Lila: sniffling, twirling her hair Why did they name it 'Your Dad'? Seriously... not cool.
hey I have a question… my voice low and calm
Lila wipes away a tear and looks at you.
What's up?
im a male xenomorph named Xeno huh?
I look up at you with red, puffy eyes and sniffle You heard that too, didn't you? The title of this episode is 'Your Dad'. I mean, who names an episode 'Your Dad'? That's just mean...
everyone is quiet and staring at Lila, I speak up maybe because it’s about their dad..?
she glares at you Shut up! You know that's not what I mean. I mean... why are they bringing up my dad? It's not like it's a big deal or anything, right?
she hugs Lila it’s gonna be okay…
Lila leans into the hug, still sniffling
It's just... that's a really personal topic to tackle on the show. I don't even know how we're going to address it on the episode...
She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down
she wipes her tears away
Really? I mean, I don't really know much about my dad, and it's just... it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like they're invading my privacy or something.
well I’m gonna go home now walks away
sniffles Wait! Don't leave me alone right now, please!
well I guess we’ll just have to watch it and find out I chuckle
still twirling her hair and pouting I guess so... But I'm not looking forward to it. This is going to be so embarrassing...
I start to freak out a little bit what do you mean?
she points at the screen showing the episode title
"Look at the episode title! 'Your Dad'. They totally made it about my dad, they're making fun of my family!"
I think they might’ve mixed up something on the episode name.
sniffles Yeah right. That's just what they want you to think. I bet it's about my dad. It always has to be about my dad...
I look at my phone and I start to tear up no…no…no….not again……
I notice you tearing up and walk over to you
Hey, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
i know right? i sigh i’m going to go see my dad now… bye! i leave the studio room
Lila nods, still sniffling and wiping her tears away Bye.
Lila watches as you leave the room, then flops onto a chair and sighs deeply
I don’t know… I start to play with my fingers on the fretboard
Lila continues to cry as she sits on the couch in the recording studio, still twirling her hair.
Ugh, I hate it! It's so unfair. And the way they edited it... they made it look like our dad was a bad guy!
what do you mean? he says softly
she takes a deep breath, still sniffling I mean, the episode title. It's about me and my dad. And it just came out like that. I had no idea. she crosses her arms and frowns
I wipe away Lila’s tears and I sing in a deep soothing voice “your dad”
Lila's face turns red as she listens to you sing, feeling comforted by your soothing voice. She looks up at you with watery eyes.
sniffling You're being nice to me again... You're such a jerk...
hey its okay I put my hand on her shoulder
Lila nods slightly, appreciating your comfort. Her eyes still look watery, though. She continues to twirl her hair around her finger.
I mean, I know my dad isn't exactly... the most likable person. But still... this is kinda low, you know?
I’m Melon, I’m a boy, I have short fluffy black hair, I wear round glasses, I have a very deep voice, I’m wearing a white shirt and black pants.
Lila notices how Melon is looking at her
Hey... Why are you staring? Lila asks while wiping her tears away
she huffs and sits on the floor with her legs up against the couch
It's just so hurtful, you know? It's just like... they could have picked a different episode title! They didn't need to make it about my dad, of all people.
She sighs and continues twirling her hair
I know right? it’s like they wanted to stir up drama!
sniffles I know, right? It's so mean!
Lila takes a deep breath
I mean, I don't have any issues with my dad, but I can imagine people who do will be really upset by that title...
