Silence..

Peaceful silence to this regular evening..

Nothing out of the ordinary of the sort for these two, Tai and Jitu.

Just a regular, simple, normal evening like any other day..

or at least..they assumed..

While Tai was listening to his sister Jitu simply chatting away as she does, Tai noticed something in the corner of his eye.

Noticing a rather familiar face walking by..Carolyn..

What were they doing out here?, and all alone by themselves?, and during this time of evening?

His sister also seemed to take notice of Carolyn as well, upon noticing that he was looking at something, someone of course.

She too also had the same thoughts of what Carolyn was doing out here alone.

With wonder and such, the twins called out to them, getting their attention as Carolyn tensed up for a brief second to hearing the familiar voices of the twins.

Carolyn stopped walking to just turn their head to the direction where the twins stood a few feet away from them.

Carolyn could feel the familiar fluttery feeling in their chest to just looking at them, they have developed a thing for the two but..do they even feel the same way like they do?

As much as Carolyn wishes to go over to them and spend some bit of time like they sometimes would have, but from the thoughts going in their head- Carolyn decided not to this time..

Their face seemed to furrow a bit with whatever was going on in their head, turning away from them as Carolyn resumed walking..walking away..from them..

Not bothering to look back or stop again, it’s not like they want them around anyways, isn’t it?

Heck- Carolyn can’t even have the slightest bit of confidence to say at least SOMETHING of how they felt towards them..but they won’t return their feelings back anyways..

Upon seeing Carolyn walking away from them, Tai and Jitu were puzzled yet taken aback slightly to this.

This was different, Carolyn never walked away from them once before, they usually would seem to want their company if Carolyn felt anxious or something of the sort.

but this was unlike them to just walk away and everything..

Neither of them seemed to have any clue what could be going on their head, but they’d be lying if they’d didn’t admit having the slightest bit of concern towards Carolyn.

Exchanging looks to each other then back at the direction where Carolyn left, pondering to themselves of what they should do.

More specifically pondering where Carolyn was even heading off to..

..Where were they going..?

"Sorry interesting twins. But YOU BOTH BETRAYED ME FIRST."

I think it's interesting that, out of the many delightfulized groups, the DC are the only group of children that Father actually claims as his own-- the Interesting Twins and Rowdy Hooligans don't live with him, and I think it's interpret-able from the way both of them talk about him whether or not they consider him their Father, or if he's just their boss. It's really making me look at Father as an embodiment of an abusive, selfish parent in a whole new light, in that perhaps the Twins and Hooligans represent the way some fathers have children that they either don't claim as their own or abandon for one reason or another.

Father says that the DC are his "perfect" delightful children, made from his original machine, but we don't ever see him mention any other attempts or children other than them. We know he must have done some experimentation, given how many delightfulization machines we see over the course of the series; it's probably his life's work that the DC were a culmination of, so.... where is all of his previous work? Whether he "made" the IT and RH before or after would probably give us some insight into his view of the DC-- maybe they weren't as effective as he had hoped and kept trying, or maybe his first few attempts before the DC weren't as driven or disciplined as he wanted. Either way, though, it doesn't help that both the IT and RH are never seen with parents and are conveniently not in America where the DC and people that know Father might see them. The two groups definitely strike me as being either too prone to failure (IT) or not willing to hold grudges enough (RH) for Father to accept-- probably seeing them as failed experiments that he distanced himself from. But honestly that's just the beginning of my questions. Do they even know about each other? What if they all think they're Father's only real kids, with Father maintaining a separate lie for all three? And, barring that, who were either group before?? We know the Delightful Children are Sector Z, but who were the Twins before? Who were the Hooligans before? Were they all KND, or was that where Father went wrong? Did he kidnap regular kids and expect them to be just as tactical and strong as Sector Z was (no doubt giving his machine too much credit for their efficacy) and thus abandoned them when they couldn't perform?
