Just fixing the spelling and grammar. Kinda proves the point I made in that post (and I'm doing it again. urgh.). I write something and then 10 minutes later I realise I missed something, typed something that doesn't sound right, used duplicate words, or there's a grave spelling or grammar error. Yeah, 11 years of special needs teaching didn't help that much. How I got through Uni I'll never know.Atario wrote:This is my favorite part of that comment. ?Rhodri wrote:Last edited by Rhodri on Tue Sep 02, 2014 3:06 pm, edited 3 times in total.
Anyway, some mean head canon.
If things play out in a certain way, Hisao makes it to his 70s only to be diagnosed with dementia. Sick and cruel I know, but you gotta write what you know. My Nanna battled it for 9 years before passing away. When she died, I had just started working for the NHS and for the last 7 years, I've often worked round patients that suffer from various forms of dementia, so I know what this terrible disease does to people, some of which is real heart breaking. What triggered this in my head was seeing this picture. The old hand grasping at the faded pictures made me wonder what significance lies behind it. When I remembered that showing some dementia suffers pictures of their younger years helps jog their memory. In that moment, an image popped into my head. It was Hisao sitting all alone and confused in a nursing home on his birthday before one of the girls from Yamaku arrives with a collection of pictures to help clear his head, and what is more significant to Hisao than photos of the people that picked him up in his darkest moment and help him piece his life back together?
