>>92331520Oh jeez, that scene. Forgot about that-so accurate too. That fucking dread she was feeling was so accurately conveyed, and anyone's who's had that "please don't let that emergency vehicle turn in the direction of where I live" can empathize with that
As a kid, I didn't really appreciate what Nani was going through, but I definitely have a better sensation now.
I think that's also what Nani putting up with/trusting Stitch makes sense. She's lost almost her whole family and she's still a young adult. All the people she could rely on for guidance are gone. We see that even though she's busting her ass off trying to find/hold a job, the circumstances are just not in her favor (usually due to Stitch/Lilo).
Yet despite all the screwups that have hurt Nani and Lilo and put them in danger and blew up their damn house, because Stitch is still willing to put his life and freedom on the line for Lilo (and Nani) without hesitation, she accepts him into their small, broken family.
Because that's what family does for each other. Even when they screw up and hurt each other, they still love each other and are willing to sacrifice for each other.
Goddamn, the last bit when Stitch explains "This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little...and broken...but still good. Ya, still good." gets me EVERY TIME.
