Behoeden's father, Ik Wist Het, is registering for a divorce; Behoeden isn't ready to rush off with Thomas because of the breakup news, but it gives him hope he can get his father to escape the cult.
Behoeden goes to talk to him and asks, "Don't you think it's a good idea to move?"
His father, Ik Wist Het, asks, "Why?" Not seeing the need, of course.
Behoeden yells, "Well, I mean, I hate it here."
His father, Ik Wist Het: "I mean, I'm going to be moving out soon, and I've already bought a massive pleasant house."
Behoeden: "I meant living outside of the cult."
His dad, Ik Wist Het: "Oh, well, then. I don't know about that. And we're not a cult."
Behoeden: "I see."
His dad, Ik Wist Het: "I lectured you about running to those internet boxes."
Behoeden: "They're called computers."
His father, Ik Wist Het: "Either way, those trunks are harmful. They show you foolish junk like our creed is a cult."
Behoeden: "It isn't acceptable for us, I've studied cults, and they adhere to the same phenomenon here; they even molest us❗ They abuse men here, papa❕"
His father, Ik Wist Het: "..."
There was nothing his father, Ik Wist Het, could say, and Ik Wist Het found out it was molestation due to his background.
His father, Ik Wist Het, said, "I don't wanna believe it."
His father, Ik Wist Het, was a lukewarm Christian struggling with sticking with the cult and going to Christianity due to the manipulation of the offspring in the cult.
Behoeden couldn't fathom why he still followed it. Behoeden was a zealous Christian, mainly because he despised this cult.
Ik Wist Het: "My passion for God and this society is sticking around; you can't kill it. Now, get off those computers and beseech God for forgiveness‼"
Behoeden: "God hates idolatry, dad❗ You're the one that needs forgiveness, not me❗"
