59th Journey

Huh, compared to most people here, I’ll say I was lucky. My parents are far from perfect, but they aren’t murderous psychos or evil megalomaniacs. They are both alive and in good health, in Tokyo: Nakajima Masashi and Nakajima Ritsuko

I believe you've answered your own question.

[reginagloriae]

Not really. I've answered for myself and maybe for you? I'm not sure what others will think. Each of us... we're different. I still can't let the tree-babies sink in.

[banditfox]

We're in the position of being able to answer from experience. I'm curious how many others in the City can say the same.

[reginagloriae]

Uhhuh. It's creepy in a way. Even we look alike with our hair and eyes, Kurama-san.

A foolish question. Family is what you make it to be.

Hey. What did you expect from a stupid, pigheaded girl but another foolish question, Moro-san?

I like that. It's an universal answer.

voice; and the first part startles Moro XD

[to_an_extreme]

... You may not be able to choose your parents, but you can choose your family.

[reginagloriae]

I know. We can also choose our place in this or any other world.

[turk_director]

"Family" are the people who accept you for who you really are.

Don't blame yourself. We all do the best we can under the circumstances.

[reginagloriae]

I blame myself because I didn't do my best, I did what it was easiest. It's not that I was a victim, but that I was a willing culprit.

[reginagloriae]

Acceptance. Yeah, I agree, I don't expect that, but I agree and I'll try my damnest this time.

[turk_director]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You were young.

Part of acceptance means learning to forgive. That includes forgiving yourself. I know it sounds trite but it may be the only way you'll be able to sleep at night.

Hnn... I can't really answer the question...

[reginagloriae]

You can pass this one.

[sulky_skullkey]

I thought as much...

So many people have families they don't like, it makes one wonder if it's worthwhile...

Voice

[reginagloriae]

...I love my parents. They are worth the trouble.

... I'm sure that, whatever may be, you'll find your own way, And there will be people who love you.
