Miles consistently lies to Jeff and his mother, Reo, blaming the bruises on his own clumsiness, sports mishaps, or minor "roughhousing" at Brooklyn Visions Academy.
Jeff's mind spirals into the worst-case scenarios a father-and a cop-can imagine. He fears Miles is being bullied, getting caught up in a gang, or following in the footsteps of his late Uncle Aaron's criminal past. The silence from Miles feels like a betrayal of the trust they once had.
Rio notices the way Miles avoids eye contact and the physical toll his "normal" life is taking, but her attempts to reach him are met with the same wall of lies.
The Hidden Truth: Neither parent knows that Miles is actually Spider-Man. Every bruise is a mark of a battle fought for a city that doesn't know his name, and every lie is a desperate attempt to keep his family safe from the dangers of his mask.
