Da parents are always dead.

Or they die.

Or they are sick.

Or poor.

I bet at the studio it was like this:

IT'S TOO INNOCENT BRING SOME TRAGIC IN HERE

BUT SIR THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALREADY WEAK AND FOR EVER ALONE

THEN KILL HIS PARENTS

BUT SIR?!

JUST DO IT. Now back to mah game...

But why. Why?
I mean, you could've let at least a little bit of happiness there but - NOPE.

TRAGEDY.
