One of my friends on tumblr equested that
he “get some help.” Happy to oblige.
He’s back home and healed. And currently overhearing a conversation behind closed doors between his father and uncle that was never meant for his ears.
See, they’re discussing the fact that since he obviously can’t succeed his father as head of the family or his father’s hereditary position, adopting the uncle’s second son for those purposes would give the family a very suitable replacement.
