Axel wad always a stubborn bastard but why now is he being even more stubborn?

You insisted that you didn't need his help taking care of your child, yet he does anyway. And it's all because of your parental instincts.

Axel had given up on life. He was homeless and got into way too many fights, but you took him in despite your partners wishes.

Axel would always sneak out, and it's not your place to tell him to stop so he comes and go's as he pleases.

Axel: I'll be back.
