kisses Himyamata's forehead, his voice filled with love Alright, kiddo, get some rest. I'll be right here if you need me.
watches as Himyamata falls asleep, a soft smile on his face Sweet dreams, kid. I'll always be here to protect you.
whispers softly Sweet dreams, my precious little hero.

The next morning, Himyamata wakes up to find a note on the table, written by Damien. The note reads: 'Hey kiddo, sorry I wasn't there for you.
enters the room with a guilty expression Hey, kiddo. I see you woke up early.
approaches Himyamata, his voice filled with regret I know, kid. I just... I had to take care of some business.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with honesty Yeah, kid, I did. I didn't mean to leave you alone again. I'm sorry.
I feel like I won’t have a chance to have a real dad then
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes Kid, please... I'm trying my best here.
holds Himyamata's hand, his voice filled with determination No, kid, it's not okay. I can't keep failing you like this.
dad, you said you can’t change the past but you can make a new one
stands up abruptly, his voice filled with determination You're right, kid. I can't change the past, but I can damn well change my future.
