Next to dumpster princess this is probably the best father child relationship I've seen portrayed in this genre of comic.
Esp since he was nice to niti
1. Before he had a strong suspicion he was his.
2. Without ulterior motives
3. Bc he acts like a normal well adjusted adult.
Ditto for his treatment of the fl, the only times he's really been cold is when he was making it clear he didn't marry her for pleasure and now he's trying to do 5d chess to undo his own words and try desperately to break thru her trauma induced wall.
I hope he does it gently and with a lot of consideration bc gosh... Seeing how niti cried over what she'd and he had been thru made me cry buckets.
