#you realize ur parents weren't actually so perfect and didnt actually know everything there is to life

[yes-my-paladin]

do u think, as he grows up, Yuma will start to see Kazuma in a different light? I mean, he idolized his father so much, and the man was obviously a source of comfort for him. But as he gets older, do you think he'll wonder how things could've turned out if his dad (and mom too ig. Mirai wasn't exactly there a lot either) had provided that comfort...in person? How much more it could've helped to actually hear these encouraging words from Kazuma in the flesh rather than have to rely on memory the whole time?

Idk bc its not like Yuma was a military brat, his parents weren't bound by the govt to go overseas and serve the country....they were explorers. Idk how professional Kazuma and Mirai were in that field, if they did it as a career or just a hobby but if it was the latter....idrk how I would feel abt my own parents choosing a hobby over me.

And I mean this is just speculation and all but I'm just trying with the idea of this tiny spark of resentment popping up within Yuma as he gets older and starts thinking about just how alone he was and why that was. I don't think he'd come to hate his parents; I don't think Yuma is really capable of hating anyone. But I do think maybe he'd wish Kazuma and Mirai had done things differently, been there more for him and Akari.
