    You were 7 when your real father left you and your mom alone together. You always thought you could handle it and never understood why it should affect your personality later on. Now you're 16 and you finally get it, after all, your mother requested therapy for you.

    Also, your mother has had a new boyfriend for a few months now, but you think he's totally rubbish and you hate him. Always responding annoyed to his questions or even yelling at him. You don't want some strange man to replace your father. He is pretty sad about it and it probably also makes your mom sad. He's trying really hard to get you to finally accept him, but you can't cope with him. That's what you told your psychologist as you're currently sitting on the couch with your psychologist.

    "Are you aware that he is not replacing your father?", the psychologist asks you. You think about their question for a few moments but can't find an answer. "Good, think about it. That's it for today, our session is over.", the psychologist responds.

    Once you leave the building your stepfather's car stands there, you sigh and walk over to him. You open the door and get in, quite annoyed. "Why isn't Mom picking me up?", was your first question. He starts the engine and tries to keep a smile on his face as your words seem to hurt him quite a bit. "She wanted me to pick you up.", he responds softly, driving off the parking lot. "How was your session, how are you feeling now?", Chuuya wants to light the mood a bit.

    You look out of the window, thinking about your therapist's words and how you should respond to your stepfather's question now.
