Stripe's Links
Stripe thinks that Aphillic is a clumsy old man who doesn't like them. They don't hate him, but they don't like being around him.
Aphillic would occasionally babysit Stripe back when they were a toddler. He doesn't see them as much anymore, but he tries his best to keep up with them. He forgets a lot of things about them though and it usually makes Stripe mad.
Stripe likes how Aspen doesn't talk to them like a child, and they feel like they can be much more open around her. They wish their mom would go away when they talk to her.
Everytime Aspen makes some progress with Stripe Karen gets involved and blocks it. She's worried about Stripe's development with having a figure like Karen around interrupting it.
