HAHA
creative...
and what about your mom??

[corruptedsave]

Toriel? She's nice and smart, can bake and likes to read.

[prontissimo]

ah so youre smart like your mom

my dad was really smart too
he taught me all about human stuff

do you remember your human family...?

[corruptedsave]

I guess I am.

... and my human family isn't worth remembering.

[prontissimo]

got it.

my dads smart.
but not nice.

i miss him but i dont think id be happy if he showed up here... even tho i havent seen him for a long time.

[corruptedsave]

I know how that is, having a smart but not nice dad.

How long did he leave you alone for?

[prontissimo]

[ There's a slight delay before, for once, Alberto is totally honest. ]

like 2 years
then i left the island
but only becus of luca

[corruptedsave]

[There's a moment before Chara replies as well, because well...]

You're lucky, better to be left alone than to have their attention.

[prontissimo]

ha
maybe
dad used to say i ruined evertyhign
he said i was old enough to take careof myself
so...
thats what ive been doing ever since.

guess he was right haha

[corruptedsave]

Words are a lot better to deal with than the alternateive.

[This is a touchy subject for Chara, if their one misspelling is any sign.]

Hey at least it means you got to meet your Luca person.

[prontissimo]

ha. i know what you mean
when i moved in with massimo i was pretty sure he didnt even like me cus he never said ANYTHIGN
just
quiet
all the time...!
who does that?!?!
i guess massimo...!
it didnt mean he didnt like me tho
we figured it out
and he started talking eventually...!

but anyway youre right
i met luca in the sea, we MIGHT have met even if dad never left
but we would never have gone to the human town
dad taught me all about human stuff but he never did take me to portorosso
i only went once i met Luca

[corruptedsave]

Some people just aren't talkers.

And huh, why did you never go before you met Luca?

[prontissimo]

waiting for dad
so he'd know where to find me
in case he changed his mind and came back

[corruptedsave]

What a waste, you shouldn't have waited for someone like him.

Adults tend to not change their minds when they want to be horrible.

[prontissimo]

yeah... i knnow that now

but if i'd gone any sooner i WOULDNT have met Luca!!
it woulve been totally different!
what if my best friend was ERCOLE now?!? LOL
it all worked out ok!!

besides
dads not HORRIBLE
hes just... i dont know
hes just DAD.

[corruptedsave]

From what I can guess about this Ercole guy, I kind of doubt you would have been friends with them.

And I don't know, telling someone they ruin everything is kind of horrible to do.

[prontissimo]

i mean he had a cool vespa
but other than that ercole was a jerk yeah


anyway
i kinda DO ruin evertyhing
not always
just sometimes
dads better off without me tho
its ok
ive gotten over it
im better off without him too

[ Clearly over it... ]

[corruptedsave]

A cool scooter a friendship does not make.

...
Maybe, or maybe your dad was horrible. It's okay to admit that kind of stuff you know?

But yeah, you're better off without him.

[prontissimo]

my dads the only family i had chara
if i say hes horrible then thats it
theres no one else
just me
who wants to say they were raised by someone horrible? or waiting for someone horrible to come back? couldnt even impress someone horrible? thats embarrassing lol

dads just... who he is.
i can accept that
even if HE cant accept that im just who i am
so i learned even more from him than what he taught me

youknow what i mean?

[corruptedsave]

No, I don't know what you mean.

Sometimes real family isn't related by blood and sometimes you gotta just dump the ones you were unfortunately saddled with because of blood.

But maybe that's just me.

[prontissimo]

no its probably not just you
my dad would probably agree with you.

[corruptedsave]

That's probably the only thing we'd agree on then.

[prontissimo]

yeah probably.

i dont hate my dad tho
and i dont want to

i think thats more of a victory, sorta

if i hate him and let myself think hes horrible and all that...
then im still stuck on the islnad inside.
still thinking about him when he's probably not thinking about me as much
even if im not missing him. hating him would still just be wasting more time.

i wanna be better than him.
i wanna be free
i wanna win

[corruptedsave]

Then just do that, be better than him at everything.

[prontissimo]

i will be!!!!
and i mean at EVERYTHING

including a better dad!! even to sofia!
