While I empathize with the sentiment, I'm not sure if running away solves anyone's problems. I think I entertained the thought once, but I was too scared. And even then... I had to face those problems head on.
[ But she had actual powers to solve it. She doesn't know anything about Neil and Charlie's world other than it seems... normal. ]
Is it wrong to presume your father is more stricter than your mother?
[Neil can't bear to say it, but he did run away. He solved his problems with a bullet and a gun, and now, all he has left to do is sit around and think about them. Haru is braver. Haru didn't leave her friends behind to grieve. He should take her advice, but it feels too late. So, he merely answers her question, no more talk of how to solve problems, or whether or not to run.]
He is. She just does whatever he says. Not that I blame her. [Maybe he does, just a bit. Maybe he should, just a bit.]
A lot of married women are expected to be subservient to their husbands. I imagine for our parents, their generation can't release themselves from society's expectations so easily. But we're the younger generation, so we can do it. We can free ourselves from those expectations and rules.
[Neil freed himself, alright. He feels ill, thinking about it. He always feels ill, thinking about it.]
It never seemed that way to me. Most of the guys I knew at Welton would have done anything their parents told them to do. That's just the way it had to be.
So, how can anyone free themselves? We were all meant to be doctors, bankers, lawyers, not living people.
[Jesus. Shit.]
I'm sorry, Haru. With everything going on, I've been feeling strange. I should go take a walk or something.

It's something I don't have to worry about here.

I miss my mother. Still, I think it's worth it. Maybe I should have just run away.
[Too damn late for that now.]
