I’m finally getting used to these prosthetics.

It’s been ages, and for a while I could barely move, so Ron had to do all of the fighting himself, but once I started getting accustomed to how they moved, it felt like they’d been a part of my body since as long as I could remember. I became stronger, faster, incorporating the prosthetics into my movements and using them in battle. Sure does make wielding my God Arc a hell of a lot easier.

Come to think of it… even after almost ten years, I still haven’t felt any side-effects of using a God Arc without a bracelet. Ron says there’s no way that should be possible, that I should have succumbed to Aragami transformation almost immediately, within a few days or weeks after taking up that God Arc… but I guess I’m special, or maybe my dad was the special one.

I don’t know what it is, but it feels like my Father is there, looking out for me, every time I pick up my God Arc. Like there’s a part of him that he left with me, and that it keeps watch over me… yeah, sounds silly, I know. Ridiculous, even. I can’t explain it myself, but it feels… kind of warm?

Father, if you’re there… thanks. I guess that’s the best way to say it… thanks for being there for me, and for mom.

For what it’s worth.
