I wanted my dad to stop Tai from hurting my game AIs. I wanted him to confront her, at least as much as I had. But he just sat down and watched. I was desperate. I’d made every single one of them, and I didn’t want anyone hurting them. I’ll never forget what he did when I demanded that he DO something. He just smiled and said, “I trust you to have been careful enough that there is nothing to do.” Then he motioned for me to sit down next to him. It was amazing how much that calmed me down. I was still worried of course, but I sat down next to him, and just let him keep me calm as we watched Tai test the characters I had spent so much time bringing to life. Literally. It was one of the hardest things I had done in my life. Just sitting there.
