castelleve said: :3c A QUESTION. How was Kanou when he was younger? What was his relationship with his parents, did he get along with them, even if he may not have loved them? Was he spoiled as a child? Any siblings? Any childhood acquaintances that he's kept over the years? Are his interpersonal relationships rocky/unstable? Does he have many? Outside of use, is there anyone he keeps in contact with just because he enjoys their presence? ima cut this off here cause of the character limit gfdgvrfdhgt
Kanou in his youth was an extremely intelligent and curious child. Everything he saw, he would inquire about; where plants came from, what bugs do, how certain creatures do certain things while others couldn’t. His parents however, were extremely busy. His father, Takahiro Kisaragi, was up-til-then, the working CEO of Kisaragi Pharmaceuticals, having taken over his own father’s position, the same man who founded the company. With Kanou’s birth, it was more or less determined he was going to take over when he was of age, and with how much of a prodigal genius he was, his parents figured he’d usher the right kind of change into the world. The only issue was, he didn’t have much affection. His mother was stern and his father was rarely there, and a lot of his time consisted of tutoring, practice of the arts, and a whole lot of shit that kept him eternally busy. As he grew up, he compared his family to that of other’s and began to notice there was a huge difference in how they behaved compared to norm. For example, they never ate dinner together, were usually in separate rooms and his birthdays, although grandiose, would only really have his parents there in small times here and there. Overall though, he did get along with them, but they did clash more as he was older. It was ultimately the reason why he poisoned his own father.
He was spoiled though, it was more so though he was spoiled as a reward for doing well. Any high grade marks, any compliments he received from his teachers almost always yielded a reward. Also the fact he was the only child also added to his spoiling.
He had friends here and there, but he’d lose touch with them whenever they no longer had anything in common. As he was older though, he kept friends around for more superficial means-- it showed he was popular and helped with his appearance, but otherwise he didn’t care for any of them.
The only meaningful relationships he’s actually had are with his former college girlfriend, their college classmate, and with Watanabe. Everyone else, he lies to them flawlessly and many of them think they’re his good buddies, whereas he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about them.
But unfortunately, one is dead, one he barely speaks to, and the other is the closest to meaningful in the present as she holds his entire schedule in her hands.
His college classmate though, he keeps around because he’s amused by him. He’s a dumb ass ‘hick’ and seeing their stark difference is something Kanou always like to observe. Also, as a freebie.
