To add to Celine goes to therapy if Rumi believes Celine is making progress in her therapy(Celine isn’t but is to ashamed to admit it) then I could see her say hey let’s do family therapy. Only problem Celine doesn’t want to take Mi-Yeong’s place and feels that she doesn’t deserve a daughter like Rumi. This does cause issues to say the least and Rumi starts suspecting Celine may not being truthful with how well therapy is going.
In hindsight, Rumi should have known better than to think that Celine would take so well to therapy.
Her Cece is a woman who showed her affection through plates of cut fruit and her apology through increasingly elaborate meals. When this whole thing had started, before the idea was even broached with Celine, Rumi had guessed that Celine would last maybe two sessions before saying that it, "wasn't for her" and giving up.
Mira had given it three months. But only because she thought Celine's stubbornness would win out and force her to give it an actual try.
Zoey had thought it would take a miracle to get Celine to agree at all.
("And beating back Gwi-ma and creating a new honmoon isn't a miracle?" Mira had asked.
"Point, point.")
But Celine had, somehow, gone regularly for the last six months. And she seemed to be -- different wasn't the word Rumi would use, exactly. She asked about them more; how they were doing, if they needed anything from her, if they wanted her to change things.
Rumi couldn't lie, it was a little overwhelming to suddenly have Celine so concerned with their wellbeing. Not when Celine had taken a somewhat hands-off approach to them in recent years, trusting that they could handle themselves.
But it was also nice.
In a childlike way, that Rumi refused to acknowledge, it was nice to know her guardian was paying attention to the state of their refrigerator (horrifically empty of anything Celine considered "real food") and the work they were putting into their comeback album (apparently it was now "concerning" that they were spending every waking moment in the studio).
It made her think that maybe Celine would be open to talking about their relationship specifically. Maybe even be willing to acknowledge that they were as close to a mother and daughter as the both of them would get.
And maybe she would be open to hearing Rumi talk about how badly Rumi wanted a mother growing up -- still wants a mother, actually -- and how, Rumi understood why Celine did it. Miyeong was clearly important to Celine and Celine didn't want to take anything away from Miyeong but Celine had, effectively, prevented Rumi from having a mother at all.
"But you know," she would say. "Maybe we can try now?"
That hope was shot down when she mentioned maybe doing a joint therapy session to talk through their issues?
And for a second, Celine had looked so genuinely crushed that Rumi was convinced that she had somehow said, "I hate you, I never want to speak to you again, get out of my life" where she had meant to say, "I want to be closer to you and understand you better."
"That -- is that needed?" Celine asked, frowning. "If there's something you'd like for me to fix, you just need to ask."
"That's not what I meant?" Rumi said. She scratched the back of her neck. "That's -- what do you think family counseling is? What's been happening in your own counseling sessions?"
"Nothing," Celine said. "Lots of painful self-reflection. Necessary self-reflection, of course. Now if you'll excuse me--"
Rumi and Celine coming back to the penthouse for one of Celine and Huntrix's "reconciliation dinners" and finding Mira and Zoey standing in front of a large banner with:
WE ARE A CHOSEN FAMILY (yes this includes you Celine)
