...this is going to sound...maybe creepy. But...I trusted you from the moment we met. I'm still...figuring out what it means to be someone's daughter.
I love you like family John. It feels like...I can trust you to have my back. And you'll have mine. It's...okay for me to be honest with you, with all my feelings. And...I hope you feel the same way.
That...we can help each other, support each other. I...don't know if I'm using all the right words.
That's the nice thing about trust, [ he says it slowly, thoughtfully ] namely that there are no... 'right' words. There's better words and words that might take a little longer. But they're all good words. And you don't have to be 'right'.

I've felt the urge to look after you for a long time. A-and we'll figure out together, what being my daughter is, what me being your father is.
[ Wry. ]
Pretty sure most people only do it for the first time once. So... we're off to a good start.

[She paused. Another sniff.]
Sometimes people.

Re: post-breach
[ He gives her a little squeeze. ]
Like I said: it feels like we've finally seen what was already there. So. Now we're looking at it. What do you see?

Yeah. Most people only do it once. Bit of a late start but...we'll figure it out. Or at least- just- well. We can...keep looking out for each other.
