Things like him, dogs that were made in the depths-- they never were meant to be left alone and unguided. A solitary hound is just some stray, and this is something he's never wanted to be, he isn't Heine. He knows the value of loyalty.

[Never mind that it isn't Kirei who is the lost dog here. Never mind that Giovanni knows it.]
