He gives up his scholarship to university to go into hiding, which is what brings him to Sausalito where he meets the San Andreas pack (ten years later). He settles into a new home, feeling cautiously optimistic that he has a new home. That is rocked with the sudden return of Sato Daiki, the merman he thought abandoned him. It is a rocky reunion that involves putting aside a decade of broken trust.
