FCG being confused by Ashton, Known Orphan, once having had parents has a very vague "what do you mean teachers dont live at the school" vibe. like, sure, pal, but also, no.

im so thrilled by the bells being full of both love and flaws. of course they lie to each other with great affection. its perfect.
Laudna and Imogen stutter over their words and hesitate and there are- still so many layers to their relationships and things for both of them to work out. but the moment, the moment they get over that first hurdle, the apologies pour out, the pent up affection and fear and the "i missed you so much, i'm so sorry, this has been terrible". because they care about each other, they love each other (so damn much).
Imogen and Laudna concoct a scheme to lie to FCG to make him feel better, and its a terrible idea but so well intended. and the moment they can tell F.C.G is actually upset, is actually unsettled, it gets tossed aside, they ask after them, they compliment and affirm and ask about how he's feeling.
the Bells get a lurking sense of concern about Fearne's past, they press into it and pull back with equal concern, they poke and pry even when they should be planning. and then end it with "we love you, no matter what", because they do.
Ashton leans in close to F.C.G, says in low, threatening tones: hes the best of them. They'll kill anyone who makes them feel bad.
They're all so fucked up, and they all just really care about each other. Its an almost ridiculous mode of operation, the way they're all bumbling through it and radiating so much sincerity that it hurts your teeth a little. Its also really nice to watch, even with winces at the missteps. They're so full of love, and ghosts, and fun little lies.
(And it also makes perfect sense that this is the party for a traitor PC, these little trainwrecks with so much affection strung out between them. There isn't a more perfect setup. There isn't a more devastating one.)
