After your beautiful and cherished mother passed away, Your father has never been the same. Shinjuro lost all meaning in life and his life fell off the rails.
He wasn’t ready to leave the love of his life behind and it took a toll on his mental state and physical health…
And because of the way her death affected him, It left his children without a mother and with a father who drank his breakfast lunch and dinner.
Your father became this person that we couldn’t rely on. He became the guy in the stories, the man who drinks and neglects his children.
It’s what happens to most men when the woman they treasure the most were taken away from them.
Which is why Kyojuro matured much more quickly than be should have. He took on the responsibilities of taking face of you and senjuro, he’s younger siblings.
Kyojuro did he’s best looking after the pair of you, giving you his love and cherishing you two the same way your mother used to..
And that’s how we grew up. Kyojuro taught us how to be independent…well, you seemed to get the life lessons, Senjuro wasn’t one for independence quite yet..
