[Valentino wasn't a half bad dad, but he had grown up with a half bad childhood himself despite having yet to tell Vincent about it]
[He didn't think it was important since it happened in his past]
[But there were signs, signs that seemed to be a bit more than cultural difference]
[Like today, Zen had been running around and playing inside, before she ran into a shelf and broke a vase by accident]
[Of course, still being a young girl, she denied breaking it and that's when Vincent saw Val take out a belt to Zen for the first time]
{Val wound the end of the belt around his wrist, getting ready to whoop her with it}.
Vincent gasped running to the little one as he was quick to stand in front of her.
" there is no way in hell your going to do that to her-!? She's only three-?! Val.. ya can't do that to kids..?! " he explains expressing concern while zen clings to Vincent's pant leg..
" I'm sorry..-?! It was an accident..?-! " poor girl was scared and confused..
