Daisuke Yamada's Links
Daisuke wonders if Delano can ever forgive him. He misses him lots and wants to make up for his mistakes.
Delano doesn't blame Daisuke for what happened to him and their relationship. Delano misses him and wants to meet again.
Daisuke thinks of Stella as the family's canary in the coal mine. When Stella's optimistic attitude falls, it's clear that things are dire.
Stella couldn't have hoped for better parents than Daisuke and Luciana. She's endlessly grateful for them for adopting both her and Sara.
Daisuke is very proud of Martina, her cooking skills and her restaurant. Working in the restaurant is giving him something to do in his retirement days.
Martina thinks that Daisuke shouldn't have to work, but she hasn't been able to talk him out of it yet. She's at least managed to talk him into taking pay for his work.
Luciana was the love of Daisuke's life. He still loves her and he's still not gotten over her death. He's a little better now, however.
Daisuke is very proud of Benjamin for going to med school.
Benjamin completely understands Daisuke's depressive episode and doesn't blame him for it. Now that Benjamin knows that depression is something that is possible for his family, he makes sure that he monitors his family members' mental states so he can catch any other possible depressive episodes before they get as bad.
While Daisuke doesn't really understand the whole goth thing, he's glad that Sara is happy.
Sara is endlessly grateful and glad that Daisuke and Luciana adopted Sara with Stella. She had been scared that people wouldn't want to adopt her because she isn't as outgoing as Stella and trans, but the Yamadas proved her wrong.
Daisuke appreciates how smart Antonio is. His help has been invaluable during tax season.
Antonio somewhat remembers being adopted, but he doesn't mind it. Daisuke and Luciana are the best parents he could have hoped for.
Daisuke is incredibly grateful for Florencia and Valeria for helping out keeping his life together after Luciana's death.
Ever since Florencia saw how happy Daisuke made Luciana, she has thought of Daisuke as her brother. He's family to her, and family helps out when tragedies happen.
Daisuke is happy that Benjamin and Imani are still together and happy. He adores her as much as Benjamin does.
Imani has been with the Yamadas through thick and thin. They are family to her, they've been her family even before she married Benjamin.
Daisuke has to admire how perfect for Antonio Hi'ilani is.
While the rest of the Yamada family might have caught Hi'ilani off-guard, she's relieved how calm Daisuke is.
Like with Florencia, Daisuke is grateful that Valeria helped him and his family after Luciana's death.
Valeria didn't even hesitate thinking of Daisuke as her brother. He married Luciana, so he's family.
Daisuke wonders what they could have been if they had met earlier in their lives. Either way, Jun-Seo gave Daisuke some feelings and thoughts he thought he'd ever have in his life. Sadly, ultimately, Daisuke finds that he is still straight and still in love with Luciana.
While Jun-Seo is somewhat fond of Daisuke, he isn't terribly heartbroken about Daisuke deciding that he's straight. After all, Daisuke *did* encourage Jun-Seo to contact his old ex...
"How do I have so many goths in my extended family?"
"Oh, that's Imani's father-in-law."
Daisuke is grateful for Emmi and Isla both for helping him at his weakest moment.
It wasn't even a question for Emmi. Of course she takes care of her children!
Daisuke is grateful for Emmi and Isla both for helping him at his weakest moment.
It wasn't even a question for Isla. Since Daisuke married one of her daughters, he was pretty much her son also.
Daisuke is thankful for Fumiko for also stepping in to help him.
Daisuke's kids are Fumiko's kids. She decided that ages ago when she came to the conclusion that she didn't want kids of her own.
