Furuta’s clingy daughter melts his heart, from the moment she is born. She’s placed in his arms and her wails instantly quiet. Her eyes meet his – and he sees that she has his dark hair and his mole, and bam! he’s convinced that she is the greatest person alive.
Having a child dote on him makes him feel worthwhile, like all his bad misdeeds aren’t the sum of his life.
Sometimes he cries when she asks for hugs. He’ll never deny her, because he remembers when Tsuneyoshi denied him and that still hurts.
He loves helping her dress in fancy outfits and playing tea party. She’s his princess, and he wants her to have everything he didn’t.
His favorite nights are when she asks if she can sleep in bed with him and her mom.
She asked to hold his hand as he walked her to school on her first day, and he told her he was proud of her because that’s the one thing he always wanted to hear. She seems to like it, too.
When she gets older, she often turns to him for friend and boy advice. He’s funny and nonjudgemental, which she loves him for.
If you try to date his teenage daughter, he would have zero problems reminding you that he’s happy to turn you into paté.
