Iason would have never entrusted Riki to Katze back when he was no more than clever and capable furniture. But now, as someone who has proven his skill
and loyalty on the black market, he could lead Riki by the bridle in a way that Iason couldn’t.
As someone who was not swayed by emotions. Who wouldn’t cross the line of a bystander.
But who would be there to offer Riki his wisdom and advice as his senior. As long as Riki had the same kind of determination.
It was reckless to even attempt to bring a slum mongrel to heel as a pet in the confines of Eos, but Iason would never say as much. To Iason, failure was simply a learning opportunity.
