In all of her ordinary years she never could have counted the number of times she wanted to hear her sister say these things. When she came back to New York for their Father's funeral - a fated thing, as it turns out - things were starting to go well. She remembers Allison standing in her apartment, telling her she loved it. Vanya had expected to see the tells of dishonesty, but she meant it. It's incredible that they've been through what they've been through and done the things they've done to each other and how the thing that sticks out most in Vanya's mind is the way her face looked the first time she saw Vanya in her own space. The way that she showed up when no one else would.

"Dad was the worst," Vanya commiserates, swiping at a couple tears that have overflowed unnoticed until the slid down her face.

"Leonard" was the worst too, but she's not ready to go there. Unpacking the lifetime of shit their father had done to her - to all of them - is going to keep her plenty busy. Eventually she will have to face it, but not now. Now is about Allison and their family and mending the things that were born and forged broken.

"Thank you," Vanya says. "Everything is really scary now. I promise I'm going to learn to control my powers. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore."
