Standing up, Izaya yawned "Lead the way."

Taichi lead everyone back to the old orphanage where Kyou had dinner ready. Vegetable stew with plenty of freshly picked ingredients.

Tsuru had been quiet since getting downed protecting Yoko, and stayed quiet as they returned to the orphanage. He ate the stew quietly, only breaking his silence to thank Kyou for the meal. He gaze wandered to the dark-stained wood floor from time to time.

Maigo thanked Kyou for the meal, looking over at Tsuru following his gaze looking over at the stain looking over at Kyou "Kyou-san, why have you never pulled up those stained floorboards?" he asked noticing Tsuru seemed fixated on them.

Izaya wolfed down some stew, hungry after the battle when he notices Tsuru looking at the stain and Maigo asking about it....In the back of his mind he remembers Tsuru telling a story about something that happened here but he can't fully remember it. Deciding it best to not bring up, he continues to eat in silence.

"Because of what they mean." She said to Maigo "They represent the moment that Tsuru-kun proved the kind of man he would be, brave, and selfless. Willing to sacrifice everything for others."

Yami ate her soup slowly, not saying anything. The look on her face seemed like she was slowly mulling over things, with a creepy look as she stared into the bowl.

"That is where my life as an orphan ended, and my life as a Guardian began," Tsuru said, not taking his eyes off the spot. "Where I fought, and died to, an aberrant...so long ago..."

Izaya looked down, he knew all too well what it was like to die and then be reborn, but at least Tsuru had come back looking the same, though Izaya would never say such a thing to him.

The whole dinner had been painfully quiet. With Tsuru focused on the bloodstain, Maigo attempting conversation, and Yami having that same strange look on her face that she normally did. This place had done nothing to spur Izaya into any sort of reaction, until now.

"What was it like for you, when you died the first time?"

"It must've been eight or nine years ago...," Tsuru said, looking at Izaya. "Aberrants had attacked the city. We, the orphans, were sheltered here. Away from the fighting. But one aberrant slipped past, and it heard us here," Tsuru began.

"The monstrous thing crashed through the walls. Without thinking, I had leapt up, shouting at it to draw it's attention. When it lunged for me, I threw ny hands up instinctively to protect myself, and roots burst up from the floor to bar its path," Tsuru pointed at a line of flooring that was slightly different from the others, clearly replacements.

"When it realized it could not reach me, it turned on the others sheltering in the room, including Sly...the Guardian you replaced, as he was relocated... As it lunged toward them, I found myself moving without thought again...the roots parted, and I leapt in front of its blow. It impaled me. Here," Tsuru opened his shirt to reveal a large, old scar on the left side of his chest.

He buttoned his shirt back. "We heard the sounds of the soldiers approaching, and it fled. I could feel the blood draining from my body as I lay there in a warm pool. I did not feel fear, simply...relief. Relief that the other children were safe, even those who teased me for my reserved nature and my interest in gardening. I remember my hand falling to the floor, and I lost consciousness."

"As I am told, what happened next was something like this," Tsuru said, taking a small seed from a pocket in his clothes. "One of these seeds, a plant called the Liferoot, had clung to my clothing from the garden. It fell into the pool of blood as my hand fell, and took root there. The Liferoot is a symbiotic plant. It feeds on blood, and uses its own energies to heal its host, so that both may live longer. And so that plant fed on the blood that had been spilled, and restored me. Though it passed once the pool of blood was exhausted, I have grown many more from its seeds. You have likely seen me use them in battle," he said, stowing the seed.

"When next I woke, I was in Taichi-dono's arms, and that is all I recall. Though perhaps Kyou-sama could tell it better. She witnessed the whole event."
