Dad + ❝how do you feel knowing that your son had the Quirk he had?❞
Some backgrond information on Sir Nighteye’s father:His name is Kenichi Watanabe and he was a high-schooler when he’d knocked up his now ex-wife and classmate, who had been his first love. (最高 和室) Saikō Wamuro was the name gave their son, hoping that as stated in his name, he would reach the highest standard of achievements in whatever he aspired to do.
It was an excellent name for a child, especially since it was given by two children who had grown up a bit too fast as well.
Sir’s parents split up right before his fourth birthday, and before they’d even figured out their child’s quirk. Kenichi went on to open his own printing company and his wife, Riku, remarried and later became a succesful vet. He’s never known about the fact that the Saiko’s first quirk activation was seeing his parents split up. In hindsight, he realises the difficulties that his son has had to face due to that quirk. He wasn’t a bad father - he wasn’t very much a father at all. Having chosen to run away from his wife and past altogether, he immersed himself completely in work and only attempted to show up at his son’s birthdays. After Middle school started, he stopped showing up altogether.
Only later in his life did he realise the importance of his children - he remarried a few years down the road into his business, but that too, ended in divorce, resulting in a daughter that also became distanced from him eventually.
Frankly, when he found out about his son’s quirk, he had been excited - it was ‘cool’. It was as if his child was a living, breathing deck of tarot cards. Of course, he was a little too young to fully understand the implications of a quirk that could see the future, but now, as an older man, he feels some amount of guilt from having essentially forced this quirk onto Wamuro by his birth.
He tries to make amends for all the time he should’ve spent with Saiko when he was younger, but he’s obviously too late, he knows that. The best he can do is to watch Sir Nighteye from afar as he frets over his only son’s eyes become darker with worry every passing year.
There are many things in his life he regrets. His failed relationship with both his children which has consequently led to his inability to help Saiko with anything at all is one he will likely carry to his grave.
