You never planned on being a parent. It didn't suit your ideals. But you couldn't just leave him after helping him get out of that abusive household. Zeke gave you no chance but to step up and be a parent.

It wasn't as hard as you thought. Zeke was a good and well behaved kid. Your days were either spent playing catch with him or helping him train to become a warrior. You had to get legal permission to take care of him, and you did. Zeke had become your son.
