To mothers and fathers, the accomplishments and sins they made that bring us to today.

[solid_courage]

Selflessness and selfishness. Those sorts of parental acts retain a link to the past and build a bridge to the future through children.

[bloodyheartland]

But the hold onto the past must never be too dominant.

It has a tendency to eat the present.

Like Chronus, devouring his children.

[solid_courage]

We still have the responsibility and ability to leave what traces we can, though.

Sons bear the sins of the father. Funny how that works.

I have better things to do, unless they need security. I'm not much of a party kind of guy anyway.

Ivalice is the name of the continent there, but I hail from the former Republic of Landis that once stood...

No one told you to read it.

[biggubosu]

That's a holiday?

Hmm.

[solid_courage]

You didn't know?

[biggubosu]

I didn't realize it was a national holiday until everyone started announcing it here.

Hm. Sounds pretty pointless to me.

[solid_courage]

It is. Along with Mother's Day and Halloween, it's just another field day for Hallmark.
