"Right now, you're teaching me I can't talk to you, I can't show any emotion or I'll be punished for it."

"Your little sister has the same responsibility you're putting off. It's not wrong to expect work from someone old enough to do it."

"Why can't you just do what you say you're going to do?"

"It's like walking on eggshells around you."

"Just fake it if you need to, but come to the dinner your sister put so much time into for you. You know it'll hurt her if you don't come, right?"

"Because apparently you don't care about me. You seem to care about your sisters much more than you do me and Dad."
