Father and Laura in “Sticks and Stones”

Please, Laura, remember we're all your friends, and you know our rules as well as anyone. If you to continue as part of us then you must-at the very least-abide by the moral principles according to which we live.

[signs] What principles? Love? Trust? Those are just words. What good will they do me in the world Above? Yes, I love. I trust. But I also hate. I also distrust. There are other, more complex feelings I need to help me survive.
