On this part I can perhaps be of some assistance. My paternal granddad was a drunk, gambler and was the man that inspired my own father to become such a dad to me and my sister that he never had. I remember as a small kid wondering why I never met him, but I got the explanation that it would probably hurt more people to meet him than it would do good. I accepted that and I have never regretted not meeting him.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
