'As much as you think I didn't, I've always been proud of what you've achieved… even when it looked like I didn't care.'
There was truth in the words he said to her. It may not have looked like it, but he had always been proud of what she had achieved.
He may not have shown it because of his circumstances, but he was proud. He had always been.
The feeling only grew stronger when he could feel himself again. He couldn't have been more pleased with her accomplishments, and the fact that she handled everything on her own made him even prouder.
He was glad she was doing well.
Well… for the most part.
He knew that he couldn't go back in time and undo the harm that his neglect had caused her.
When he thought about her past and how his actions had harmed her, he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt wash over him. She had been through a lot in her life.
