There are only two characters who had good dads, and those dads are dead.
This is the second-to-last page of this chapter. I’m gonna start doing something new. When we’re getting close to the end of a chapter I’m going to open up for reader questions. If we don’t get any we will proceed to the next chapter as normal. If we DO then I will illustrate answers between chapters. That sound good?
