I do like the dialog inversion happening here; props to the writer. I was a little worried how preachy things were getting, first with Serah's treehouse argument about Seb "not having a plan", and again with Dad's "this is not a game" page.
But this recent page with Dad berating them as a couple for not having a plan, this brings the treehouse argument full circle, Serah's words now mirrored back at her. We all saw how miserable Seb was the morning after that argument. And caring for Seb as we know she does, perhaps she's freezing up here realizing only now how severed Seb must have felt when she left him with those words, and might feel obligated to immediately call him with an apology.
Seems clear the pair will have to come up with creative solutions to pave their own way, as there's no clear path provided by their conservative environment to follow. Despite how Seb comes off as the slightly goofier of the twins, he alone did come through under pressure with his amazing "treehouse date" idea. So perhaps he might again shine through with a creative solution that, together with Serah's apparently sharper intellect to fine tune it, together they could establish a plan showing them to be a formidable team, and clearing a path to a promising future for the pair to continue a strong relationship.
Or well, something like that, anyways.. [EDIT: seth -> seb, lol]
