A/N: It was time to wrap this story up, so this is the final chapter. Thanks so much for the love.

KAORU

My unsure son Kaoru,
your force field's unfurled;
I'm glad Daddy found you
and your porcelain little world.

You're two, but you're you.
You lie, but you're honest.
You avoid what's abrasive;
but your essence is conflict.

Your world, like fine china,
sounds sweet to my ears
as it shatters catastrophically;
your slate swiftly clears.

I pray you'll permit
your old world to break
and embrace this new world
for both his and your sake.
