Maybe I'm reading it too much, but the father seems like a crappy person. Didn't even contact Ri-chan even once before this, allegedly cheating, and I doubt he even pay child support. He's treating Ri-chan like a chapter of a closed book or something. Ri-chan better cut off ties with such a POS, she got her mom and Tatsu now and that's enough.

I think the dad stopping smoking for his new family, but not for her was the saddest part.

He kinda seems like a POS, tbh.
I would say in general he wasn't one to speak about his emotions to his ex and then found another person whom he could speak to about his emotions. Still doesn't paint him in a good light by any means as he did want the divorce first and didn't even bother visiting or staying in contact. Still don't know if the Mom didn't let him contact Riri out of spite, but I'd need to reread the chapters

My dad told me once that even after the divorce, getting remarried, and that me and my siblings have moved out to live our own lives, he'd sometimes call my mom (who also had been remarried, but divorced again, and is still single today) to see how things are going. From what little I've heard of why they separated in the first place (and with how differing their sides of the stories were to the point that I couldn't keep up with it to remember), I can't even fathom why they'd still keep in touch to this day. Maybe it's because compared to how they were before the divorce, they've become totally different people to where they wouldn't be recognizable. Maybe that was what Ri-chan was struggling with in her inner conflict with the following quote.
It's Papa, but it isn't. It isn't Papa, but it is.
Putting aside the different appearance from aging, though she knows that man is her father, he's become totally unrecognizable to her. He isn't the same man who she remembered him by when growing up, to the point that she couldn't even tell him about her new boyfriend with confidence. She may not hate him, but he's pretty much lost his privileges to be part of her life as a father now, especially when he has a new family to look after now. I don't think she'll want to meet with him again after that, at least that's what this exchange said to me.

They probably do talk / communicate over phone or something, considering Ri-chan knows about his new wife and kid.

But yeah now she has two good support pillars, she probably could move on from his dad.

I thought it was established that his ex-wife explicitly told him not to contact her, tho?


He's not a POS. He's a flawed individual in a complex situation without one good guy and one bad guy. The realization I suspect Ri-chan is having is that he is her papa, but isn't. Just like Tatsu is the Tatsu-kun she remembers, but isn't, and she is the Ri-chan he remembers, but isn't.

I honestly expected more build up to the meeting with dad.

On a side note, what is it with girls and Godzilla? My partner has the exact same infatuation with Godzilla
It's a worldwide beloved film franchise by people of all ages and genders.
