Mei expects another lecture and gets something better. Her father tells her the panda is not a defect to erase but a part of her to live with. "The point isn't to push the bad stuff away," he says. "It's to make room for it, live with it."
あらすじ

What's really going on
Everyone in the family treats the panda as a problem to be locked away, and Mei keeps failing at it. Her father reframes the whole struggle: the goal is not control but accommodation. He tells her, "The point isn't to push the bad stuff away," then finishes the thought for her: "it's to make room for it, live with it." This is the film's thesis delivered by its quietest character, and it lands because he never scolds her. He also recalls the past — "She almost took out half the temple." — so Mei can picture her mother as someone who once lost control too, rather than only an authority to obey. What Mei hears is that being messy does not disqualify her from being loved, which is exactly what she needs before she can face her family again.
Theme
Coming of ageMei learns that growing up is not erasing her messy feelings but making a place for them.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Jin tell Mei to live with the panda?
Because trying to lock it away has only made her miserable. He argues that the panda is part of her, so the healthier answer is to make room for it rather than fight it.
Does Jin take Mei's side against Ming?
He does not attack Ming. He humanizes her instead, telling Mei that her mother once fought her own mother and lost control too, which helps Mei understand rather than simply obey.
What does Jin mean by "messy" sides?
He means that people are not consistent: everyone holds contradictory feelings and flaws. It is his way of telling Mei that being messy does not make her bad.
Is Jin angry that Mei ran away?
No. He arrives calm and curious, and he never scolds her. He offers an answer instead of a punishment, which is why Mei is able to listen.
What problem does the panda cause in the family?
It has wrecked things before — the line about someone almost destroying half the temple hints at how much damage a panda can do when it is out of control.
