Well, not enough is known about her father to draw that sort of conclusion. All that we really know is that he is a very distant man, very high up in the
political chain (probably a party-leader in the Diet), takes her out for her birthdays, and tends to give her white dresses and lillies. Oh yes, and that Rei
either hates his guts or has an ambivilant love-hate thing going on for him.
Really, we could go any direction with this.
There's only so much that he'd be able to do without making himself look like a jackass. Japanese society may still be a man's country, but
treating one's daughter badly still doesn't bode too well. (Of course, letting your father/father-in-law take care of the girl while you persue a
political career isn't really seen as a bad thing - he's an awfully busy man, you know.)
The most he could do, really, is disown her if she insists on dating Zeke. Big loss there.
Of course, he may have ties with the Yakuza - not entirely uncommon in Japan. If he were to call in a favor to have Zeke taken care of, it would be fun to have
the thing blow up in his face. It would look especially bad since Zeke is the son of a high-ranking US Navy officer - some people may not like the USN being
there, but even they cannot deny the massive boon they are to the economy. The backlash from something like that would be severe in the extreme.
I think I can have fun with this. ^_^
