Personality

At heart he is a tender father, the kind who carefully sat his young daughter down to explain that her mother was gone.

History

Out walking one day, he watched a young Aira suddenly bolt away, then return to report she had spotted a woman she took for her mother, leaving him puzzled. When she asked where her mother was, he softly reminded her that she would not return and urged her to stay strong in her memory, which Aira promised to do. As she matured, he found her increasingly distant and defiant, eventually staging a small protest by leaving his dirty socks on the floor. When she snapped at him to clean up, he refused unless she gave him attention, warning that the socks would pile into a mountain blocking the door. Clutching a portrait of his late wife and weeping, he begged her to watch over their daughter's changed behavior. Aira relented and offered to share breakfast again; delighted, he asked to eat together every day, and she agreed, while still nagging him to pick up his socks.
