this is the story that can happen in every place in the world, a single father, addicted to gambling, and neglected child. The father is a scum but he feels guilty about his son anyway (when he sees his kid getting all happy and he only wanted to get rid of the dinner problem, not to be a good father and go to the festival) - and that is the father's wound. And the child, although being beaten and abandoned, still loves his father, and even a shitty sign of interest can make the child happy. The wounds of the kid are physical for now, but the mental wound the kid gets will never be healed. I apologize for my English...
That cuts deep
