Colt gets up early in the morning.
After tidying up a bit, he turned and walked out the door.
Peter Parker has recovered and moved back to his home, and now the Pasteur Building has returned to a deserted environment with only three people.
"Good morning." He greeted Franklin who was drinking water in the living room, "You got up early today?"
"Ah, yes." Franklin replied casually. He seemed to be hesitating, but he didn't speak in the end.
"Where's Xiaowa?" Colt asked casually, "Today is a day off, so you don't have to go to school. She's in the lab?"
"No, she's out, to meet a friend," Franklin replied.
"Meet a friend?" Colt was a little surprised, and then he laughed, "I really didn't know that she would go out instead of staying in the laboratory."
"Yeah." Franklin answered absently.
"You seem to have something to say to me?" Colt raised his eyebrows.
Franklin hesitated for a moment: "Although I'm not a very smart person and I don't understand your plan, but don't you need to continue to take care of those things?"
Colt laughed: "First of all, this is definitely not what you want to talk about, but I can still answer your question. After you retreat a rock from the mountain, do you need to do other things to help Did it land?"
Seeing that Franklin remained silent, Colt continued, "Are you worried about my relationship with Xiaowa?"
"No, I'm not worried." Franklin finally said after deliberating, "I just think it's a bit weird for you to do this."
"Maybe." Colt stood up and walked towards the laboratory.
……
A sidewalk coffee shop somewhere in Manhattan, New York.
Valeria looked down at the coffee on her desk.
"Obviously, no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary cup of coffee that won't turn out to be the solution to your problems," said the short brown-haired woman sitting across from her.
"I'm just a little troubled," Valeria said.
"If I were you, I would suggest that you talk to your own mother about this." The woman pursed her lips and replied, "You know, she must be more experienced in dealing with similar family difficulties."
"You know very well that I can't find her now." Valeria raised her head and gave her a white look.
"Then I don't think you should come to me. You must know that our family is completely in a mess when it comes to this kind of thing. The emotional life between my father and stepmother, well, you can understand without telling me." "The woman laughed as she said, "As for me, you should understand that it is difficult for me to analyze interpersonal relationships from the perspective of normal emotional communication."
"Perhaps your education in the Red House should at least have taught you to pretend to be considerate when you are hurt." Valeria sighed.
"Yes, if you were someone I needed to approach and gain my trust, I would definitely do that," the woman said, "but obviously you're not, so I'm going to tell you the truth."
"Okay, then if you analyze what you have learned in the red house, why does he have this tendency." Valeria said, "No matter what, there will always be a reason."
"If you want me to say, it may be some kind of self-destructive tendency." The woman touched her chin and replied after thinking, "Of course, not necessarily, maybe it is because of some special reason, but, no matter what, there is one thing It is certain, that is, he does not have a strong sense of belonging to everything around him."
"No sense of belonging?" Valeria frowned, "You mean, because he was forced to leave his original family and live in the Pasteur Building, he was not able to fully integrate into this new living environment, or, Doesn't he see the other superheroes around him as companions?"
"Maybe," said the woman, "but it's more likely than that."
She considered it for a while: "Although it may be bad to say so, have you really known everything about your boyfriend's past? Don't get me wrong, I am not forcing you to dig out all the secrets of your boyfriend's past, but As you said, there must be a reason for everything. His lack of sense of identity and belonging, and his inexplicable exclusion of himself from the group around him are not the thinking that a normal human being should have. "
Valeria frowned.
"You must understand more about this theory than I do. After all, human beings are social creatures. Unless he already has a group with which he is deeply identified, otherwise, after he arrives in a strange environment, he will not be surrounded by others. Instead, they will take the initiative to integrate into it and try to keep consistent with the surrounding environment to form self-protection.” The woman replied, “One of our important lessons in the red house is how to integrate into any social environment around us as soon as possible, so I can say that I have a little experience with it.
"Your boyfriend, after losing the past environment, failed to immediately integrate into the new environment, but chose to reject it subconsciously and let himself dissociate, which shows that he already has an old one he deeply agrees with in his heart. The environment, a complete comfort zone that he has built for himself.
"However, first of all, you need to know that you are not yet 18 years old, and adolescents are very easy to accept new things. Although your abilities may make you extremely precocious, from the communication between me and you, you are currently At this age, you still retain the need for recognition from the surrounding environment, even if you usually look very proud, but you still choose to discuss this issue with me now."
Valeria nodded in approval.
"Since you can, there is no reason for him to have such a big gap. Therefore, the only answer is that besides the ordinary family he lived in in the past, he also has another family, which has a greater influence on him, and can even be said to be directly It laid the background for his outlook on life." The woman said, "It's just that I can hardly imagine that there is anything that can have such a strong influence on a person directly in his youth or earlier, and even directly Let him have the mentality of some full-grown man who is somewhat stubborn in his refusal to accept a new environment."
"He said, used to it." Valeria said suddenly, "When we first met, he once told me that he was used to that kind of ordinary life, he didn't skip grades, and he didn't participate in superhero affairs. I just want to be a normal person."
"You see, this is right. He is used to living in an environment without super geniuses and superpowers." The woman snapped her fingers, "What you need now is in his past life, Find such an environment that can correspond."
