I understand the principle, but the circumstance... isn't good. I never thought that's who she is, but... it's not my choice either. She is who she wants to be.

Kids grow up, but they never stop needing their parents' guidance. Ever. I cannot tell you how many times I've wanted to call my dad for advice. Or my mom—and I haven't seen her since I was nine.
I'm sure it's awkward, and you're probably navigating a lot with her. But she needs you. She needs you as much as she needs Silco. You helped shape a part of her.
