People are always to judge whatever they don't understand as some unnatural bullcrap.
[You get up from something that should've turned all your bones to saw dust, and people get all 'what kinda monster are you?!' on you. Like they've never seen a martial artist take a bad hit before!]
... Sorry man. Didn't know that. [In some cases, he's lucky. A lot of people in his life have lost their family from natural causes or diseases. Meanwhile, his family's alive and well. He doesn't know the feeling of losing someone important to him, besides the one time when he thought...]
Lucky... Not them dying, that's horrible, just being able to hear stories about the folks you lost. Pop never told me anything about mom. He wanted to cut her out of my training so I wouldn't be 'soft' or want to go back home to her. [That, and he wanted to keep himself alive because the only reason why mom let him take their son was cause of the whole man among men pledge that failure spelled the Saotome family's seppuku.] She's alive, and she's back in my life, but... complications [A bitter note was in his tone.] got in the way of me being able to get near her, so she's nothing more than a stranger to me.
CW: Small mention of seppuku/suicide
