#this stupid fucking father cannot show an ounce of emotion because of her own principles and experiences

No one did "a Father's tough love" like Arlecchino
You KNOW she wants to tell her children how proud she is of them. How she wants to know what they're up to and what they like. How she wants to be a real caring father. How she wants to always ask "are you okay? Do you need help? What can I do for you?"
But she can't care. Caring is a lie, and being cared for makes you vulnerable. She has to be strong, because she must protect her children. She must protect her children, so she cannot feel cared by them. However, the children must care for each other, so they can be strong.
They cannot care for me, because they must be strong without me. They should not care for me, only fear me, for that is how they will survive without me.
