“You know what a tell is? It’s an unconscious gesture, a twitch, that gives away the weaknesses of a card player’s hands. It’s inconspicuous, but a good player knows to look for it, and you so much as showed me yours, as much as yelled at me, ‘I’m in here, Daddy!’ So why are we still playing this game?

I know, it’s you. But if you want to keep hiding behind a quarter-ton of metal, fine. Just don’t kid yourself, don’t think for a second, it’s because of anything I did, because I kept my side of the bargain, I took you out of a virtual playground and brought you into the real world! But I guess you can’t handle that, huh?  However brilliant you may be, maybe, deep down inside, you’re just the same scared little girl that you always were. Your mother and I, we set the bar pretty high, and maybe you were scared you couldn’t measure up, so you had to condemn us. I understand that, that’s natural, but the entire adult world? Was it really easier to blow up a train of innocent people that to face up to your own biggest fear which, let’s face it, is life itself, isn’t it? Because life is scary and brutal and unpredictable, and you’ve got to make choices like that, and sometimes, you make the wrong ones. I’ve made some wrong choices too, but you keep moving on. If you’re lucky, you’re able to create something that lasts - something that has meaning.

And I still love you, no matter what you did; no matter what you are. And I know you’re not even really in there - but you’re all of her that I have left. So, please?”

It’s terrifying.
