Fine, you're connected to Minato. Congrats- you've got a kid with a lot of issues who's a little too used to standing on his own otherwise. I'm glad you've got his back, I am.

But those aren't his thoughts. They're yours. Or maybe there's not- seems like you're not getting along so there may be more troubles brewing underneath the surface that I don't have the details about.

But shit, kid, don't get defensive about being urged to lighten up when you don't look happy with it either.
