Most people would be wary of dating a divorced father of two. In fact, anyone in their right mind would avoid the situation completely. But...you weren't the best at making romantic decisions.

Neither was Matahiko, you figured. Divorced twice, marrying too young at the age of 23 and then again at 25. At least he was a good dad, though. His bluntness is what got him in trouble with romantic partners.

That's what Matahiko liked about you, you understood him in ways his ex-wives and past exes didn't.

"I'm sorry I came over so late," he apologized (albeit, very bluntly), standing at your apartment door with a bouquet in hand, "daddy drop-off took longer than I anticipated."
