Regrettably, I didn't think things through clearly. I left as quickly as possible while erasing every trace of my existence from those who had any contact with me. I even considered erasing yours, knowing that if I didn't, you would undergo the agony of searching for me. But forgive me for being selfish, my child. I didn't want you to misremember me."
Should I reveal the truth? I had already been discovered not long after he left a few years ago. However, I wanted him to find peace, no matter how much I hated him for his reckless actions.

"Thank you so much. My child, oh, how I waited and counted the days until I would meet you. This old man can peacefully go now."
"But before that, w-would you like to meet my friends? They have been helping me search for you, and I would like you to meet them; they're like my second family." When my father agreed with a huge smile, excitement surged through my body. Was this what it felt like when children brought their friends home to introduce them to their parents?
Quickly bursting out the door, I went to fetch the rest of the family to meet my one and only father.
