FIRST OF ALL. THE OBVIOUS

telling your barely teenaged daughter that she’ll eventually end up terribly hurting someone is really fucked up and i cannot think of any context in which that would be a reasonable thing to say

some of calypsos dialogue implies that some kind of incident occurred that ended up in someone else (VERY likely kyoko) getting hurt but AGAIN she was literally a child and it was definitely an accident. so even with that in mind i dont think her parents are justified. even if she was somehow at fault they shouldve taken the time to help her correct her behavior so that it didnt happen again instead of straight up telling her that it was, in fact, going to happen again

also she gave up her birth name in favor of her found father’s i feel like that says a lot

now. heres where i go heavy on the speculation

i do not believe for a second that the graves separating kyoko and brad was in good faith. thaniyel says that they didnt want brad to be a bad influence on kyoko, and that part i do believe. but it wasnt for her sake, it was for theirs. it was an attempt to control her rather than protect her.

and you may be saying “red wtf are you talking about theres no way youre able to come to this conclusion from dialogue that doesnt even really speak on their characters” and you would be right! because i am not only assuming this based on thaniyels dialogue!

calypso was really reckless (like brad), which i guess her parents didnt like because they cant raise a child for shit apparently. i can only assume that whatever incident happened was the last straw for them.

calypso seems to have left of her own accord, perhaps out of guilt, but that doesnt mean its impossible that mistreatment from her parents was also a factor in her leaving. clearly, calypso’s recklessness wasnt something they liked about her. and if thats true, they definitely didnt want the same from their other daughter.

so when they started seeing that kyoko was becoming more like brad-- more like calypso-- they decided to separate the two, because they didnt want history repeating itself. it was never about what was best for kyoko.
