[Her parents really have the weirdest origin story and what makes it even stranger is that they're both completely proud of it.
She gives herself time to think about what he's saying, though, which might lead to a little period of silence. It stings a little to know that he's saying a lot of what her father had, which probably means that he was right. She's already made those mistakes, she looked at Yamato, Audrey, and her father that way. But maybe she has to spread out a little more. And stop trying to be exactly like her mother or father, meekness doesn't suit her, but overbearing aggression isn't her thing either. Existing in the middle is weird, but it's probably what she has to parse out with time.

[Because he'll probably send her a thousand texts in the span of the first two weeks. Maybe he'd calm down once the worst of it passed but until then? She had trouble believing he'd just lie down and accept. Even if he certainly did that with nearly every other fucking topic.]
