A father and his 2 homosexual sons making latkes. Love to see it.
He is stone cold, and he is logical and soul crushing, and for a long time, we did not see eye to eye, yet through it all, I'm actually very fortunate, and very grateful to have an amazing dad.
Them parentals.
What’re the girl’s parents like?
Momnika, also called Cee (short for Cecilia), is very much a party girl, and also VERY attached to her husband. She "respects Monika's independence" and doesn't want to interfere in her life without being asked to by her daughter.
Monika's dad, Ben, is a stoic, short man with an otherwise nondescript brown-haired appearance who has a job as a programmer for some tech company or another.
The Minika makes an audible noise that Monika herself knows that only Sayori would get out of her from that, rubbing at her forehead gingerly.
"Mmmph, fiiiiiiine. And yeah, I can tell." This time, Minika pulls herself back in for a tight hug. "Well, if it means anything to you, I can forgive you. I know I have a lot to fix and probably some therapy ahead of me, but if it means the girls will be okay? It'll all be okay, in the end. We'll be okay, in the end." Squeeeeeeeeze.
"Mmmph, I know it's probably weird to say this to myself and let alone to the self I'm headed for, but I love you. For your kindness and understanding and willingness to help even me. Well, you?" Pat, pat. "Did-? Did you get to go forward like this and get helped? Or am I the first in this chain-?" She looks up, realizing the magnitude this might have for slight changes in both of their lives, if the latter.
"...Well. All things considered, I don't remember doing this?" Monika shrugs. "I... try not to mess with time, a lot? It seems like it might be kind of dangerous? But, hey, if there's time police, maybe they erase your memories. Who knows? I just hope you remember being encouraged to push past everything in your head that hates you." She happily accepts all the hugging, continuing to gently rub her back.
["Time is just another variable." A phantom of their father says, off in a penthouse somewhere.]
"Because... I love you, too, Monika. You're going to break through this and fix everything. I believe in you. And I forgive you, too." Maybe not herself, yet, but... this sad, guilty young woman in front of her deserves forgiveness for not knowing the magnitude of her mistake.
"...Mind if I give you a mildly selfish piece of advice?"
“Oh my god. Fine.”
He gave him a glare then returned to where he stood before the time stop
"Thank you." He speaks his clicks again, and time resumes. "Cee, would you like to lead the way to the spa?"
"I'd love to, dear~!" The tall woman hooks her arm through Ben's, and begins leading him off. "Care to join us in the elevator, Wool?"
“Overbearing? You aren’t even underbearing, dude, she isn’t happy about that! You don’t need to control or something, you need only be a guide, just help her. Being all distant isn’t going to do any favors for you or for Monika. Just be more involved in her life, please? If not for me then do it for her sake, be her dad, not just her father”
"If she desires it, she will ask." Ben nods. "Please return to your original position."
“Cool.”
He started walking before stopping and turning to him
“I dunno if you can, but get Cecilia to say hi more often, visit, ask about her life, shit like that. Mon says you’re both largely absent and I’m telling you now, that tells me you’re both awful. Please, prove me wrong. See ya”
He stepped into the elevator and pushed a button to go to the floor level
"...Time has not resumed, you may wish to return to your original position and take the elevator with us." Ben moves roughly back into place, from when time was stopped. "...I am proud of Monika being as independent as she is. I see no need to interfere in her life beyond her own desires to be in contact with us."
"She and her mother are not on the best of terms, I am aware. We both simply desire for her to grow without us being an overbearing influence."
“So it’s more of a collective, then. How would I piss it off? My hopping into this realm doesn’t draw any attention, does it?”
"Not any attention worth concern, though our collective is now more directly aware of your presence as of me logging a potential threat. I can erase that information, once you leave."
