Just a random thought, but it's genuinely sad to see that the MC is more comfortable and freed with Hayden, someone who's considered the "bad crowd" in societal standards (does drugs, smokes, pr*stitution(?), has little parental guidance), than his own parents, who aren't exactly the ideal parents but not parents some would consider "terrible" at first glance (religious, "caring," active (I feel like yall r gonna argue with me on the parents part TT))
the juxtaposition kills me though, especially as someone who's been raised (as most are) to avoid people like Hayden (NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD ACTIVELY SEEK OUT PEOPLE WHO USE DRUGS!!)
