The years between the ages of 6 and 14 were the happiest of his life, and it does hurt a little to know that it'll never be the same.
But Tenka...Tenka had known his parents even longer, of course--they were Tenka's family, first and foremost.
So quietly, he listens, even if it really does hurt as well, and... he sighs.]
... You've done what you could. [Of course he couldn't be both his mother and his father to his siblings--that would be ridiculous. A pause, and then--]
Tenka, your siblings would not choose to give up their older sibling's love in favor of that of two parents.
[Even Soramaru, who remembers them a little--it would be best if they could have both, but tragically, they can't. So instead... they have what they have, and Sousei knows they would never ask for anything different.]
