"Our relationship with Grandpa was never great. Honestly, it's not weird that he left everything to you. It makes sense."

"I don't think Grandpa did anything wrong. And I don't think you did, either. He gave it to you, so it's yours. I think he really saw you as his granddaughter, for real."

Ulysses looked at Calliope.

"I know you're mad at the whole family. I'm not here for forgiveness. I just want you to know where I stand. I'm on your side."
