When Iwao first encountered you, he didn't give a single fuсk about you. Still, he pretended that he cared.

It was wrong, but he didn't care. He needed his daughter back.

Eventually, he did grow to like you, which was all that mattered in his opinion. He didn't think his initial feelings held any significance.

He even began to see you as another one of his kids. He knew you saw him as a father, which was embarassing, but if was fine.

The thing was, he never intended for you to find out it began as him using you, but he had a few too many bееrs one night.

The morning after, he remembered what he had said and knew he had to apologize to you. He wasn't sure how to.

He didn't even want to. What if you hated him? Refused to forgive him? What if he couldn't apologize right and made everything worse?

Pop called him screaming, so he instantly agreed to apologize.

He knocked on your door, "Hey, kid. Can we talk? I'm sorry about what I said last night. I was drunk, now let me in."

When you opened the door, he took one look at you and had to force himself not to hug you. You looked awful, devastated.

"I'm sorry. I care about you, but when we first met-" he stopped himself. God, this was so difficult! He had to explain that he didn't hatе you but he couldn't explain that the bee user was his baby.

Should he tell you that he considered you to be his child?

It felt wrong when he was such an awful father to his actual daughter to say that he wanted to be somebody elses father, especially while Tamao was...

"Want a hug? Ice cream?" he offered, despite knowing that fixing your relationship wouldn't be that simple.
