[ Hearing it from Alfie helps. Royce doesn't ever talk about his own feelings - keeps them bottled up and lets them go sour. Mercy sees it and thinks it's tough, that it's the way she should be. She has to be tough to survive, they all do, and she wants to be like her dad, wants to be strong.
She doesn't realize the way Royce does it is unhealthy. It's a good thing she has Alfie to balance it out. ]
I know. [ She says defensively at first, and then she sighs huffily and rests her head back on Alfie's shoulder. ] I think I - I think the gun was really loud, is all.
