Orphans call to orphans.

[soulsrob]

There do seem to be quite a few of us! Though I don't know if I'd call myself orphaned when my father is still in the picture.

He did throw himself into his work and studies though, so I was mostly seeing to myself.

Your Sizhui has his parents too, of course. I think children can afford their parents the opportunity to right the wrongs inflicted on them.

Children should be purpose, not instrument.

[soulsrob]

That's a cheery way of looking at it! I'm afraid not many would agree with you, at least certainly not where I'm from.

One of the many failings of my home, I suppose.

[downswing]

For all its failings, a home produced you.

[soulsrob]

I'm sure the home regrets it very much.

[downswing]

Then, it is foolish.

[soulsrob]

You're sweet, Wangji. If you're not careful, I might want to steal you away from your wife!

Kidding, of course.

[downswing]

The wife enjoys children.
