Laguna Loire, or rather, Father... What a funny word. 
Father... It's so hard to think of him as... Dad.

It's so hard to think of... you, as Dad... You left, and 
because you are who are you, you never looked back. Why'd you 
leave? It wasn't me, I know... But why... why didn't you come 
back? Am I unimportant?

It's the circumstances, perhaps.

You left... Mom (that's also so strange to say), from what I 
can tell, to rescue Ellone, but you ended up not being able 
to return, to get back to her.

But, did you try?

Did you ever really try?

You should know, I hate you. And I never felt like this 
before.

I should describe my hate. It's empty. Just like I was, 
before I met Rinoa.

So coincidental, isn't it? Rinoa is the daughter of Julia, 
who you... loved.

Your life is mine, in a twisted sense, but it's so different, 
because I'm so different.

I want to... I want to...

I want you to stay away from me, but...

You're my... dad, and I'm curious.

Curious?

Whatever.

It's a pathetic curiousity, deep inside me, where that kid 
is, who I didn't want to be, and tried to forget by being a 
thing, a perfect SeeD soldier.

But Cid and Rinoa...

Cid's a dad, to me, almost.

But you're a thing too, to me, just like I was.

You're the man who...

You're a thing, but I don't know what!

I want to know, but I want you to stay away!

I want to...

I don't know what you are!

Damn you! I hate you!

I... you...

...

It's so hard to think of... you, as Dad... You left, and 
because you are who are you, you never looked back. Why'd you 
leave? It wasn't me, I know... But why... why didn't you come 
back? Am I unimportant?

...

Am I... anything to you?

I want to be... you should know.

...

And I hope you do.
