Salutations, all new mothers and fathers!

I had no idea I'd set such a trend with my adoption! One day, you're the newest dad on the block, and the next, you're being chased through the courtyard by a toddler! What an adventure.

[Haha! Actually, Yuuya sounds nervous. Little humans can do a lot of damage!]

But of course I am a trendsetter here! Everybirdie is nesting now! A biological surprise if I've ever seen one! [Pssh!] This just goes to show you that even science is fallible in spooky magic kidnapper castles.

I'm sure you've all been wondering: "Oh, Mister Sakazaki, what can you tell us about this less than glamorous undertaking of parenthood?"

Unfortunately, if I'm honest - when am I not? - I know almost nothing about the care and keeping of small primates. It's hard luck - I'm afraid I haven't any advice to offer! I know you were all looking to me for the answers.

But perhaps - a playdate, maybe? Buddy needs exercise and I'd like it if she had more friends. Everyone needs friends.

We're in this together! Adieu, friends!

No, I don't believe so, Sister Esther.

I have to remember that! Especially seeing as it's difficult to explain how ...

Well, perhaps it's better this way. I certainly like to avoid conflict, myself!

[starhipped]

I suppose so! It might help people understand you, after all. If you think it might cause more conflict, however..

[whathedoves]

Sometimes it's better to keep quiet than hurt someone else, wouldn't you say?

There are some things I'd certainly rather not know!

[starhipped]

Maybe .. I think it's a tough situation.. It really depends on how well you know the other person and what it is you're keeping from them..

[whathedoves]

I'm sure you're right, Sister!

It's hard, though! Who can say who the best judge of that measure is?

[starhipped]

Yes, that is the problem, I think!

[whathedoves]

I believe this may be half the battle involved in being social creatures, don't you agree, Sister?

[starhipped]

Yes. In many of our interactions, we are doomed to hurt each other. But trying is definitely worth it!

[whathedoves]

Oh, always, Miss! I'm too tenacious to give up that easily!
