Because he was the villain's father and his name wasn't mentioned in the novel so she called him father
Quarantine is making my head go wonks. I can’t wrap my head around that sentence.
There is a villain in the novel. That silver guy is the father of the villain = The villain (in the future) is his SON and the son will kill him later. She wants to avoid this whole drama.
That's why she called him "father" - He is the father of the villain but his real name wasn't mentioned in the novel, only "father".
Let's just say that it's the nickname for him lol
Why does she call the duds father?
