"Yay!" Kamala gently punches him in the arm for the joke. She can't let that go unpunished!! It was too cheesy!! She latches onto his arm a second later both to steady herself and as a hug. He really has made her feel better. She's as clingy as ever. There's no other way to show her appreciation.

She walks a few seconds more in silence before requesting softly. "Hey, Pete? Don't tell Ammi about this, okay? I don't want her to be scared." She doesn't think she needs to explain why between the dead husband and angry son why it might be distressing to have her only daughter suddenly manifesting weird abilities.
