Automatically you start wondering then what you could get away with or it there was a limit to what he would forgive... would he still hug you if you had blood on your hands? None of that is really important right now though, as the both of you are still trying to find some understanding through this together.
<span class="mu-b">"...it's the way I want. I'm not evil, I'm a supervillain... there's a difference. I'm totally different."</span>
Of course you've had months, years to go over this in your mind and all the other ways you planned it out, so it all makes sense to you. For him trying to cope with it though, you can tell it's not easy for him and it didn't help to have learned it in such a harsh way. Although he supports you, it's obvious that he's disappointed in you for going down this path rather than perhaps that of a superhero, as a comparable example. Or anything really, that didn't involve crime.
<span class="mu-b">"Hey... don't beat yourself up over this dad, it's not your fault or anything. Whether it ends up going good or bad, it's what I wanted... I'm an adult now and making my own decisions, for once..."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"...I know you are... I know."</span>
You wipe your own eyes and muster some confidence to speak up for yourself and defend your choices, and for that you sense some pride in him at your conviction. At least he's not tearing up which in turn makes it easier for you, and you can be the one to give him a hug now without breaking down. The embrace he returns now is one of strength, rather than one of fear or worry when you first got home.
<span class="mu-b">"...it's not like I don't care about what you want, either. I'd still like your advice on stuff... you know, what do you think about it, like always."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"...I guess it's too late then to ask you to give it up, and do the right thing."</span>
The both of you can share a laugh over that, which is better than you could have hoped for moving forward from here.
