I weep into my hands. This man has already made the choice to sacrifice his love for duty and simply doesn't want his grandchild to have to do the same, no matter what the consequence of that would be. I respect him, he's already given up on his love despite clinging to it for all these years.
Deserves better, but I'm sad we'll never see him attain that happiness (unless the artist wants to continue this story in another work). I wish his fictional self well, he deserves to be with someone emotionally available and actually loving.
I love the bingus memes. It's okay uploaders, you're the one being generous and offering us the story out of your precious time, so all is forgiven.
