The big man upstairs being Dear Ol' Dad never counted for anything. Why should this?
[He's long ago accepted the fact that neither of his parents ever really loved him in any way that mattered. Mom had been lovely in the beginning, but that hadn't lasted, and even if he'd been the favorite at one point in time, or so he'd been led to believe, it hadn't mattered in the end, either.
He twists his neck slightly, as if the collar of his shirt is suddenly too tight. The idea that they could fight his Mother seems preposterous. Although...]
I may not even realize She's coming right away. She's a celestial being, so She'd have to find some human body to take over if She were going to walk the Earth. [He sighs, agitated but somewhat placated by Chloe's gentle touch.] I suppose it doesn't matter much while we're here, however.
[It's the first time he hasn't wanted to go home, if all this is what's awaiting him there, awaiting both of them.]
