i have actually been thinking about all these little "hal won't be happy about me involving his kids into this" and "hal will kill me if anything happens to you" comments we've heard throughout the campaign and
i kinda believe that hal trusts his children more than that??? he knows that his daughters are not little girls but young brilliant women and he acts accordingly. i mean of course he would never put them directly in danger, of course he protects them, of course he wouldn't want them to be harmed in any way BUT
he very well knows that they are capable and smart. and they have each other, and they have elodie, and they have him and he has them, and they are not alone. he doesn't tell them everything but he's not actively hiding stuff or something. he gives them the opportunity to know things they get to know. he's honest when he says that everything's bad
he lets shadia use the paint and the blades even though he himself does not feel very confident about them
he lets hero be around and organize their little conspiracy teams
and yeah sure, he would potentially kill anybody who put his kids in danger (or is the source of the danger). but he's not as overprotective as people think about him and obviously not as overprotective as thjazi was towards him
he worries about his kids a lot but he also believes in them a lot, at least from what i see
