...The bastard is still alive.

I mean, come on! Why the HELL DOES HE HAVE TO COME BACK NOW? IS EVERYONE WE'D RATHER AVOID COMING BACK AT THE SAME TIME? FIRST ALBEDO TURNS OUT TO BE ALIVE AND PERVERTED AND MESSES WITH MOMO AND NOW THAT FUCK!!

[Gaignun]

jr, calm down. screaming about it won't do anything to the fact that it's happened.

i think instead of being angry, right now we should be taking care of citrine. she needs us.

[Jr.]

...I know...

But she won't talk to me...

I don't know what to do for her, and it sucks... Am I a bad brother or what? Not only did I drive my twin brother insane, but now I can't even help my sister when she's feeling down.

Can't you fix it? You're usually good at this...

[Gaignun]

at this point, i'm afraid that if i went to her, i would make it harder on her. in her eyes, i represent a replacement of him, whether she admits it or not. she's never really liked that. it's the reason why you're my son, but she's my sister.

i want to help her, but she would only see me as gaignun kukai, the man who once offered to be her father in dmitri's place.....which was a terriable sin to her. she can't see me as atredo anymore.

i'll see if i can get ahold of jin.

[Mary]

citrine?

guys, what's wrong with citrine? is she alright....?

[Jr.]

Our biological father came back...gave us a surprise visit, which really pisses me off...

She's all torn up about it and won't talk to anyone. So we can't even tell WHY she's upset, which sucks.

Man, I just don't get it! Why now?

[Mary]

........
where is she right now? let me talk to her.... maybe she just needs another girl.....

[Gaignun]

her room.

i can understand part of why she's upset. she was devoted to our father and hated it when we never went back to the institute.

in that case, she should of been happy to see him, not sad.... even now, she thinks fondly of him.

granted there were some aspects of their relationship that i don't condone, and moreover, that she was deceived into accepting and doesn't truly understand. she's probably very confused right now and hurting because of it. as urtvs, we're more susceptible to emotional instabilities......hence why albedo was always a sociopath and i never truly got around to learning how to put expressions on my face. part of that emotional weakness makes her easily exploited and just plain confused by what she's been pushed into.

i don't even know......if what she thinks she feels, is what she really feels.

[Jr.]

^ How come that thing you're describing up there never happened to me?

[Gaignun]

it did. on the outside you look like a normal kid. on the inside you're punishing yourself by looking like a normal kid. as in, atonement for something you really don't need to atone for in the first place.

let's not forget that mentally, you never matured. no offence intended.

[Jr.]

That's okay. Growing up sucks anyways.

I forgive you.

[Jr.]

...But back on topic.

Is Yuriev really allowed to, uh...what's the word...invade our goddamn privacy and ruin our balanced family lifestyle NOW, after he had fourteen years to do it?

[Gaignun]

i know how you feel.

we'll just have to work hard to keep him away from the foundation from now on. especially away from citrine.

i would really like to help her myself, but i'm afraid i can't talk to her about it......and i had to stop myself at the last moment from calling in jin because, as i realised, i don't think she told him anything whatsoever about yuriev and he would be at a loss.

let's just let mary talk to her. girls relate better to other girls.

[Jr.]

But Mary doesn't know about all the weird crap in this sick family! How the hell would talking to her help?
