If you want to share it around be my guest.

I actually thought it might be Hikaru's dad at first since he's into space and up until recently the show seemed like it was being purposefully vague regarding him. But after actually meeting the man and discovering that he's basically just a male version of his daughter who loves his family quite a bit despite only seeing them once a year I realized that Madoka's father fit the bill a little better. Sure, it's kind of a repeat of HeartCatch but I think it could possibly work.

I also initially thought that it was going to turn out that Hikaru was half alien and the reason her dad couldn't visit that often was because someone discovered him (the rules of space travel in this series seem to be that if someone discovers you're an alien then you are legally demanded to leave the planet immediately, though that particular rule only seems to apply to Earth for some reason).
