fighting the executive dysfunction and thinking about chiyo’s dad who is a therapist who doesn’t know how to help his daughter without coming off as if he’s treating her like a patient, so he’s mainly acted like her best friend most of her life. definitely still a dad, but the heavy stuff gives him pause. her mom is a teacher and very protective, yet that would work against her in school back in the day. chiyo is very close with both of her parents, but neither have ever been very good at helping her in the way she truly needed.

chiyo’s grandma just always seemed to know what to say. she seemed to just understand chiyo even when she was keeping all of her words locked away. to this day, her grandma is her person, the one she goes to when life is simply too much. it doesn’t mean her parents aren’t as important to her or that she loves them any less; she just doesn’t know how to talk to them without fearing how much they’ll worry over her.
