confirm his story, if he truly wished to go to such lengths, and in the end, would he risk the ire of Yuuki’s father to convince him of the alleged path Kaname has taken? Lying or not, it’s not any easier to accept. In itself, making sure the continuance of the furnace isn’t a terrible thing. It’s… necessary, even if he doesn’t care for most hunters or their weapons in general. It’s the pureblood hunt that unnerves him. Kaname wouldn’t…

What does he know about his children? Yuuki has grown, she’s stronger and taller and though she may be just as sweet and kind, she has a world of experiences and memories Haruka doesn’t share with her, has done things and met people he’d never imagine. Kaname, too, is probably miles away. He loves them both, regardless, but he can’t admit that he knows what’s gone on in the time he hasn’t been there.

It’s another bitter reminder that he’s utterly alone and the only ones who can tell him, reassure him, aren’t here.]

I didn’t want to ask her, but I don’t think I have much choice. That’s not the Kaname I remember.

[Not the one he would have raised.]

But since you’re telling me this, anyway, what reason would he have had to set himself on that mission? Why would he have sacrificed himself, instead of someone else taking his place?

[Why is it always the youth in these stories he hears taking care of things?]

[Zero can only imagine all of it. Albeit not to a great degree. Imagine, but not at all relate. There's no what he could.]

It's not the Kaname she would have ever expected, either. But this is why she was holding back, as you now realize.

[Although there are so many more things which he isn't going to - can't, won't - tell Haruka. Those things which only Yuuki can bring to the surface. He doesn't know he's long dead. He doesn't know that Juri gave her life for Yuuki to live in the sun and free of any burdens.]

I don't know every last detail. But he was tired. He set out on that path, and wouldn't let anyone stop him. Not even Yuuki, though she desperately tried.

[Although it reached a point where the hunters accepted it— they even aided him by preparing the furnace.]

He even attempted to have Isaya Shouto turn her into a human [again] so that she wouldn't have any memories of him.

[Something within Zero tenses the more he speaks on this matter.]

That man. . . Everything that went wrong in my life was because of him. All of it.

[It's only because it led him to Yuuki does Zero feel he wouldn't change things if he could do it all over again.]

But I know that's not the Kaname you remember, either.
