My Love.
When Ranma saw his daughter again, he hugged her tightly, in a way that would have actually hurt her before her Ala Alba training, and wept on her for several moments.
It was the first time Haruna had ever seen Dad crying. He hadn't cried, at least not before anyone else, when Granny Nodoka died, although she once saw him coming out of a room with redenned eyes.
Haruna asked him, "Why?"
He had taken the briefest of moments to check out there was nobody else close enough, and put his hands on her shoulders. "You know how your grandfather is. And your mother. And your aunts. And even your grandmother, well... she would let me go for years, she would put an oath over me, under the right circumstances. I know a lot of people have loved me, in their own ways."
"But when you were born, and I first held you in my arms, I realized that you were the first person who would ever love me with no conditions. Who would forgive me no matter what I ever could do. Just because of who I was, not because of what I did, or because of what I was supposed to be for their standards."
"I knew it, as soon as you looked into my eyes."
Haruna blinked, and then broke bawling onto his chest like a child.
