If there was ever any doubt that Schuldig had shown Robin his past, that statement erased it. Omi had never told anyone about Kuro. To his knowledge, the only other people who knew at all were Manx and his uncle. The mention of him brought on a fresh pang of sorrow. He'd really loved that dog.
He could not deny that it had hurt to have to kill him, either. It was a valuable, probably necessary training exercise for the sheer mental will it took... and as long as the dog had to die... but oh, it had hurt. And that was an uncomfortable truth right then, because the reasoning made sense looked at from the outside-- it made it more understandable why Robin was calling his training by such an awful word. Without the experience to help someone understand why it had been important... and still. That poor dog.
Omi looked at his knees when he answered. "That was so sad. Why do so many bad things happen to innocents..."
