#honokacore

1) Honoka and Ryuji were taken out of the care of their abusive dad at the age of ten and put into a much happier and safer home.

2) Honoka has an interest mushrooms and fungi, many of which are known to be poisonous. *

Me:

(I know I established Ryuji and Honoka’s family life to be nothing but their dad, who was rarely around. And while I do stand by that, it’s not entirely true.

Or at least, the times he were around were far worse than the times when he wasn’t. I won’t go too much into detail, but it should be pretty easy to guess that he was a pretty wretched and abusive person.

And it was that behavior of his that resulted in the twins growing up with a desire to look out/protect each other.

While Ryuji’s a lot more open with his desire to keep his sister safe, he’s actually pretty unaware of just how strongly it is in the opposite direction; Honoka was usually the one to take the brunt of their father’s abuse as a kid (being the oldest of the two) and often hid it from her brother so as not to make him worry.

While she’s definitely not as open of a book as her brother, her determination to keep him safe from anything or anyone who wants to hurt him is a core part of who she is as a person. No matter what happens to her, she can handle anything so long as Ryuji stays safe and happy.

...Not the healthiest mindset in the world, but hopefully the two of them will be able to grow and heal from it in time. And to be fair, they were taken out of their father’s care at around ten, and put into a far safer and more welcoming home. So the healing process has already started.
