Summary
Philza had always allowed his kids to express themselves. The way he figured it, there was no reason to not let them— children, especially as they got into their teenage years, knew who they were, and no amount of forced conformity would change that.

When Techno asks to dye his hair pink, Phil immediately agrees. The action seems simple to him, but it means more than he could imagine to his son.
