【GaloLio】The way home

No matter how dull people are, they can find that Gallo's life trajectory has changed a lot.

In the past, the guy who was ordered to be driven away by the deputy captain Remy because he often stayed overnight at the fire brigade headquarters, now as long as there is no urgent duty, he will enter and leave the headquarters on time according to the shift time, and clock out when the work is over.

He began to frequently go in and out of small shops that he didn't pay much attention to before, and occasionally stopped at the entrance of the dessert shop, and would insert a few housework secrets into the topic of chatting with other colleagues in the workplace.

In the apartment where the two lived together, there were various items belonging to Leo.When encountering relatively large amounts or necessary expenses, Gallo would obediently deduct them from the account designated by Leo's lawyer, but the rest of the time he simply did as he pleased.

The flower shop I passed by a few days ago was selling mini potted plants. The clerk said that this succulent plant does not need special care and has a cute appearance. It is used to decorate the room and make people feel relaxed.

Gallo bought two of them and took them home. The young man was overjoyed when he received this unexpected gift. He specially tied colorful ribbons on the potted plants and watered them every few days.

Probably because he has been with the fire for many years, Leo seems to instinctively reject the wet touch, so Gallo installed a small dehumidifier in the apartment, and bought a large umbrella and waterproof rain boots, so that even if Leo You won't get wet even when you go out on a rainy day.

The juvenile is not unresponsive to such obvious care, sometimes he is surprised, sometimes shy, and more often he will seriously emphasize "thank you, but you don't need to bother me so much"; but Gallo is as stubborn as a cow in this regard guy.

These behaviors are not a momentary passion or impulse, but something he feels right and willing to do after thinking about it, so he puts it into action.

I thought so when I was saving Leo and the world, and I decided not to hate Gulei; now that I stay by Leo's side, I hope to see more of his happy face, and I think so even more.

Aina said that the current Gallo is like an overprotective parent. The young man who was labeled put his arms around him and replied confidently: "Of course! I, Gallo Timos, am a qualified guardian!" Then a voice came from behind Rukia couldn't stop giggling after biting the lollipop.

Gallo felt that this was very good. The different life trajectory from before gave him a very real feeling of "usefulness".

Isn't a title like "hero" meaningless if you can't let the person you want to protect live with peace of mind.

Due to the constraints of legal obligations, Leo's current scope of activities is still very limited.

Without the help of Promea, the young man could no longer imitate the flame locomotive that used to run between the cliffs. Now he mainly travels on foot. In addition, there is Gallo's imposing motorcycle. The young man even bought it for him. A small size helmet.

Leo, who is no longer a burner, no longer wears the all-black leather jacket that tightly outlines his body.

Part of the reason is that Gallo will stock him with clothes from time to time, so there are plenty of teenage options, like a well-shaped cap, lightweight loafers, and well-fitting jeans that are just the right length and width. Block the GPS tracker on Leo's ankle.

Gallo sometimes thinks that the current Leo seems to be breaking away from the impression they had when they first met, and returning to what a teenager should have been.Those hard steel armors and black leather clothes with locks are like specially designed to wrap up the surging flames in the boy's body, but now the energy with infinite power and pain and responsibility has been fully released, those closed Material is no longer a necessity.

Strictly speaking, Gallo and Leo are in a contractual relationship in the legal sense, but the actual perception is another matter.

When there is no commute, the young guardian will put on a sports coat and big sneakers, and take his ward out with him.

Due to Gallo's eye-catching hairstyle and physique, occasionally citizens would recognize his identity, but more often, the two people with disparity in height and physique would be regarded as a young couple who were dating, and they would meet each other at the dining place. They are given free desserts by their favored shopkeepers.

At first, Gallo was worried that Leo would be upset because he was treated as a girl—although he felt that Leo’s beauty and handsomeness had nothing to do with gender—but the boy’s reaction was unexpectedly calm, and he smiled at him after eating dessert. Said: "So what does it feel like to be treated kindly as an ordinary person??" Those bright purple eyes were gentle and moist, and Gallo couldn't tell whether it was sadness or something else.

They have also encountered demonstrators holding cards and cursing the Burner on the street, and some of them will deliberately rush forward to engage in physical collisions. At this time, Gallo will reflexively keep Leo behind him, and then out of public officials' approval The duty is to patiently persuade and persuade as much as possible.

After the situation cools down, Gallo will pull Leo away from the scene, slandering those who cannot get rid of their paranoia and hatred; on the other hand, Leo, who was directly subjected to strong malice, rarely overreacts, and often uses the phrase "don't care" to understate strip off.

Such a reaction made Gallo feel a sense of frustration. His self-esteem as a firefighter who was proud of protecting others seemed to have lost its usefulness against Leo's toughness.

Reconstruction after a disaster is doomed to be made up of boring, trivial, heavy and repetitive labor stacks; devout people will add a sincere "may the Lord bless you with success" in their prayers, but reality is never tolerant.

Brawls, robberies, sexual harassment and rape, and occasional homicides have not been slowed down by the disappearance of the Burner group. The work reports of the fire brigade and other security forces have shown that the crime rate has increased and worsened.

On the contrary, those original burners who were "not guilty" and released because they did not directly participate in the "crazy burner" activities, many of them had the experience of being displaced, actively participated in the reconstruction in this chaotic environment, and taught others Simple building skills and medical first aid techniques, assisting in the distribution and distribution of food, and providing special care for women and children; there are also a small number of young men who spontaneously organize volunteer teams to maintain order in the community, showing extreme resentment and humiliation around them endure.

The "Burning Man" who has been stigmatized for a long time is like a fig leaf for "ordinary people". After the label is torn off, the selfishness, incompetence and anger of other people in the world are fully exposed.

What an ironic social situation.

Gallo has never been a cynical person, but he has seen too many such scenes in the past few months when he traveled to the rebuilding scene of various divisions.

He sometimes imagines what kind of person he would be, what kind of fate he would experience if he was born as a "burner", and how he would respond to this society soaked in malice.

Just the slightest thought of this kind of thought gave him a headache.

Gallo would not back down in front of the raging flames, he tried his best to take risks to save people, and he never complained when he worked diligently to assist the reconstruction of the city. Those were his wills that he sincerely wanted to realize.

But he thinks he can't be a leader like Leo, he is willing to build an ideal social structure from scratch, he is hurt but promises not to hurt innocent people, he burns his life and wants to find a self-sufficient home for his kind, not blindly Anger at this society and group of "humans" who have caused them so much suffering.

Leo, who poured out his emotions and Promean energy because of the injustice suffered by his kind, never considered himself—the anger was so real, and the nobleness was so sacred.

Gallo Timos felt that in his future life, it would be impossible to meet another person like Leo Phutia.
