[Vanya freezes, eyes big and wide and white irises turning to brown abruptly. The force of Buzz's and Woody's anger catches her completely off guard, and their outrage and compassion on her behalf kicks her in a soft spot that makes her eyes well up and her throat close. It almost reminds her of Diego screaming at the sky about the cruelty of their father, but Diego had screamed for his own pain and he hurt her as much as anyone did. These little people meant for children who insist they aren't people at all feel more for her than anyone ever has.

She tries to speak, but she's a bit choked up. She has to clear her throat quickly to actually respond.]


Wow, uh, you guys really like your impassioned speeches, don't you? [It's an attempt at playing off how touched she is by it, but it falls flat. She is very touched and there is no denying it, even if she doesn't know how to deal with her feelings. They're stronger than she's used to without her medication, and vulnerability was always punished in her family even without her father around, so it's hard for her to compose a response.]

Yeah, I... our dad wasn't really any good with kids. [Understatement of the fucking year.] Your child is really lucky to have you.
