YES! If you're interested, would Lou have at all been up for, like, mentoring him a bit during those first few years? I think coming into Enodia, Parson was Hyper Competent At His Job but still incredibly "What Could One Banana Cost?" immature mid-20s guy socially. So he could've done with guidance from someone willing to steer him into being less dramatic about dumb social stuff and more focused about important details.
