My little brain enjoying the characters I have made up, even though I won’t write them at this age and stuff. The second ‘Scratch’ child is born in March 2026, they get a reputation as being the weird kid pretty quick. I love the idea that like Mami they can’t/don’t lie which means there are interactions like this:
Kid: I didn’t think you had any siblings
Scratch kid #2: I didn’t know him, but I had a brother. He died when he was six.
Kid: omg! I didn’t know that, that’s horrible, was it an accident or..?
Scratch kid #2: No, he probably had TB
Kid:… I didn’t think people got that anymore. Did you meet him, like were you a baby when he died- how many years are there between you…?
Scratch kid #2: Oh no, I was born a lot later, Mama was a bit older when they had me. I think it’s a difference of… 267 years.
Kid: *frozen in total confusion*… wait, what?
