You know, all fathers love their sons, but... sometimes fathers feel despair, like everyone else. And they say things they only think they mean in the moment. But with time, they learn they never really meant it at all. And they may even call you ugly things like a burden or a coward, but inside... they love you.

And you will do as I command, until your wooden body rots and I use you to warm my furnace! You may have no strings, but I control you. You obey ME! Capisce?

By the time master Geppetto made Pinocchio, he had already lost a son. Now this was quite a few years before my time, but I learnt the story. And then it became my story.

Geppetto lost Carlo during the Great War. They'd been together only ten years. But it was as if Carlo had taken the old man's life with him.
