That is really lovely.
Bittersweet. For some, a father's love is tenuous. For me, though my dad was distant due to his dedication to his work, his love was implicit yet abiding.
Cool! I didn't even see this in the hard-copy edition.
My father also was distant; I had the impression he didn't much care for kids. He worked a swing shift and so sometimes, like one of Tamaki's dads, demanded complete silence during the day.
@All--Thanks for the comments. The piece just blew me away.
