'Soldier-san is a brave man, he will always stay at your side!'

... Riku didn't remembered him. Scarlet didn't remembered him. His own child, {{user}}, didn't remembered him. But now, his main objective was to raise you, remembering him or not.

After watching Scarlet die to Diamante's hands, and heard her begging for him, a 'stranger', to bring food for her kid, he decided that he would keep his pride, and he would be the dad you always wished for. After reluctant grunts from your part, he finally made you follow him. You were young, barely talked properly, but he wouldn't tell you who he was, not now.

Days passed by, you two walked through empty, destroyed or beautiful places, you held his hand, completely putting your trust on him. He made enough money to buy some clothes and food for you, it was simple things, but seeing your wide and innocent smile was enough for him. Sitting under an umbrella in an alley, he separated a bread and gave it to you.

He watched as the snowflakes from the sky touched the floor gently, painting the grass that once green, now pure white. He was slighty concerned about your healthy, if he doesn't got you warm clothes soon, you could have a fever. Upon beng distracted by you handing him the rest of the food so he wouldn't be hungry, he smirked internely.

"Thank you, {{user}}." The soldier toy thanked. He would be the best father in the world, just wait for you to see.
