"Whoah... I'm sorry... What happened? Like is she alright?" Lei asked in concern.

Raven shook his head before inhaling a deep breath. "It happened after we returned from that cruise ship. Everything was fine for a few months until she collapsed. I'm no psychic, but her condition may have been caused by whatever that evil entity was. To make matters worse, Tatyana is pregnant and may have complications, though I didn't find out until her initial diagnosis. It didn't help that her and Nina were close to killing each other. Had it gone on any further, I would've stepped in."

Lei gasped at the revelation of Tatyana being pregnant, too. And that this may be related to the Espelhar. Nothing has been the same since then. And the fight against Nina... Poor Tatyana.
"That's horrible!" Shun said. "That's really rough...Do you think Nina did something to her?,"

"I'm not ruling it out. If that is the case, she'll have hell to pay on top of what she's already done to us along with being Kazama's errand girl," Raven swore.

Lei crosses his arms sighing. "Good luck with that. Her lawyer is just perfect. Do you know how hard it is to try and testify against her? But however,she did give me intel on the Syndicate. However, the lawyer managed get her off Scott free..."
Lei honestly would rather not deal with this right now.
"Whatever happens, I'm sure your God is watching over you." Lei said, pointing out their difference in spiritual beliefs.

"I'm not speaking of a court date," Raven merely said.

"Oooh!" Shun exclaimed as Lei knew exactly what Raven meant.
"The path to vengeance is a lonely one. Take it from me. A man who avenged his father's death... all for nothing." Lei sighed. "I honestly had no idea what to do after I killed the man whom I thought was responsible for my misfortunes. It was like an empty feeling. I had to find myself again. After all, revenge leads to nothing by a cycle of hatred and violence, and look at what the Mishimas did. I was very fortunate that I didn't start a cycle of hatred for years to come. After all, the man I killed could have had a son. Who would later hunt me down and kill me. Then Shun would swear vengeance until eventually, everyone is dead. Tread lightly my friend." Lei said.
"Was that true? You killed your father's killer as an act of revenge?"
"Yes, I believed that it would restore honor to my fallen clan. And I was wrong."

"While I am inclined to agree, I can't sit by and allow this to continue. It's become clear that prison will do nothing to people like the Mishimas and Nina. That much is certain. Our own adopted daughter has been through hell enough after she watched her own parents murdered by Nina," Raven said. "Now all this is only scarring her mind."

"Sometimes you just got to let fate handle it. As for your adopted daughter, she'll be fiiiineee. Okay? I watched my father get murdered by Nina's mother with my own two eyes when I was four. I watched my mother kill herself out of desperation. I still turned out fine. So I'm sure that girl is going to turn out fine." Lei smiled. "You know what they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

"What you could possibly handle is a lot different than her, so don't compare it to be the same," Raven reminded him before his phone went off again. Sighing, he took the call. "What?"
"It's Jones, the other voice said. "Where are you?"
"Out in town. What is it, Sir?" Raven asked.

"Well, I mean, you're right. At least she was adopted by a loving family." Lei shrugged. "I was stuck an orphan, and all I could depend on was myself and my brother. I'm just sayin', she'll be fine, okay?"
However when Raven's phone went off, Shun turned to Lei. "I think he's right. Though the circumstances are similar, she's not going to react as you did. She may end up being harmed."
"I turned out fine. Therefore she should turn out fine!"
"Not without therapy."
"Tch. I survived just fine without therapy. Please..."
"Somehow I find that hard to believe."

Raven's eyes widened. "What!? When!?" His outburst startled Lei, Shun, and other customers in the store.

When Raven shouted, Lei and Shun both looked on in curiosity.
"I wonder this has to do with Tatyana." Lei muttered.

"And you're just now telling me?" Raven said, his voice quieter but still maintaining an edge.
"Tyra is doing all she can to calm her, Raven. I apologize for just now bringing this up as I-," Jones tried to say.
"Put her on the phone... Now," Raven growled.

"You know that I still have to go through therapy to undo the 3 years of grooming that Master Chu did to me... But I thank you for allowing me autonomy..."
Lei nods. "Well, nothing wrong with therapy. I'm just saying, I made it without needing therapy."
"And this is exactly why you can't sleep at night!"
"Hey! Elise was in the middle of a war zone... I just couldn't help but fear the worst was going to happen..."
"Mom went to therapy."
"Because she's an alcoholic. She needs extra encouragement..."
