[Another brief pause, as he decides whether or not he wants to leave anything out. Maybe "favorite" isn't the right word, but - it's the most important one, and he knows he made a mistake not telling Joseph sooner. He doesn't want to make that mistake again.]
My father was a little like Joseph. He didn't want us to be involved in the family legacy. So he left when we were young and didn't say why. He was chasing the creatures responsible for creating the man who killed my grandfather. But we thought he'd just . . . left.
I met him again later, when I was an adult. I don't think he recognized who I was, but I recognized him, so I followed him. I wanted to [beat the shit out of him until he died] ask why he'd left. And then . . . there was a sculpture in the wall that I'd never seen before, and I reached out to touch it, and he pushed me away, and it absorbed him and killed him, just like that. It was what he'd been chasing all that time. And that's how I found out. He saved me, even though he didn't know me.
