...yeah. I feel like something like that happened.

Something like "if only I could run as fast as Mom, I could be popular."

But his mom is an umamusume while he's just a normal human, so he got into a rut because of that.

...ah— I see.

I do feel a little bad for him, though...

...I can hear you, you know. Somehow I suddenly feel like talking with my father for the first time in a while...

But, one day I think he decided,

"I'm going to focus on stuff that I can do!"

He had this look like he'd worked things out.

Well,

Well, there's not much that can be done about that.

She's that worried about him? fufu What a precious wife she is!

Was he troubled about anything when he was a kid?

Even though he said he got over it,

when I ask about it, all he ever says is "I don't remember."
