No. I didn't.

One day, my parents stopped coming for me. Maybe they left me after I kept trying to reject Sylvian's healing gift, maybe they got... lost in communion, as that is possible. So, at thirteen, I tried to figure out how to defend myself. How to survive the alleyways and gutters of Rondon.

[Daan holds out his hand, and runes appear around him, mixed with the sound of a woman's gasp faint in the air. The nice thing at least is that, this time, is that he merely feels love. Love the way his friends make him feel. Tsuruno, Heine, Miu, and many others.

The way Vergilius makes him feel.]

You achieve certain things by having an... affinity with a god. With Sylvian, well. There are a few ways. ...But one method just happens to be the easiest.

Few things in my life have been my choice, Kaveh. Certainly not my connection to Sylvian. So I don't relish relying upon her power when I need to repair myself, but sometimes it's necessary. Don't get the wrong idea; the limb removal is a different god entirely. Sylvian repairs, to her credit.

Which is all I'll give her.
