VERA: "But when Dad came looking for us later that day, I wasn't OK yet."
VALERIE: "Of course I did. No one messes with my sis."
VERA: "Yeah, it was awesome..."
VERA: "...Something wrong that will surely make my new father abandon me sooner or later too..."
VERA: "Some kids understood; some kids stayed confused; and yes, some kids mocked at me. It was OK, I had no issue being adopted. But those kids... they were a new level of mean. They implied there was something wrong with me that made my parents abandon me in the first place."
VERA: "Dad was both happy and heartbroken, since our mom died giving birth to Val. And when he saw me, also motherless, he instantly knew he was going to father me."
VERA: "Our dad was pretty transparent about it, so we knew and I explained it every time.
The day we were both born, on December 22nd, I was left at the hospital... an abandoned newborn."
VERA: "As I was saying, it's not about being officially "family"; but about the moments that bear true significance."

This ending is so friggin' hard to unlock that I thought it'd be nice to share at least the flashbacks. 1 per week, today the Valerie one. Ofc, HEAVY SPOILERS!

VERA: "So he might be the biggest dumbass I know, but he's my dumbass, and I will skin alive anyone who hurts him.
Same as with that drunk chaotic ghost that has inhabited my life..."
VERA: "I brought soup that evening to Scott, and you know the first thing he did?
He apologized for not joining me on my jogging routine that day..."
