"Vicky! Do you think it's any easier for him to see you turn into a murderer… because of him?" the captain asked.
"He can hate me for all I care… as long as he's alive," Vicky said.
"Trust me when I tell you that you don't want your dad to hate you," the captain said.
"He could kill me if he wanted, but I'll still make sure he's safe… so he doesn't end up like my mom… and my brother," Vicky said, with tears in her eyes.
"Vicky! You want to know why my wife isn't around?... She was mad at me for getting Alice a car for her birthday. If I never got her the car… she'd still be alive," the captain said. Vicky looked at him, and realised he was upset too.
"Are you okay?" Vicky asked. She stared at him.
"It hurts knowing that the people you love the most hate you," the captain said. He stared forward. Vicky felt upset, after seeing him upset.
"I'll think about what you said," Vicky said. The captain looked at her.
