This is perfect. Absolutely perfect and heartbreaking and hopeful and wonderful. I can't gush enough about this. Martin is absolutely right-on here: up until this point, his life has been about figuring out what doesn't make him happy. Now he's got to figure out what actually does.
And Victor! *flails* That conversation is just--I know I'm using the word "perfect" too much, but that's what it is. Martin's so defensive, so on his guard--and Victor just seems so weary, after thirty-odd years of clashing with his kid, never being able to communicate--and then finally--understanding.
And Martin finally getting it--*squees, flails wildly* OMG. OMG.
