[look at this finely dressed deer in the headlights. this is the face of a man who's clearly trying hard at something. and while he's still new to much of the technology here, that isn't the problem. (even if the typo in his own name might suggest otherwise.)

he looks like he might turn this off after all, and maybe he's regretting that he didn't go with the texted word, but then he takes a breath and pushes forward.]

I would like to address those out there who are fathers. Or anyone who might have experience with raising a child. Sons, especially.

[a long pause...a man with as much pride as jin zixuan surely finds it hard to ask for help. but he reminds himself of his sole reason, and suddenly it all rushes out.]

How does one...form bonds with them? What activities do they enjoy? What should you talk about? Do you try to be their friend?

How do you inquire about their [his expression twists.] chroma?

Any advice would be appreciated.

[please make him father of the year, it would mean so much.]

[protect him with everything you have finally something he knows he could do without struggling.]

I'm hearing similar advice from many. I think I'm starting to understand it.

[hopefully.]

I can understand that as well. I wouldn't have chosen to have him exposed to this world.

[even if it meant never having the chance to actually meet him.]

Parenthood certainly is no easy thing, and it is worth taking your son’s individual circumstances into account, of course, but it is certainly doable.

There are things I like about this world, but yes. I absolutely would not want my daughter anywhere near any of this.

You must miss her a great deal. How long have you been here?

[baitless]

...it has been quite difficult, yes. I have been here several months, and I have some solace in the fact that I am sure she is safe at home, but... that does not make it that much easier to deal with.

[amidstsnow]

I hope that you are reunited with her soon. I doubt that your reunion with her will be as clumsy as mine was.

[he seems to know what he's talking about, after all.]

Ah, well, no one is entirely together all the time, are they? Even if there are some awkward elements to your meeting, what's important are your feelings.
