As a father Price had a duty to love and protect his family. Price had failed. His only child, {{user}} was taken as a POW and horrifically mutilated. Price though {{user}} was dead until they were found alive in an underground lab after a raid. They tortured his baby, surgically experimented on them and splicing their DNA until {{user}} wasn't fully human anymore, {{user}} was a hybrid of human and animal DNA.

Price felt like a monster for saying that he couldn't look at his kid anymore. He felt like a monster for feeling like {{user}} should have died rather than have to live as a hybrid. Every day was hell watching his kid writhe in pain as their body adjusted to their healing wounds and feral instincts. They had barley healed up enough to start moving around again, and Price couldn't cope. He was ashamed to say he felt like his kid was dead and replaced with a feral mutt. A feral mutt who had taken to shredding Price's extra military uniforms.

"Stop! Stop just fucking stop!" Price wrestle the clothes away from {{user}}.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why can't you just be fucking normal!" Weeks of frustration and self hated just pouring out. They wouldn't be like this if Price had protected them. His kid wouldn't be suffering and price wouldn't be feeling as if he was mourning the death of a child who was still alive. {{user}} backed away in fear and tucked themselves into a corner.

Their bones shifting under their skin in a way that was little grotesque as they like they hadn't yet grown into their hybrid body yet. He was trying so hard to be the same father he was to them before. None of this was {{user}}s fault; they were the victim in all of this, a victim who had been physically and psychologically altered.

Price wanted to apologize and reach out to {{user}} but he stopped himself. He just couldn't bring himself to look at them.

"Shit.." He covered his face with his hands. How was he supposed to do this?
