i see people talk about con like “he’s the only one who’s actually coping well” like miss ma'am he spent literal hours a day for multiple days sitting with his dead dad because it was the first time in his 55 years of life where his dad couldn’t ignore him or brush him off. his first statement upon finding out his dad is dead was “he never even liked me” which he amends only because his baby siblings are looking at him with the biggest saddest wettest eyes, and even then he returns to “i just never got to make him proud” he is not coping well. the only reason we don’t see him have a breakdown is because he is so used to the absence of his parents. by the age of sixteen logan wasn’t his father anymore, he was an empty pit in his stomach, a sinking feeling of ‘never enough’ who walked and talked and told him as much. con mourned the loss of his father the day they brought kendall home, or maybe even before that because logan was never really his dad –
