"Yeah! That was when I came to understand that people aren't all the same. I couldn't judge others by my own standards, even if we were both boys. But as for Cracker, nothing I did could ever make up for what happened back then."
Katakuri closed his eyes, his expression filled with pain.
Mousse finally realized that his second brother was not merely thick-skinned. He had been a monster far beyond ordinary people from birth, able to endure pain far better than children his age, and thus found it difficult to understand the fragility of normal humans.
