Before I got here. The last day I remember from back home. He came to my house. He got into some trouble and I took him in and tried to help. There were some problems- Yeah. But we were going to figure it out. I didn't really know what he needed but I was trying.
I hear things go to shit back home after that. And I can't help that. I know what I was trying to do.
When he got here- I've offered to let him stay with me. I've tried to reach out a couple times. Just- Show him that I'm around and want to talk. Or tell him he's doing good. I never got that as a kid. I've... Well I guess we're pretty different. Each time I've got told to go away or that he needs space. And I've tried to respect that.
Mostly because Chizuru is so worried about what to do here. It feels right to communicate what Robby told her to Johnny here, because it might be the only way to give the man an idea of what Robby told her, of what he might want.
On the other hand, it feels a little like betraying Robby's trust. What if he doesn't want her to tell him? She imagines that might be the case..
.. it feels a little like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
On the other hand, reading what Robby's father is saying here, it sounds like he really does want to work things out. Like things are maybe better with him than they are with Chizuru's own dad.
So.. ]
he told me he wanted to see you
[ Sorry, Robby. ]
he wants you to be the one to reach out rather than him having to ask you to see him that is all i know sir i hope it helps i think he would be happier with you than without you
[There is a pause and he keeps that in mind for the future. He's not really sure how exactly to go about it. At least not with Robby. For some reason it was always more complicated when Robby was involved.]
I'll keep all that in mind, kid. I'll try not to let him down either. Can't promise that. But I'll try.
[ She feels like she can say that, because it's not like she's saying that for Robby, or in his place. She's saying it for herself, because it's nice to see that there at least fathers out there who want to try. ]
if there is ever anything i can do to help then let me know robby is very important to me i want him to be happy

But he's important to me too.
And I want him to know that.
But I'll keep you posted there, kid.
Just keep an eye out on him.
