Thank you, and you're welcome. You're not the first to say that anything having to do with Gaiden is bittersweet because of what happens to them eventually, and you have company regarding the last sentence as well.
Although being a guardian is something one volunteers for (though it's more like Kanzeon volunteered Konzen at first), I guess my legal background makes me see it as a more remote connection than a biological one would be. Oftentimes guardians, especially in novels, are guardians in name only, especially if they're relatives who have 'inherited' children after their parents' death.
