[ The elbow in his face stirs a spark of a fight in Yato, but his body protests -- and shortly after, his better sense. He lets his head thunk back to the floor, angling it to better look up at this family about to pass judgment on him.
It's clear that they have no interest in what he has to say. Even now their bodies are all facing him, but their eyes and thoughts are for each other. It's only natural. He supposes that's what a family does. The kitchen of their cheap apartment is in shambles now, and it probably won't be an easy fix. Someone has undoubtedly called the police by now. Dealing with them will be a mess. Yato looks up from among the pieces of a bullet-ridden table at this out-of-control man, his teary-eyed wife, and their feisty daughter, and can't help thinking that the three of them are very lucky.
Jade called him homeless. It's true, of course. But the word is still a vise that clamps his throat shut. He's sorry that she has to admit to that to explain anything. It stings to know that it will explain a lot. He wants to interject, to explain that he came here without Jade's express permission, that she isn't responsible for any of this mess. But her parents won't want to hear that from him. All he is to them is Jade's fault now, and he's sorry for that too. ]
