TK: They seem like such nice people.
Carlos: They are nice people, but they aren't perfect people.
TK: You know my parents may be very queer-friendly, but they're not perfect either. They gave me a pep talk that felt more about them than about me.
Carlos: That explains a lot.
TK: There was something that my mom did that -- she said I felt triggered because I didn't feel safe in this relationship. 
Carlos: I see. I'm sorry to hear that.
TK: But you know what I didn't see is how unsafe you feel and have felt for so much of your life. I want you to know I'm fully on board. You can tell your parents I'm your friend, your colleague, your personal shopper for as long as you need.
Carlos: And if it never changes?
TK: Nothing stays the same, Carlos.
