Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

[If only Natsuhi had actually been talking about Erika]

True. Though I must admit I've met some mature children as well, maybe it's to make up for seeing so many cruel ones.

[There might be a complement hidden there.]

[cyan_maid]

[gasp]

I wish I could say there was an easy way to find the mature kids, but it's unfortunately a trial and error process.

[refusedtoleave]

I wonder what causes it. What was the saying? 'Nature versus nurture' if I met some of the parents of these children, would I see a resemblance?

[There's not much in it, but she giggles.]

That's a horrifying thought with some of them...

[cyan_maid]

Golly, you're telling me. I think that might be a little part of it, but...for some, nature becomes a necessity, I think.

[When your best friends in the world grow up without adult figures in their lives, you see nature winning out pretty well.]

[refusedtoleave]

[It takes a moment for that to sink in.]

...True. I can think of some children who managed well enough. I told you of my nephew, Battler. He left instead of living with his father due to circumstances… He’s more mature and a better man than his father.

[cyan_maid]

That's good for him, then. It's not easy to live on your own, but if it made him a better person, I'm glad for him.

[If only he changed his name to something not as stupid.]

[refusedtoleave]

[He would if could.]

His father is... I don't get along with his father, I agree with Battler's choice to leave after what he did...

[cyan_maid]

...

[She wants to ask if something happened, but...no, she'll respect Natsuhi's privacy.]

Mm. Then, it still stands that it was good for him.

[refusedtoleave]

Maybe so. I think I'd have preferred it if he didn’t have a reason to leave.

[It’s not even her privacy, she’s just gossiping now. She will quite happily whine about Rudolf.]

[cyan_maid]

Would it have helped things at home if he stayed?

[refusedtoleave]

No, at least I don't think it would. As much as his father wanted him to stay. There’d have only been more arguments if he’d stayed. I fully support him for it.

His father remarried too soon. I understand it was for Ange’s sake. But…

[cyan_maid]

A-Ah...yeah, that can be a note of contention, especially if it was very quick.

[refusedtoleave]

A few months...[Natsuhi looks around, then lowers her voice.] It was so Ange wouldn't be born out of wedlock. She’s a sweet girl, but the circumstances...

[cyan_maid]

[Eyebrows going way up on that one, and she lowers the volume of her voice.] So - was she only Battler's half sister?

[refusedtoleave]

[For once in her life Natsuhi can be the sterotype housewife!]

Yes, that's right? Her mother was already-umm... Before Battler#s mother passed...

[She's pretty bad at gossiping, and ducks her head. She misses Asumu.]
