... he's not here to answer for it. (he shouldn't have said that, and he knows it. it's not fair to any of them, for a stabbing reminder of their father being gone forever. apollo's thoughts regarding this are far too conflicted, the talk he wanted to clear the air, repair their relationship never happened, leaving apollo with nothing but bitterness and the unending feeling of being alone and forgotten by his father.
even if it was ultimately for his own good, the fact of it was no one asked him. he was just sent away with a hollow promise of returning home, and that was it. that was his goodbye to dhurke, fourteen years ago, never a letter or call or an offer to visit, nothing. dhurke had successfully cut ties with him and left him in the care of strangers.
and there's one point apollo just can't let go of, there's one thing he always has to question above all else. a fist clenches, the bitterness in his heart seeping into his expression.) So I was sent away because it was too dangerous for a child to be around Dhurke with how things were. That's what you're sticking to?
