Father and Mother had already knew that their three improved children love drawing and writing their stories (like Father does), so they slowly introduced them to some of his works in his personal library. Initially, Father permitted the children to borrow a few drawings and books of his (which they shared), and this has caused them to pester him into teaching them more.

TOTA - Part Six - His Future (ARC 2: The Past)
Refusing to give up on understanding their father, they obeyed, and concentrated more on their studies, as father instructed them to. Although they could have improved from their education, they instead made themselves more miserable, hoping that their parents will understand their plight.
But at last, the children themselves gave up, and returned to their old ways. Will their father be so much of an expecting robot to punish them? Or will he himself think again?

TOTA - Part Six - His Future (ARC 1: The Present)
'There once lived a father, who was so strict, that he prohibited his children from many things.' We've heard of that story before, many times over. But how did he end up this way?
His children, three boys and one girl, are unhappy with his style of parenting so badly, they even feared returning home from school. They are now fed up with his constant dictating of almost every decision, however small, of their lives; his over-emphasis on education; and and his 'seizure' of their entertainment (from banning television to donating all of their toys to charity upon reaching their respective ninth birthdays). They are upset that the only people they are allowed to interact with outside their family are usually the more cultured, well-educated 'snobs' (who, nonetheless, understand them more caringly than their parents do). Worst of all, they are absolutely barred from even drawing or writing their own stories (unless if it is a school assignment), which instead starts to motivate them to wonder why (aside from turning them into workplace robots like him), and how, did their dad become the sad, tormenting (and tormented) father he is today.
