[Sano's eyes shine with pride, when he sees Sousuke rip apart the paper.]
If he comes here, we can have a shouting match. It's been a while since I yelled myself out, and your dad seems like a worthy opponent.
[To say that Sano is enjoying himself is something of an understatement. Maybe because he know hard times are ahead, he needs to keep up his good mood somehow. But there's something he wanted to talk to Sousuke about.]
It's strange, ain't it? Sometimes parents try to push their kids into one direction, and only end up pushing them away from it. Me Ma wanted me to become an auror as well. I didn't exactly hate the idea and was entertaining the idea even, for a while, but I just wanted to be too much like me Dad, who was an athlete, to really consider it. She wasn't happy about it, but she didn't really mind at first. But then Dad left and with each passing year she insisted more and more, until I completely hated the idea and failed my exams on purpose, just not to be able to become one.
Recently I started wondering, if that was the right choice. Being an auror is a good job, protecting people, keeping the community safe... I believe I would have enjoyed it, if I had become one. Don't misunderstand I loved playing, and I love teaching, and I don't regret anything. It's just that I let my choices be influenced by my stubbornness and hot head, and now I wonder, if I chose something I wanted more, or chose something that would just spite me Ma.
I'm not telling you to reconsider, I just want you to be sure, that this is what you truly wish for, not just something you're stubborn about.
[He knows Sousuke is serious about quidditch, he can tell by the way the kid plays, or how he clings to every straw of hope to be able to play it in the future. But he doesn't want Sousuke to wake up one day, asking himself the same questions, as Sano asks himself. He'd rather Sousuke makes his choice untainted with anger, stubbornness and hurt.]
