"That's true," Dan says, before watching this all play out. He tries not to let hit show that he's surprised. Somehow, he was expecting that Stacia's mom was oblivious to everything, that she was clueless as to the struggles her daughter was facing - the way werewolves are in his world. The way he needs to get used to as not the norm for werewolves from anywhere else.

He looks to the Ghost. "I reckon Stacia and her mother don't have the warmest of relationships. Is there anything you can show me of their Christmases to prove me wrong?"

It's not a demand or a challenge; it's a straightforward question, because he suspects this memory isn't over, what he's supposed to glean from this isn't gone.
