[Prying and probing is very much not Elsa's forte. The last thing she wants to do is force anyone to talk about things they don't want to. But she doesn't have to worry about it, Ford is explaining things and she's listening intently.

This is... a lot to comprehend, honestly. But it feels so familiar- a parent coming between siblings. Vastly different circumstances, but her heart absolutely goes out to him. It's a terrible thing, siblings should be best friends. The situation sounds like it could have been avoided her their father hadn't been so... so that.]

You must know it isn't your fault, though? [Elsa wishes this were face to face. She would absolutely be hugging him right now.] Your father, he... it sounds like he came between you. He put pressure on you and made you feel like that, er... scholarship? [Is it a boat for scholars? Now isn't the time,] was the be-all-end-all. If your father had been a little more understanding, perhaps things might have turned out different.

[Elsa herself looks almost in tears. What a heavy subject, what a deeply sad thing. It hits close to home and makes her want to go hug Anna, honestly.]

But... I'm sorry for what you went through. I truly am. No one deserves that, Dr. Ford. Especially not someone as kind and amazing as you.
