she doesn't like this at all

So by the time I see them again, the next time you put me in a mafia game, the old man will really be gone...

Mun, I can't believe you're really going to go through with his death being "canon" in my universe! I know you've been playing with the idea for a while, but damnit... this isn't fair. It's too much and you know it! Why?! You damn well better not consider ever "canon updating" me to after this point in Exsilium!

He's such a bastard. Why did he think being cold the way he did, all those years, was protecting us?! That stupid asshole... did the idea of dying alone without the love of his kids really make him happy?!

Heh, I never thought losing him would hurt so much. I never thought anything he did would hurt more than rejecting me and how he seemed to stop caring after Mom died. I think I'd rather keep thinking he didn't love me than know the truth.

...will you at least wait until Dad is there to comfort me, mun? Even if my father dies because of... of that, I can't let that change anything between Dad and me. Not when he's been there for me... Yuan would be nice, too, but I'll really need one of Dad's hugs.

[A sociopath? Honestly. He's practical, he's not a sociopath!]

It's not as if you killed him, is it? There's no point in feeling remorse for things you had nothing to do with. And what would have changed if he had lived? Nothing. From the sound of it, you would have just gone on hating him. Do you enjoy feeling hatred?

...he died because of me. I'd say I have a lot to do with it!

[amorality]

Right, right, some self-sacrificial thing. It's not as if you knew. Besides, I'm sure he was quite satisfied with himself. People get off on being martyrs, you know.

[Ryan doesn't get it. Like hell would he ever do that.]

[skirtcladgunner]

Shut up! It had nothing to do with satisfaction!

[amorality]

Didn't it? Everything people do is to satisfy themselves in some way. That's why you shouldn't feel guilty - I'm sure it was as much for his sake as it was for yours, if not more.
