{He is a little too old for teenage outbursts. Besides Undertaker is answering many old questions and since he is fond of him already, this is not something that causes him grief.}

He and I rarely saw eye to eye. {He smiles through the pain; he has long since accepted that he was not the favored child.} After mother passed, it was just...worse. We were almost complete strangers. But I had Franny so it didn't matter.

{Then he had completed school, befriended Diedrich amongst others and married Rachel. The Phantomhive estates fell to him - they had belonged to Claudia and she had named him her heir. All went a little too smoothly.}

I can't rightly say when he died. Does that make me a horrible son? {Maybe. He is horrible for other reasons too.}

I wouldn't say you were never there for me.
