    Something about Price not showing up for his own kid's graduation, couldn't be bothered when "it's just uni, sport. I'll be there for something important, yeah?"

    And you fully expect to find no one sitting in the seat you pre-emptively reserved, all too hopeful that your dad would finally see you. Except...it's not empty.

    Simon is sat in your dads seat.

    Simon, the man who practically saved your degree when you were on the verge of a breakdown and dad was on vacation. Found you crying in a gas station parking lot and recognized you from Price's wallet.

    And....it feels weird, Simon where Price should be, almost like you're replacing your dad...but it's also nice?

    Simon has always been there when you needed him, more than your own dad ever was.

    He drives you to get shitty fast food afterwards in celebration, hand heavy on your thigh and you don't try to stop him. Of course you've thought about it, but never acted on it...
