Jin-kun, you need to stop depending on Takaya. Honestly it was adorable when you were a child but now...
... you will never have anything to offer him if all that you value lies within him, and not your own self. Chart your own path, earn his respect by adhering to your decisions, even if they conflict with his - only then will your presence in their lives be something more than parasitical.
You're not. While I am pleased that you managed to find happiness during the past decade... it has softened you Jin. Led you astray, made you dependent on others.
From now on, you walk at my side - not upon my back or carried in my arms. You shall walk at my side Jin, and when we have sculpted reality to our wishes, as all True Humans must..
... Then you will be ready. And you will have not only Takaya's love, but his respect.

It's giving it up that's the hard part... I just don't know how I'll face him...

But respect? A father can love the toddler he dandles on his knee... but respect? Never.
Not until the toddler becomes an adult, the boy becomes a man, and sets out on his own to put his stamp upon the face of the world.
Love is a gift my friend... it need not be earned. Unlike respect.
But when you face him next, I assure you Jin... you will be a man, and not a child.

What you're saying makes sense, but I just don't know if I'm ready yet...
