My dad was the kind of man who just wanted his sons to be happy. I know this because even though he was an expert at hand-to-hand combat and encouraged Pavel and myself to be the same... to protect ourselves, he never forced me to be something I'm not. I was always interested in solving problems and puzzles with my mind. My brother took a liking to perfecting his fighting skills, and yet even though I was different, my dad genuinely loved both Pavel and I equally.
