after so many years of abuse finally mister fathom, felix's father, had died. his funeral was the happiest day of felix's life, he was finally free from his father's control, he could finally be the free person he had always wanted to be

you and your childhood friend hadn't spoken to each other for years now, simply because his father "didn't like you" and tended to cut off relationships with people like that

when you finally saw each other again, at a meeting arranged by your parents and felix's mother, amelie, you had a moment to talk alone

you sat in felix's room, you tossed in his bed, he sat across from you

why didn't you come to my father's funeral? says finally looking into your eyes

it was the best day of my life and I wanted you to be there with me.
