[ kaldur's relationship with his father and his feelings about his father are complicated to say the least, but he would think anyone else well within their right to speak of his father this way.
he knows better than to point that out. what purpose would it serve? ]
[ he has a headache. he's snapping. this is all not how he wanted this to go. distantly he recognizes that kaldur is trying to help - they've all been trying to help.
There's a significant delay in his response. ]
Believe it or not, I do listen when other people speak. I don't always agree, but I listen.
I don't understand why someone having a different experience automatically invalidates mine. I can hear theirs and understand it. But if theirs says "there is no danger" and mine says there is - isn't the responsible thing to do to prepare for the possibility of there being danger?
Then why the pushback? Why the fighting over semantics? We don't know what we're dealing with. Not fully. It's irresponsible to ignore it, and it's suicidal to pretend that what we've faced so far hasn't faced a very real chance of dividing and killing us.

I wouldn't say that about your father, don't say that about mine.
