In high school remember asking a similar question about a girl’s scars on her arm and she said she got them from a “skiing accident”. I was too naive to really understand. Just… damn.
The “go stay with the guy who slices the ham at the supermarket” is a very specific example, Frank. Perhaps being relatable will work better than being patronising, eh?
Honestly I don’t think he knows how to be relatable, or this is simply how he relates. Anna may well be the only person who has ever tried to relate to him in his entire life (except maybe Liz, if her backstory is the same as in Cheap Thrills).
What I mean is, he clearly went through similar emotional experiences to Beth (this is why his example is so specific), but instead of saying that, he behaves as an observer with a sage advice. The latter are … annoying 😉 Someone who went through the same hell as you sharing what they think about their own experience? That’s a different story.
But people are imperfect, and judging by the next page, Beth did exactly that (acted relatable), and Frank finally caught on.
I’m wondering whether he knows about the scars on her legs. Anna must have seen them at some point and she may have told him she self-harms “off screen.” The look on his face tells me that at minimum he knows there is a pretty good chance she does something similar. I also like the earnestness on his face about having a plan … he gets it. He really does. He’s just too soft to leave his mom.
If he’d been dealt a different hand, he’d probably make an excellent social worker or caregiver. He’s got such a gentle heart, which definitely changes the way I read the things he says. Like something could initially sound really biting or sarcastic, but he’s really being earnest, doesn’t see a need for a filter most of the time, and he’s got a -1 to Charisma.

Wow. Such emotional intelligence, maturity, and insight. “What will be the inevitable result if I actually tell her how I got those scars? NOPE”
Frank is a hero.

He got those from staying with the guy who slices ham at the supermarket.
