Family worries

Apr 06, 2010 08:34

Things have been troublesome lately thanks to the recent circumstances regarding my baby sister. And as a result, I've also been learning that Kaasan feels really guilty about what happened to Namari. Because she never noticed anything wrong and now she's beating herself up over it. To the point that it's affecting her work, and she was sent home ( Read more... )

Someone...
... I see. So long as Namari is safe and you are happy, there is little I can say to that. Though I wonder myself who could have done that.

iron_strength April 6 2010, 23:34:20 UTC

It was probably one of my friends or one of your friends. Shinji says he didn't do it though. And I get the feeling it wasn't anyone else in Fudoumine because of the same reason. My neighbors would recognize them, and none of them have mentioned the police coming to find them.
But even saying that, I still know a few people that would and could do something like that on my side. I'm sure you can think of a few on your side also that are that way.

Perhaps our family aren't the only family they angered?

Yes... I can think of one or two people who would do something like this. Whether they would admit to it or not, I do not know.

iron_strength April 7 2010, 00:48:17 UTC

I imagine it's very possible that they have. It's not like they have any problems with hurting people, even small children. ...There's no telling who else they've wronged besides us.

I wish I did know who it was so I could thank them more properly.

I'd wanted to do what those guys did. But they'd know me and I would have just gotten into a lot of trouble. So I'm glad someone was nice enough to kick their asses where we couldn't.

And it's good you're really thinking about moving. I... would like to come and see those apartments, they might be good enough for the girls too.

iron_strength April 7 2010, 00:30:23 UTC

I know you did. I'm pretty sure all the guys from Fudoumine were fighting mad enough to want to do it. Or so I could assume from the angry cursing and threats to kill they all did over the phone when I was telling them the situation. And while I really do appreciate it, knowing all of you would want to commit homicide on the behalf of me and my family, I wouldn't have wanted them pointing a finger and having you thrown in jail because of it. Though even after explaining this to Masaya, I spent a good hour talking him out of trying to do anything. And even after that, he kept calling back and asking if I'd changed my mind yet.But it's been handled for us now, so we can all feel a bit better. And no one got in trouble at all ( ... )

I would have happily killed them and disposed of the bodies, not just beat them up. If I didn't have my own sisters to look after. And if I could get away with them finding out it was me so you and your family couldn't be implicated and accused. But there's no point in worrying or thinking about that now since someone took it into their own hands to do what we couldn't do. I'd like to thank them myself. Really? That's surprising. I thought I was the more violent member of the team. I think I need to up my game........ even though the team is sort of disbanded now.....

I talked to the others about it and... I had intended to bring the girls along, only An-chan jumped the gun and offered to take them somewhere, which they liked the idea of, so I'll be coming alone. If it looks good though I'll bring them with me the next day so they can look themselves.

I know that too. And I wasn't exaggerating. I know what you guys will do for me and my own. And I really do appreciate that. But I wouldn't want any of you to get arrested because of us. Namari wouldn't want it either. She'd cry if that happened to you, and you know it. She'd cry if that happened to any of her nii-sans. ...But she knows what happened to the neighbors. And she knows that she might be the reason why it happened. Which upsets her, of course, but I think...if we end up finding out who did this for us, she might want to thank them too. I saw this relieved look that came over her when I told her about the neighbors. Best friend reflex? I know Masaya's usually more rational-minded, but I think we both bring out the worst in each other when it comes to protectiveness. ...So you can stop feeling like your title is threatened and thinking of ways to improve on it.Alright. That's fine. I know Namari will be disappointed that they won't be with you when we meet up, but she'll be okay, and I'm sure the fact we'll be checking the ( ... )

Usually I would say no to hurting other people.But they deserved it...They really did.

You're a good brother and Son~ I hope you know that. I guess you really should try and find a better place to love. I'm sure they're are plenty of places, don't know how affordable they'll be but looking and searching never hurts. ^^

iron_strength April 7 2010, 10:42:24 UTC

Still upset that I couldn't do it myself and defend my sister. But someone accomplished the task when I couldn't, so I do feel both relieved and thankful for them. I know Namari does too, even if she tries to hide it ( ... )

graciousann April 7 2010, 17:05:17 UTC

If you had done that then there could have been more problems. It's not like they would stay quiet after that. You could have put in more danger your family.

Ishida-kun, you didn't even know those things were happening~ You wouldn't have allowed this to happen if you knew. So don't blame yourself.

You know, as they say Home is where the heart is. If you can be somewhere where you can be together as a family and be happy that's all that matters.

iron_strength April 8 2010, 00:29:12 UTC

True... Which is one of the reasons I'm glad I didn't follow through with how I felt. But I still feel guilty for holding back and letting someone else do the work instead. What if someone hadn't helped? They probably would still be treating other people awful if it hadn't happened. All because I chose to hold back.

But I should've known! I shouldn't have trusted my neighbors enough to leave Namari with them when I knew they weren't good people! It's my fault for ignoring it! I could've prevented it...

It is. And that's all that matters to me. So long as they're happy and safe, I don't care where we are.

I offered, so of course I'll take you. It is a nice place. If you can look past the shabbiness of the building, that is. The interior's pretty homey though. Location's good too. Walking distance to school, a bus ride away to the hospital, a number of combini nearby... The residents are mostly families re-locating to Tokyo from other prefectures, and some are university students and employees who didn't like living in the heart of the city. They can be eccentric, from the different backgrounds, I guess, but their hearts are in the right place. I can vouch for that. Ah, and the landlord's a retired policeman and a good friend of my uncle's. Hmm... I guess everything else you can see for yourself.

I'd offer to take you this afternoon, after visiting Sengoku and Dan-kun, but... since you're planning on taking Namari-chan and Ibu-kun and his sisters to see the place, how about this weekend? It might be easier for the girls with school out.

........And believe me when I say I respect the gravity of the thought behind this post. But, Tetsu ( ... )

iron_strength April 7 2010, 11:57:06 UTC

...So you have told me. ...Which is why I want to see it for myself and find out if it's as good as you insist it is. Because I can't be too sure. And while someone might think everything is okay, it could end up being awful in the end.

This weekend is fine. Shinji won't be bringing his sisters, but I'll still be bringing Namari to check things out.
...
...But thank you for helping us with this.

...Well, it's true. It doesn't take into consideration the plight of those who choose to be hair-free.

kokuhatsu April 7 2010, 14:00:10 UTC

Hm, true. I may be just biased, the landlord being a family friend... Well, you know what's best for your family, Tetsu-kun. I'm just here doing what I can to help.

....I'm sorry. Still cracking up.... Ahem. ...So, what exactly does hair-free people do to indicate they're stressed out?

iron_strength April 8 2010, 00:15:16 UTC

I'm sure anything will be better than where me and my family are right now, but I shouldn't be too quick to accept something without knowing all the facts and seeing things for myself. But I'll be keeping that in mind with all the places we'll be checking, not just the apartments you'll be taking us to.

A lot of scalp scratching. ...And as you might've noticed over the course of the tournament, I also tend to grind the heel of my palm into my forehead a lot when I get frustrated or stressed out over something or someone.
