#da02tb

Ok so I just read the audio drama translations [so spoilers for it up ahead] and I have to say that while it was fun to read, the one thing i was slightly unhappy about was the confirmation that Ukkomon actually *killed* Rui's parents. Like, I know most people assumed that based on what I've seen people say on social media abt 02TB, but I personally had assumed from the beginning that Rui's parents' collapse when Ukkomon stopped puppeting them was a sign that they went unconscious, and that the reason Rui was sent to some relatives was because of family drama or something akin to that. This was mostly because I felt like the 02 group wouldn't've spoken about Rui's backstory in the almost somewhat callous way they did if Rui's parents literally died from the puppeting, so now that there's undeniable confirmation Rui's parents legit died, I'm a little bit more conflicted about the 02TB story as a whole. It doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the movie, I just wanted to get this off my chest since it does bother me a little, if I'm being honest.
