Niko After some time of thinking and wanting to be alone and after lighting up another hand rolled smoke. Niko walks over to the picture that Shoko slid over his way. Staring at the picture for some time he recognizes that kid. It is definitely him. This man, this women....and Shoko; what a happy moment, and he can't even remember it. What a foolish boy, he has been. Taking the picture and holding back his tears with every ounce of his concentration he flips it over to find the note on the back. Ripping it off and opening it up the note from his father is a heart wrenching reminder to him of just who Niko really is. So much information about his family and his past is within this note. At the end it reads:
"If anything so happens to your mother or I; we would like for Shoko to take care of you, we trust your caregivers for now, but there will come a day when you need someone like Shoko in your life." Niko takes his fathers advice without question hoping to catch up with her before she leaves the area or village.
Running through the halls with his cigarette still in his mouth, he ashes it right next to a room with a student and teacher in it. He had overheard their loudness and responds.
"My name is Niko..." He shouts between his running breath.
"...and I aim to be a bounty hunter." With a smile he jumps out the second story window while shouting that he is to become a bounty hunter. Just like his father, his real father. Landing with a thud and a roll on the ground below he lands next to Shoko and turns to her looking her straight in the eyes.
"My father wanted you to be my caregiver...I cannot make you do anything persay so it is your choice." The note in full view of Shoko, Niko can't help but to laugh slightly as he tries to catch his breath.
