... No. They haven't. [Saying that as he's bowing his head dejectedly.] Even after all this time, my father and I still aren't on the best of terms.
[It'd been four years, now. Four years since the biggest argument to have rocked the Magallanes household...
"We need to talk." He had confronted his father, then. And he remembered the hard look that had been directed at him in response.
"No. We don't."
"Yes, we do. What the hell are you trying to do, Papa? Because this is starting to go too far!"
"I'm just trying to look out for you, hijo! It's for your own good!"
"For my own good... That's what you're saying all this is for?! It's for my own fucking good!!?"
He takes a deep breath to calm himself down as the rest of that shouting match played out in his head, before it ended with him hitting his father,then and his mother and siblings stepping in before the fight could get any worse.
It still felt so fresh in his mind. And not for the first time, he wished that he hadn't been born with an eidetic memory.]
