Shanks really didn't want to touch the subject more than he had to. Though his amnesia came and went, it was hard for him to completely forget about the abuse growing up.

"He was a mean old bastard", Shanks said. "Military man who fought in campaigns all over the world. You easily got the impression that he really didn't want kids.

"Order and discipline", he ended.

This wasn't the way he wanted his date to be. He wanted to whisper sweet and naughty things in Kayleigh's ears, and get happily drunk with her, instead of moping about yet another shitty childhood he assumed the rest of these misfits had.
