no, i get it. it's sweet child of mine by guns n roses. i used to sing that to you all the time, you know. when you were scared of a thunderstorm or a nightmare, that song would calm you right down.

because you're my sweet child. no matter what.

what song is that again ? it sounds familiar .
apologies , it's been a while .

that is fair from your perspective . you do not share the same history as me and father , so you see him the same as everyone else .

. . . i wonder though . what makes them partake in such foolishness ? don't they know what awaits them here on our side ?
