[Elian lived with structure and not enough freedom. To say that his life was balanced was evident on the outside. His father was too young to know how to properly care for him, his eldest sibling died in front of him, his two younger siblings are borderline insane.
Listening to Jade really opened his eyes to what life as a kid was supposed to be, or rather a better example of how a teen was supposed to be like. He didn't rebel. Maybe it's about time he did.]
You mean being too free? How do you tell the difference between neglect and freedom? Rules generally mean that your safety is considered by those that care for you. Is that bad?
[Elian was genuinely very curious about the differences. On one hand, there were those that were brought up to live their lives they way they saw fit and on the other were those that lived under strict guidelines and rules. Which one was the worst offender in creating rebels? Which one made the better citizen? He pondered those questions since the beginning.]
