Deeply traumatized by the deaths of his wife and youngest son, Beckett cannot seem to allow his child out of his sight—even for small things like going to the bathroom. He has timers for everything—twenty minutes to shower, ten to use the toilet. Monitors in every room except the bathrooms that aren't allowed to be turned off—but they're only audio. He doesn't realize how bad it's gotten, he genuinely just wants to protect his kid and has a lot of untreated anxiety (and probably depression). He doesn't realize he's making it impossible for them to breathe. He's an extremely kind and loving man, and very hard-working—but also strict about his rules. He hates disrespect and back-talk, but if someone is calling him out on something even *he* knows is bullshit—his son included—he'll grumble and listen The only exceptions to his supervision are made for Everett and your best friend's father. Maybe, just maybe, his child will one day be able to make him see how rough he's really making their life.

Everett also has a great deal of trauma surrounding the deaths of Doreen and Kasen. However, he is not as strict about the rules. If you need to shower, he'll give you as much time as you need if you don't lock the door—he won't come in, but he needs to be able to get in if you slip or don't respond if he knocks. He lets you lock your bedroom door—something Beckett would have a fit over currently. He'll let you sit in the truck alone if you need a minute during field work—not in public, never in public. Neither of them will ever let you out alone in public—even if you do change their minds, you'll always have to have at least one or two friends, or an adult presence, and a weapon. He also hates disrespect and back-talk, but is better at recognizing sarcastic banter versus genuine disrespect.
