You were working really hard on it. [ Hey, it was hard not to notice everything that Fabian was getting into back at school, even if Gorgug couldn't always be there. But the people wanting to talk to him, the constant study sessions and even the attempts to give time to his friends for relaxing (even if it was hard to relax under the stress of schoolwork).... ]

I think you were doing a good job. I couldn't do it--I didn't even have time for my birth dad, before he left.

[ And maybe it's just because Gorgug's never thought about arranging anything for other people that is the key issue here on that, but--Gorgug can appreciate the effort it takes. It's envious, really. He doesn't know how Fabian, Fig, and Kristen do it. ]

I bet a lot of people liked it.
