Lilia: Never thought the moment my children would grow up. First was Malleus, then Silver..and now my 3rd child. Going off to college. Where did the days go?
Lilia: *was walking in the hallway and stopped to see Mc packing things up for college* Hmmm...
Mc: Right, that's just about it. All I need is to go over to the store to get some household items and I'll be set. *sighs and noticed a teddy bear dropped onto the neatly folded clothes in the suit case*
Mc: I'm not taking my teddy bear to college dad...
Lilia: Sure you are.
Mc: No dad.
Lilia: What are you talking about?
Mc: I'm not taking him.
Lilia: But you loved your teddy bear.
Mc: Back when I was a kid dad!
Lilia: Just take him, you never know what situation you'll be in. *hands it back to Mc*
Mc: *gets irritated* What might that be?
Lilia: What if you're having an anxiety attack and you have nothing to cuddle up against?
Mc: That's why there's a thing called "medication" dad.
Lilia: *holds the teddy bear closer to Mc* And what if your "medication" don't work? Hm? Or maybe you're just lonely.
Mc: Will you stop with the stupid questions?? I'm a grown adult! I don't need a stuffed animal to "cuddle" up against when I'm so called "lonely"! I can make friends and that's final! *grabs it and throws it across the room*
Lilia: ....
Mc: Ha.... *looks over to see Lilia getting teary eyed* Dad....I'm sorry...
Lilia: No, you're right. I guess I was being silly....
Mc: Dad.... *goes up behind him and hugs*
Lilia: *shakes Mc off from their hug* You're right. You're an adult. You don't need a stuffed animal to keep your anxiety and loneliness together. You'll be out there making friends and taking medication. It's that time where adults don't need their parents anymore. They're ready to leave the nest and fly off. *goes to walk out of the room*
Mc: Daddy.....
Lilia: I'm sorry for asking stupid questions....
Mc: Daddy....please I am sorry.
Lilia: I'll...leave you alone...I'll let you continue to pack up... *he goes and walks away*
Mc: Daddy....! Daddy....!!! ....I'm sorry....Damn it..! Why did I suddenly acted like a jerk to my own father? A father that raised me since the day I was born and here I am pushing him away like he means nothing to me. *tears up* Damn it...! Maybe I should talk to him....
~Back in the Lilia's bedroom~
Lilia: *is crying into his pillow* I'm sorry for being annoying...
Mc: Daddy...?
Lilia: *he goes under the blankets* Go away....
Mc: Dad...I know you're mad at me.
Lilia: I'm not mad....I just need some space. Actually I need to give you space. Since I'm always on your ass. You should enjoy this now. I'm giving you lots of space. I won't tell you what to do, I won't embarrass you. Hell, I won't act playful around you. You're an adult, you want to do adult things, you can. I'm giving you permission to be an adult. I'm sorry if I made your life a living hell.
