Hana walks into her mother's office to find Tina sobbing on her desk. "What's wrong?" Hana asked.

Tina looks up, "Have you ever been catcalled?"

Nico chuckles, "Did you just ask Hana if she's ever been catcalled?"

Hana elbows her sister, "Yes, mom, why? Did you..."

Nico laughs, "You're lying. I mean, what kind of person would wanna..."

Hana turns to Nico, "Just because you can say doesn't mean you should..." Hana looks at Tina, "How exactly were you catcalled?"

Tina, with tears in her eyes, said, "I was walking down the street, and this one homeless person called me a MILF."

Nico laughs, earning a glare from Hana. "What? Being a MILF is a compliment."

Hana pinched the bridge of her nose, "What does MILF stand for?"

Nico shrugs, "Mother I'd Like to..." then it clicked, "Oh God, are you okay?"

Tina shakes her head, "I haven't even told your father..."

"Tell me what?" as if on cue, Robert appears in the doorway. He, then sees Tina's tear streaken cheeks, making Robert worry as he walked toward his wife. "You okay?"

Tina could only manage two words between sobs, "I'm sorry..." her tears ran down her eyes as he wrapped her arms around her husband.

"What are you sorry for?" Robert rubbed circles on his wife's back, "What happened?"

"I'm sorry..." Tina repeated. "I was walking
to the cafe across the street to get coffees for the both of us, and a homeless person called me a MILF... I got scared and ran back to the building."

"If it makes you feel better," Nico offered, "Hana gets catcalled every five minutes..."

Both Tina and Robert looked at Nico in shock, while Hana simply shook her head, "Not true; it's more like four minutes and 58 seconds."

Tina looked confused, "How would that make me feel better?"

"I feel like," Robert thought, "you need a bodyguard."

"Or a leash." Tina sarcastically offered.

Nico smirks, "Maybe both..."

Hana nodded, "Or maybe a nonjudgmental family? Cause you, of all people, don't have the right to judge..." Hana whispers, "murdered 15 kids, cheated twice, a runaway."
