Speaking from Experience

See here, this is the thing The truth is people who have toxic ass parents like Cirrus don't even need to do anything, actually (although, he sadly did a little bit, but at least Skylar stopped him from going past the point of no return.) The abusers' true colors will show through eventually. They can't keep up the good guy act the whole way through, because they aren't. So satisfying to see Cirrus doing and being better than his father. Kid's smiling because he knows he's won. I hope a teacher also saw Cirrus' dad hitting him like that. It's about time that man gets in trouble for being a horrible father.
