#kyrosa

A bit off topic, but I've always kind of theorized that the reason Rosa is so much younger, is because she wasn't really planned, and it might have been a way for Kinzo's wife to maybe try and keep Kinzo close when she was suspecting him of having a mistress (which he did.) 

Anyway, back on topic; So, Rosa's pretty mentally fucked up. I have such complicated feelings towards her because she is SUCH a problematic person, but she is so well written, I can't help but appreciate how realistically she is handled. (and to be fair, no one in this family is really "OK." lol. That cycle of abuse messing all of them up.) 

Kyrie's very level headed and perceptive, and she gets what she wants. She's definitely the mom who gets the least development out of the four, but there's still a lot there to delve into and think about, especially when we learn about her history with Asumu and Rudolf. She's a very jealous woman, and also, honestly, very possessive. But again, she's smart. And this leads into me bringing up how Rosa's actually very smart too. Eva's only able to solve the riddle in EP3 thanks to Rosa's hint, and we see Rosa solved it herself very soon after. 

Rosa has so much pent up resentment and rage, and unleashes it in very unhealthy ways, and Kyrie kind of does too (specifically towards Asumu), but is much better at keeping it hidden and under control. She's good at reading people and crafty in steering situations in certain directions in her favor (ex: remember the conversation where she talks about her and Rosa having coffee some time. While the scene itself is nice and considerate on the surface, in the same moment, she and Rosa talked about how parents don't get to choose their children and vice versa, and soon after, Kyrie makes a comment about how the rain is about to start or something, and that's when Rosa runs out to find Maria and then Kyrie is to the rest of the adults "Don't worry about it, let's continue the discussion" (AFTER Rosa had said something about how she didn't want to leave the room because then they all might try to not give her any say in the whole thing going on about money and whatnot) 

Sorry if that was rambly and hard to understand if you don't remember exactly what scene I'm talking about, it's been a while since I've read it 

I like that scene a lot and use it often for my kyrosa agenda because it is nice and shows how they do overall get along quite well compared to a lot of the rest of the adults, but it also has an underlying implication and vibe of slight manipulation on Kyrie's part. 

I'm gonna go ahead and wrap this up for the time being, now, though, before I keep rambling on and on, lol. 

They have such a potentially interesting dynamic that I really wish we got to see more of. (I also just remembered an old post I made about them in the EP3 manga a few years ago, remind me to link that later, send me another ask!) When it comes right down to it, Rosa just really wants someone to love her and not leave and help with raising a child, and Kyrie can provide that. Again, with the VN only scene, we never really see Kyrie talk to any of the other adults like that about wanting to spend time together off the island, so it's just fun to think about. They're both actually very smart and willing to do what it takes to get what they want. I've joked before about how Kyrie's not playable in the Ougon fighting game because then she and Rosa would be too powerful together lol. (And I stand by that). 

TL;DR: I think they could be very good for each other and balance each other out with their flaws and kind of meet an equilibrium (Kyrie helps ease a lot of Rosa's concerns and help her anger issues, Rosa gives all her attention to Kyrie without any threat of cheating on her or flirting with other people at the same time) (in other words, they could POTENTIALLY be kind of healthy together and communicate properly), but I could also see them making each other much worse, idk. 

This got really rambly and long, sorry if it's everywhere and not super organized,,, cries
