Isn't it easy? First ya tell 'em off. If they don't listen, then ya gotta beat it into them. And after that, the only way to make them stop is to get rid of them entirely.

I couldn't have summed it up any better.

Glad ya at least agree on that, granny. Just talking sense into people over and over stops being 'kay to put up with after a while.

I'm a little less tolerant than the kiddo.

Ya tell me. Someone could do whatever they want to him and he'd probably somehow still try to be friends with 'em. Totally naive, he's a danger to himself!

You're telling me that. I'm kind of ashamed he's not more careful...it makes me look bad.

Nah, not like you're the one who taught him all that stuff, right? Ya had no idea how he'd turn out!

Maybe we should toughen him up a bit. What do you say, kiddo?

.. How are ya planning to do that? [ After all, it's not like she actually wants Natsume to get hurt.. ]

We sit him down and talk his ears off. He'll be so embarrassed he'll never want to go running off into danger again.

[Reiko wouldn't hurt the kid. But trolling him...]

Ya really think something like that'll work? I mean, it's not like he'll just stop, and even if he would, I bet danger would somehow just find him.

Probably not but it's worth a shot, right?

.. I guess. [ She sighs. ] The more that guy's out of danger, the better. Or he should at least let other people help for once.

He's got a few people backing him. He should let them help once in a while.

But he doesn't, that's the annoying part!

[ She's offered to help him so many times. So many times, and.. yet, he's never let her. He always turns her away, saying that she can't help if she can't see them. Kyouko understands the logic in it, but it still annoys her. She wants to protect him, after all. ]

He needs an intervention.

[The sad part...both of them probably would let Takashi help them. Oh, the tsun..]

Do ya really think it's gonna make him let other people help him? I already gave up on it, really..

Not really but I'm really the most stubborn person. I can't help myself.

Well, maybe if you'll keep insisting then maybe he'll listen in the end.. you're his family, after all. I'm just someone he knows on here.

Don't remind me. I like Takashi a lot but it's still weird to think that I have a relative that actually wants to talk to me.

[ .. wait, what? That isn't something Kyouko knew about.. ]

What do ya mean? Your family doesn't talk to ya?

I really never knew my parents.

[They either left or died. She's not sure which. Her sensibilities say that they left her but she can't prove it.] My distant relatives don't keep in touch. I live with some old neighbors.

Geez, that sounds crappy! Why would you not even know your own parents, family's meant to stick together!

[ Even if it ended up.. slightly.. bad.. in her own case.. ]

Don't really know. The family I'm with really doesn't want to talk about it.

Then force 'em to talk, or find something that tells you, or.. ya can't just be okay with it and move on!
