It's not because you're a girl! [ At least not mostly. Her gender obviously does play a factor, despite his best efforts of for it not to. ]

I...I realize sometimes I have trouble seeing you a little differently than the toddler who just learned how to walk when Grandfather disappeared! It's silly and a little cliche and I know it's not an excuse for my past behavior, and while I know you're a straight up dame who can handle a horde of zombies just as well as she could any full grown man, you're still my cousin--my sister--and I would not hesitate to stick my guns right up someone's nose for attempting to pull anything.

[ You're his responsibility, Jade! ]
