Been a while since I asked a vague personal question on the network! Probably because I lost network access for a while there, but still. I'm overdue.

So, quick summary, past me was Bad and I do not want to be like him. He also was older than me at the end of his life, and he had kids. He was not a great dad. Not like an abusive parent or anything, and I think he loved them as much as he was capable, but that's not very much.

What does it say that I'm thinking more lately about whether I want kids someday? Now that I have this example of 'me' messing it up?

I can see why you'd be worried, Mr. Tsushima. But I don't know, I can't see you not caring about the people in your life. And you always talk about Mr. Dazai like he's a whole other person.

[Guess they still get reception in another world.]

I don't think you'd be the first to use your past life as a cautionary tale. I certainly do with mine.

But speaking as someone who had a terrible father in his past life, the fact you're at all concerned you might mess up is a good thing.
