"It's a bit annoying when someone can't see you as an equal just because of your age." Hakuba commented nonchalant, Zechs's words calling him a God damned kid because he refused to let him take a worldhopp to the ark were still burning on his mind. He knew that he need more experience and that there was still a lot to learn, but he hated it when people judged him by his looks.

He couldn't care less about if he was young, or if he looks too pretty as some idiotic officer informed him one day. The important was the brain and the mind, not the looks. On a case, you can't trust your eyes, the most innocent looking person can be the most sadistic criminal. And it was the same with his private life, that was one of the reasons that he liked men and women without distinctions. He cared for the person behind the bodies.

"But you prove them wrong, and you show them how good you were, and that's the important thing. You must respect yoruself, the other's opinions aren't always important."
