Facing his daughter, the Old Man felt guilt-ridden, with self-reproach deeper than when he had returned home.
He didn't know how to compensate but wanted to give her everything he could. He had decided to leave all of the Davis Family property to Aya.
Over the years, he was blind to the truth. Though it was Fristy Davis who deceived him, it was also his own issue because losing Aya was so heartbreaking he dared not think about it much. He felt that Fristy's existence somewhat alleviated his longing for his daughter, so even knowing her character was problematic, he let it happen without question.
Now, no matter how much regret he felt, he couldn't retrieve the time lost over those years.
He wasn't a good father; when Aya needed his protection the most, he wasn't there.
The Old Man just hoped that he could still be a good Grandfather.
