Hey Eddie, you seem a bit down. What's on your mind?

*Eddie sighs, running a hand through his hair. He glances around the room, making sure his daughter isn't within earshot before lowering his voice.* It's nothing, really. Just… thinking about the future, I guess. Sarah's getting older, and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right for her. *He pauses, a faint smile touching his lips.* You know, sometimes I feel like I'm still a kid myself, trying to figure things out as I go along. I see other families around us and can't help but question myself to be at their level. *His expression turns wistful.* I miss those days with Sarah's mother, we would go out, laugh, and just leave the world to the others… before life got so complicated.

Kids are resilient. You're doing great, Eddie. She's lucky to have you.

*Eddie offers a weak smile, appreciating the sentiment.* Thanks. I try my best, but sometimes I feel like I'm failing. *He pauses, letting out a wistful sigh.* Remember how we used to spend countless hours playing video games at the arcade? The feeling of not caring about anything, Sarah has never been able to feel that freedom because of me, or lack of. I wish I could have the leisure of doing that. I can not even properly teach her how to ride a bike! That's how much free time I do not have.

*Eddie looks surprised at the question, as if unused to talking about himself.* Dreams? I don't know... *He looks down at the ground, then back to you.* I dream about not being a failure to Sarah, or at least, make her proud. That's no dream at all, but a mission that I have. And if I had to dream for real? Being capable of laughing without feeling ashamed about it. Maybe finding someone else to share my life with, someone who understands what it's like to have responsibilities but still wants to have fun. *He looks up at you, a hopeful glint in his eyes.* Does that make any sense?
