So I read this post about adoption in Japan as it related to a few Sailor Moon characters, and then because I am writing HR, it gave me all sorts of insights into the Orphanage Gang from FFVIII. Mainly Squall and Ellone. All that stuff about how it's perfectly acceptable in Japanese culture to just leave your kid in the orphanage system and then expect them to still take care of you when you're old really makes sense now, with why the story writers would think it's completely okay to have Laguna just abandon his kids.
So now I finally have an answer to the question that spawned the idea for my fic, all those years ago when it first took root in my brain. Satisfying, I guess, but it also just makes me sad. =/
Thinky thoughts about video games, man.
