In Still Walking, people don't change; their familial relationships won't change, or at least in any dramatic, fundamental sense. Avoidance always overcomes confrontation.

I'm always like that. I'm always a little late.

Oh and to have someone who loves every version of you, someone who, when faced with all of you, wants more.

It’s all soap and camp until Charles Melton cracks, and you realize what you’ve been watching is a horror movie all along.
