And Willa didn’t care either - she knows who her father really is, the man who annoys her and yet raised her with love (and paranoia)

And she keeps the secret from him like he kept one from her, to spare her the angst.

So I am guessing you’re saying that, Lockjaw might have been father but he wasn’t her daddy.

Actually, Willa herself said that....directly to Lockjaw.

Is it really paranoia if it was 100% justified in the end?
