There were many things that I had come to resent in the past 8 years, my parents were the first things, objects, people that I had ever resented in my life. and I still do not only resent them, I loath, no hate them.
They had never once thought to ask why I wouldn't eat pork anymore, or even why, when I had been so terrified of the tunnel, I developed a strange (to others not me) obsession with the thing that supposedly frightened me most.
Haku, I wasn't really sure how to describe my emotions for the river god I know I love him, but waiting for someone to keep a promise after 8 years was unheard of! I wasnt very hopeful anymore, but still, I waited.
