[she gasps]

Maybe making us realize that was the whole point of this class!

[amain]

... Have you seen some disastrously things happen to heterosexual pairs, Lila?

[ oh no ]

[wtfox]

[she nods]

Mmhm. I have.

[amain]

May I ask what happened to them?

[wtfox]

Well it's, like... I don't know if they really count as a pair, exactly? Because they're not official or anything.

But there's a girl in my class who really, really likes this guy, and it seems like every time another girl talks to him, she gets really jealous and someone gets hurt.

[amain]

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MIRACULOUS LADYBUG? ]

That's... You're not saying...

[ yandere? ]

[wtfox]

[looks at miraculous ladybug and laughs brokenly]

Oh, no, I'm sure she doesn't do it on purpose or anything! But I mentioned things get dangerous sometimes, right? Because of the akumas? They're drawn to people with really strong negative emotions.

So sometimes she makes people upset while she's trying to get close to him, and then the next thing you know, there's a supervillain...

[amain]

[ oh, i don't know if this is better or worse? ]

... Akumas are supervillains?

[ He understood the Akumas are drawn to negative emotions, but everything else he's 6_9. ]

[wtfox]

They turn people into them. An akuma is drawn to someone who's really upset, and it infests an important item of theirs. Then they transform into a supervillain and they usually have some kind of power related to what made them upset.

Hawkmoth is the one who controls all the akumas, though.

[amain]

[ ... What the fuck?? ]

That's horrible. It's not like you can control people's emotions, either.

[ SO MANY SUPERVILLAINS? POSSIBLY? ]

[wtfox]

Yeah, it's pretty rough.

[a beat.]

There are, like, huge waiting lists for anger management classes these days, too. People are trying, but...

[amain]

... There are classes for that?

[ Wow. What? First therapy, now this? ]

[wtfox]

[?]

Yeah, of course.

[amain]

I guess that would make sense considering how your world works... We don't have things like akumas where I live.

So... People just deal with their anger on their own.

[wtfox]

...does that work out for you guys...?

[amain]

[ ... ]

I guess... Not. I've seen couples argue all the time or cheat on each other.

[wtfox]

...I mean, you see that even in my world, too.

[...]

It's strange. I can't even begin to imagine someone mattering to me that much, and then doing something like that to them.

[amain]

I can't imagine it, either... I know people have different lifestyles, but that isn't for me.

[ Uhm. ]

Then again, I don't have much time for a relationship in the first place.

[wtfox]

No?

[she looks up, curious]

But even without a relationship, you must have people who matter to you, right?

[amain]

Yeah, of course. I had a little sister to care for, so...

[ No time back then. ]

[wtfox]

Oh, what's your little sister like? I don't have any siblings! I kind of wish I did, though, it would've been nice to have someone around when Mom was busy with work...

[amain]

Being an only child sounds rough... At least you probably have a lot of friends?

[ Lila is bright, so he assumes she's popular. ]

She's bright, curious, and caring. Quite the talker, too. If she's really interested in the topic, she'd talk nonstop? Sometimes I wonder how the other villagers were able to keep their ears. Really, she's not afraid to live her life. [ Hmm. ] She loves books, especially storybooks or books about flowers. Unfortunately, she'd read something in a book and sometimes try to look for it herself... It'd put me in a good panic.

[wtfox]

Mhm! I like meeting new people, so I try to make lots of friends whenever we move around for my mom's work.

[she smiles]

Your sister sounds like a really nice person! And I'm sure you worried about her, but that kind of curiosity is a good thing, right? It's good to be involved with the world. She's lucky to have you looking out for her, though!

[amain]

... Yeah, it's usually a good thing, but she's been ill for a while. She should be resting.

[ Sickly sister. Imagine sickly sister running off and not telling you. ]

You have to move often?

[ oh there's concern there ]

[wtfox]

Oh, no! I didn't realize... I hope she gets better soon.

[and then she nods at that.]

Mmhm. My mom is a diplomat, so she's sent from country to country for her work, to represent Italy. Right now she's stationed in Paris, so that's where I was living before all of this, but we've lived all over the world.
