Any headcanons about what would happen if the dad's got sick or injured?.
I'll try to answer you as if you asked me "how would the kids react if...?" bc the specific scenario might vary. I also crossed out "chronic" situations, I felt more creative thinking about sudden scenes (like a D-Wheel crash, or passing out on the floor for no apparent reason, etc):
- Kaori would panic. She'd have trouble choosing what to do next. Her type of power (empathy) is counterproductive in these situations. She needs help (thankfully her brother is usually around)
- Hikaru would panic too, but he'd stay strong and do something helpful (he's a talented duelist who can think fast and effectively).
- Takahiro wouldn't even process the panic, he'd straight up think of a solution. Where do I bring dad? Should I tell mom? Who can help us? (thanks to Jack being often absent, he forcefully became the responsible man of the house)
- Rikiya would use sarcasm here and there to cover up his panic (it's worse than Kaori's). He wouldn't be the one able to make a plan of action, but he'd follow instructions if somebody else is there. (Please don't laugh at him, he'll do better one day)
- Risa would panic too, then get mad. She's too young to hold any responsibility of whatever follows anyway
-Kenichi would do everything a responsible adult would do. He can deal with the inner fright like a champ (he'd let emotions hit him once the storm is gone)
- Claire, oh Claire would unleash all of her inner emotions. She'd yell and do very ineffective things at first, but 1 out of 10 of all her actions would be actual good decisions. She can save the day, she'd just waste a lot of energy and time in the process
- Elaina would be forced to break her facade. She acts like a child prodigy, but she's still a kid, a kid with very low control of her inner emotions. And yet, she's also the only one who can think of the *best* solution humanly achievable. You still need her on the team
- The respective wives would intervene later and handle the situations like the responsible adults they became. Aki and Sherry would hide their pain from their children. But Ken would sense Sherry's pain, just like Kaori would feel her mother's pain. Kaori and Aki are so similar on this side, they give strength to each other. Only Carly would basically use Taka as a shoulder to cry on (I believe this marriage is slightly dysfunctional lol Jack you're an idiot).
