It's for Father

Litouten is everything to Nataku. Nataku can't imagine a world without his father there. Father loves him, Father cares for him, Father is god and emperor and ruler and kindness and a chain around his heart.

Sometimes he feels that he's suffocating, that Father's love weighs on his shoulders like a robe of solid gold, and it takes everything he has not to go down on one knee and ask for a single moment's respite. He gives it freely. It's for Father.

Nataku looks at the world through golden eyes. He sees Father. Father sees him. There isn't anything else.
