The dungeons are dangerous and the investigation isn't finished, but Japanese bureaucracy is getting in the way! I should go to America where I can at least continue to investigate on my own.
My kids?
They are doing great in school, and seem to be holding up well after there mother's death; they don't need me, their only living relative, in their life anymore.
I should bring them with me?
In my impulsiveness I forgot and left already. Tee-hee!
I should tell them about why I left, go back and get them, keep up communication, visit, send support from abroad, ect?
Huh, never thought about that even once. I'm sure they are fine w/o any income, allowance, or resemblance of support. No reason to for a caring and loving father to worry or check up on them.
What I am doing is important to me for my kids future.
My kids mean the world to me, which is why I ghosted them years ago, and recently bragged about not having anyone I cared about a few chapters ago.
BTW, I'm going to send my best party members to spy on help you. Then I'm going to skim their reports, cherry pick the info, and then impose all my prejudice onto you one sidedly, and stick w/ it, despite my own observation. Because I am a loving caring father?
Also your dump of a house is now valuable to me because it has a dungeon. It's mine now; always has been. You signing the lease in your name is purely coincidental, and irrelevant. My word means nothing to me, and your eviction is tomorrow. Have fun living on the streets.
Nothing this guy has said resolves him of what he has done, or what he is doing. He is literally using his kids as an excuse to justify his actions against his kids,... TO HIS KIDS. But his own actions and words contradict themselves constantly. He clearly doesn't give a rats ass about them, never has. But because he is their biological father, he somehow knows what is best for them, despite how little he has interacted with them since he ghosted them years ago.
