Akira didn't answer immidiately. He thought about all those times he was beaten up, the times he was kicked out of stores even if he had money, all those times that he was chased away, and the two times that he had almost drown in the river. "Yeah, I have been lucky," he said while looking away. Maybe he would tell Roku one day how exactly he ended up in the river those times, and how his life has been until now, but that time was not now. Akira wondered if he could consider it lucky that most people thought it was also bad luck to actively hurt a bad cat, so they just ignored him, even if he needed help. He glanced at Roku. Although it seemed like there were exceptions.
