still in the flashback
In the morning after the party, Monica swapped her stained clothes for something clean, then headed to the communications room. Her dad had stayed the previous night there, working on something that might be important for the plot. She pushed the door open hard enough for it to bang against the wall.
Her dad looked up. He was tired but managed a faint, welcoming smile.
"I am going on that mission whether you like it or not," she said. "and you can't stop me."
Before he could answer, she was already gone.
He was too tired to go after her, so he decided to rest for a few hours before confronting to her.
