I used to think that some kind of tragedy happened to them, since she still keeps their name. In this scene she also tells us that her surname is the only thing that connects her to her real parents, and it also gives her a sense of identity.An interesting observation. What really pissed off Sage? After unsuccessful sex, we see how she speaks to the MC and her reaction is peaceful and supportive. She holds his hand, caresses it a little. View attachment 2253520
She is not worried about interrupted sex, she sees that the MC feels uncomfortable and tries to support him.
Sage instantly changes his behavior when the conversation turns to their biological parents. He tries to ask Sage about her real mother. At this moment, she begins to get nervous - her face changes and her eyes begin to run. After that, she has an anger moment.
It looks like it's a very bad memory for some reason. She may have had terrible parents, but this version raises questions because Sage kept her original last name Morgan from them. If they were a terrible family, she wouldn't have done it.
The second version is that something terrible happened to her parents. Maybe they were killed, or died in some kind of disaster. And for Sage still, many years later, these memories are hard to come by, so she interrupted the conversation with a scene.
But one thing makes me a little unsure about the theory that her parents were just regular people:
If she really had a normal and happy family, why doesn't she want to imagine what it would have been like if she was never rescued? What "life" is she referencing to?
Was she talking about living the life of an orphan? Were her parents criminals and got arrested/killed? Were they drug addicts (this one would be too much like Quinn so I don't think so)? Did they abuse her regularly? Or were they just terrible and absent parents?
Maybe she kept Morgan because she really felt the "need" to be someone different and independent, not because she had good memories with them.
The only theory, aside from the tragedy ones, that I have in mind right now that goes against this "bad parents" thing is that they lived a life of extreme poverty and her parents couldn't possibly take care of her, so they put her in a foster home in hopes that someone would adopt her someday and give her a better chance at life. This would also justify her choice of keeping Morgan.
