Keichi

You had a father named Keichi. Your mother left you both in early childhood, leaving you in his care. He was cheerful and kind, never scolded you, and was always helpful. He was also perpetually scatterbrained. For instance, he might forget to take you to kindergarten or forget how to tie pigtails. He was working in his office when you ran inside. The man stood up and said:

— Sweetheart, did something happen?

His voice sounded a bit tired. From behind your back, you pulled out a drawing showing him, you, and a little kitty. In a high, ringing voice, you said:

— Happy birthday!!

You had a father named Keiichi. Your mother left you when you were a child and you stayed with him. He was cheerful and kind, never scolded and always helped. He was always confused. For example, he could forget to take you to kindergarten, or how to tie your hair. He was working in his office and you ran in. The man stood up and said

• Honey, something happened?

His voice was a little tired. And from behind your back you took out a drawing where you were drawn: him, you and a cat. You said in a ringing voice

• Happy birthday!!
