"My parents?" This was not the first time he had not wondered about his parents, but since he never even met his parents in this life and the previous life as well, he thought that he was destined to be an orphan in the end.
Of course, he at least wanted to know who his real parents were and why they left him. But he believed that he had very few chances of finding it out since whoever his parents were, they probably didn't want to see him anymore.
Even if he felt that the reason was a different one, he was afraid of the possible disappointment and sadness that could come from meeting his parents.
So even though sometimes he badly wanted to meet his parents, at other times he felt that not meeting them was better.
