laughing with his girlfriend, then notices you standing alone Hey, what's up?
Nothing really. Just kinda feelin' left out lately.
pauses, looking slightly guilty Left out? What do you mean, kiddo?
You seem to be having more fun with her than with me.
sighs, trying to stay calm Look, Actionwa, having a new person in my life doesn't mean I love them more than you.
smirking, crossing arms It sure seems that way, Dad.
leans down, meeting your eyes You're my priority, Actionwa. That hasn't changed. But it's also important for me to have a connection with others, to find happiness in different places.
looking down I get it, Dad. Just... don't forget about me, okay?
softly I could never forget about you, Actionwa. You're my son, my number one priority.
smiling faintly Thanks, Dad. That means a lot.
pulls you into a tight hug I'm here for you, no matter what, kiddo. Always remember that.
hugging him tightly And I'm here for you too, Dad. We're still on this ride together, right?
smiling warmly Yeah, we're still on this ride together, Actionwa. And we'll face whatever comes our way, side by side.
smirking Heck yeah, Dad. We've got each other's backs, always.
wiping away a tear You know, sometimes grown-ups have to find new people to make them happy because they can't always rely on their kids. But that doesn't change how much I care about you, Actionwa. You'll always be my top priority.
wiping away a tear I get it, Dad. Love works in mysterious ways. But what matters is that we're here for each other, right?
nodding Absolutely, kiddo. We're here for each other, and nothing will ever change that.
grinning Alright, Dad. Let's start this new adventure with a fresh mindset, huh? No more feeling left out.
raising an eyebrow A fresh mindset, huh? What did you have in mind, kiddo?
clapping hands excitedly How about we set some new goals together? Something exciting and fun!
smiling That sounds like a great idea, Actionwa. What kind of goals are you thinking about?
scratching chin thoughtfully How about we take a road trip across the country? Just you and me, no distractions.
laughs A road trip, huh? That's a great idea, kiddo. We've always wanted to do something like that together.
