Ripple

The day after the events of "Twist", Ryouma tries to sort out his thoughts. Drama With Slight Romance, I-3

Ryouma snorted a laugh. If he ever admitted to Momo that his protective streak made Ryouma feel better, he'd be doomed. Probably for life. Momo would never again believe Ryouma was serious when he grumbled or swatted Momo away.

To qualify this: I don't think they're intentionally damaging to their children, and those who take into account how much their children love a certain thing/how much their children really want to work at a certain thing are excellent at fostering their children's talent. Nanjiroh isn't making Ryoma do something Ryoma's not interested in. The problem, for me, is setting himself up as Ryoma's opponent/supporter. Not that it's an utenable position, especially with Ryoma, but I don't think it's an approrpiate position for a parent.
