Once her hand was freed, Kaneko gathered the dishes, leaving his glass on the table since it still had wine inside. She picked them up carefully and took them to the sink to wash them. She could understand what he was saying, he was right. Her entire life she was neglected. As a small child she had both a mother and a father, a few years later her mother walked out after many nights of arguments with her father. While they thought she had been sleeping, she was actually awake, leaning against her door listening.

Her father never stopped his work; whatever it was. Kaneko continued to be neglected but it was her life and she assumed it was supposed to be that way. But clearly it wasn't. "He is. Always so busy doing who knows what." When Allen asked her if she had talked to her father, she smiled. "There have been times, years ago where I tried. He just told me if he stopped working, then we'd have nothing. Said that I need to understand that all he's doing is to make sure I have everything I need." She answered quietly while lathering the dishes in soap.

"I don't understand though. All other fathers have regular jobs and are home a lot earlier then he is and they still have time for their families. You know, sometimes I call him and he doesn't answer. I guess I should just be happy he comes home at all. But...I often wonder why my mother...well...it doesn't matter." Kaneko's voice had gotten softer towards the end there. What was her father doing that was so bad her own mother left them?
