this guy takes his daughter for granted, goddamn.
no dad i know would ever have allowed their kids to call them anything other than dad or daddy. I switched up calling my dad "daddy" to "pa" and he didnt talk to me for a week because he was so shocked. I changed it because i felt that calling him daddy didnt really suit me. He was really unhappy about that but he had to go with it anyways.
this dude started looking towards Keira because she broke her usual routine and stopped being affectionate, and when he realised that he had taken her for granted, he starts to regret it, but his darn pride just got in his way instead when he tries to reach out again.
Yes Keira, don't look back. Let this loser rot in his study.
