He tells them again that this is not something he's unsure about and that they need to accept this as the truth, saying that if they can't do that, he can't stay with them because it would be living a different lie. After he walks out, Lily realizes her reactions have been less than supportive and worries that he might actually leave home. Holden assures her that's not likely and says they just have to rely on the fact that they've raised Luke to be a good person and trust him to choose the right path for himself in life.
