Summary
"Are we aliens?" she asks, thinking about grandpa's words and her dad's hesitation and all the things people at school say sometimes, the way she feels behind her lungs when other people say or do things she just doesn't get.
(It doesn't occur to her to single herself out. She and her dad are the same, and Thea and her dad are the same, and they're all the same as each other. Whatever she is all four of them are, even if they're different sometimes too.)

Summary
But maybe the specifics don't matter too much, really. Maybe Ted just has to let her know that she's not alone in any of it - because really, Ted never needed to know that he was different, he just needed to hear that there was a word for people like him because there were other people like him.
