So I'm Laguna.

Laguna had an incredibly normal childhood, if you could describe it in such a way. His parents remained married and, in most cases, supportive. Mrs. Loire, much younger than her husband, was a typical housewife; she tended to the garden, the chores, the cooking, and was a doting mother. For much of Laguna’s younger years, his father was away in the military (a fact that evidently influences his later life), but he eventually retired and took up his hobby of cars and became a mechanic.

Living in Galbadia, despite the coming-and-going of tourists and the endless honking horns of traffic, was ideal for the growing gunner. His elementary, middle, and high school were top-tier and he attracted many friends with his clumsy charisma. Though he didn’t get the highest grades, young Laguna Loire obtained a satisfactory education and a satisfying childhood full of wonder, miniature adventures, and laughter.

When he had time, the young lad would often either scurry around the city with friends or tinker in his room with toys—he usually ended up losing or breaking them, though.

Yes, the man had stayed true to his heart and self through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
