Synopsis
As Fara and Colin sit at a table together, Fara remembers telling Colin about Rain and Colin's subsequent bad reaction. In the present, Fara says she still isn't sure if she can forgive Colin.

So, the first three panels are how Fara and Colin broke up way back in Chapter 12. This was never shown, which led to an awful lot of confusion for a long time (sorry for that). Given it was later explained that this is essentially what happened, I considered leaving out this specific depiction. But I decided it might help explain Fara's hesitation to forgive and forget after all.
The big thing I want to focus on here though: is Colin forgivable? If you were Rain's guardian, would you be having coffee with this guy after what he said? We've since seen him in Rain's presence, but can we assume he's had a change of heart as Aiken has, or was Colin just biting his tongue for the sake of being civil in front of Fara? And following all of that, is there hope for Fara and Colin? Should there be?

If you come over for Christmas, you have to understand out situation a little. Rain is transgender. And she's not out as such to all of the family. So, during the holiday, because her brother is staying with us, she's actually presenting as a boy. And I need to ask you to just understand because she's not ready to tell her brother.That's not it at all. I'm not making her do anything. She's transgender. She identifies as female. I'm simply supporting her wishes to be who she is.
