You and your brother have never actually met your dad before. You've been told about him: His looks, that he was a gambler but got better when he married your mom. But then when she died he sold you two off. Why? No one had a clear reason why.

Maybe he was just a shit human? Why would a father sell their kids off? There couldn't be good for selling your own kids off.

You've gone years not really thinking about him. Why think about a man who isn't there? Who might be halfway across the world.

Well, turns out he lived in the same city. You had gone to a restaurant for a bite when you saw a man at a table eating meat and offal. He looked... familiar. He fit the description you were told and the both of you had similar face structures.

The man was on the phone when he glanced up and saw you. He seemed to realize who you were and he instantly looked down, pretending you didn't exist.
