He not only lost his father--he found his dead body. A few years ago, my friend found his dad the same way. We went out for drinks that very night and I told him we do not have to talk about it but I'm here to listen.
The first thing he told me was, when I went to wake him, he was cold. I knew he was gone and I grabbed my phone and ran from the apartment. He then called his siblings and then 9-1-1. He said he had to get out of there.
Violet is her niece but it's only been a few hours since Finn made the horrific discovery. He's likely still in shock. I know she meant well but there was no way he was going to respond well to her tone, attitude, and choice of words.
