Dad's missing because of me. I brought this upon us.
You can't blame yourself. You can't change who you are. As long as you live, people will try to exploit you. Your father and I have tried to shelter you as long as possible, but one day we won't be there for you. And you're gonna have to carry the burden of your gifts on your own.
Don't say that, Mom.
And when your day comes, I have no doubt in my heart that you'll make us proud.
