The twins may have incredible good looks, but they're clumsy as hell when they actually try to be seductive. It just turns into a huge mess as soon as they make any effort.

For example, Laika is at her most charming when she's still half asleep and getting ready for the day.

"Zep. We should get back into horse racing."

"...Zep, we need to get girlfriends. ...Or boyfriends. I don't really care. We've just been single for two long."

"...Lai, that would require us to properly meet new people."

"...Zep, none of these people even have abs. I haven't seen a single actual washboard stomach here yet."

harmful member of this family, and despite all the claims of accepting her faults she never actually takes accountability for them.

So Laika's leaving, and dragging Zephyr out with her. They'll make sure not to get in the way of the nurses doing their jobs, but Reina isn't somebody worth trying to-

"Wendy is somebody who was nearly murdered, and you forgave the one who tried to do it."

Laika has no respect for Reina. She wanted to try making up for the old days when she heard that Reina was in the hospital, but now? Now she sees that Reina was never worth the fuss. She's the second most-

Her! And for the briefest moments, Celia showed me what I wanted for so long...

And if I can't have family... What the fuck even am I anymore!"

That was a disturbing blow up from Reina as she just collapsed on her bed and... She is flatlining!? What's going on with her!?

...Yeah, Zephyr's not going to push his luck and interrupt again after that bomb.

sister you supposedly saw as an idol doesn't want anything else to do with you. Because no matter how much damage you do, you still insist on dodging all responsibility and getting your way anyway. ...You know why Lavinia isn't giving you another chance? It's because even without the brainwashing-

"Vulgar-"

And gross. But Laika's lecture is continuing.

"They just recognize that you're an insufferable bitch who will drop that kind of emotional blackmail if you-

Well guess what? You're proving exactly why, unlike you, some people are willing to put their foot down and-

Oh. No nicknames. Laika's genuinely fed up if she's not playing around with nicknames.

"wouldn't hate your guts if you ever actually listened to anybody you weren't fucking or wanting to fuck."

...Low blow-

"You've already been told what her compromise is, Re-"

SMACK!
...Zephyr didn't even finish his sentence before Laika straight up slapped Reina across the face.

"Get over yourself, spoiled little bitch. Nobody listens to you? Well why the hell would they when you don't listen to them? Lavinia and-

mentally ill person doing this on purpose just to make their lives a living hell!

...If she is truly serious about this, she'd make some sort of compromise. And I'd be out of her hair."

Double Trouble Kingchesters @twinkingchesters.bsky.social · Jul 4

Lavinia gave her condition already. She's not leaving room for negotiation anymore. I'm sorry, but you won't be given a chance to talk to her again. She wouldn't agree to it even if we were the ones to suggest it. She wants nothing to do with anything Kingchester anymore."

Double Trouble Kingchesters @twinkingchesters.bsky.social · Jul 4

...Laika looks like she's about to punt Reina out the window.

"Zep, gimme your newspaper."

"...I don't just keep a newspaper on hand."

"Dammit. Find me a magazine, then. I need to roll something up and smack Pipsqueak."

Zephyr's just going to sigh and take over for a while.

"Reina, listen.-

...I know I am a stubborn asshole. I am just..."

She is biting her lip.

"I know she shuts herself off a lot from others. And I know this family can be fucked. But am I truly a horrible person if I can't at least try to ease Moms mind in the afterlife?"

can see why the other siblings butt heads with her so much.

But as much as the twins have been disappointed in Reina, they were still the ones to go talk to Lavinia.

Double Trouble Kingchesters @twinkingchesters.bsky.social · Jul 4

"...Hate to break it to you, Pipsqueak. But I'm pretty sure this right now is the sign that you already used your last chance. Kinda too late to be asking for another last chance."

The twins can certainly agree that talking to Reina feels like talking to a particularly thick wall sometimes. They-

chance."

She is still tearing up and shivering a bit.

"...Yes, this family is fucked... but I want to try and bring it back to what it once was or even better... Before Dad ruined it all."

She does have clear motivations beyond running away and wanting to defeat him one day at least.

making people decide to leave, despite how much you supposedly want a connected family."

Double Trouble Kingchesters @twinkingchesters.bsky.social · Jul 4

we're getting on with our lives. It's not that we don't care about her. We're just remembering that life is for the living. It would be great if we could all get along! But... If somebody is ready to leave the family behind, then we have to respect that. Even if it sucks. ...And you've been the one-

"...Pipsqueak. Mom's been gone a long time now. And..."

Looks like Laika's actually hesitant to say this, but... Eventually she gets it out.

"You were the closest to her. You were the one taken along to the island that day. Not the rest of us. The rest of us just... We've done our mourning and-

Double Trouble Kingchesters @twinkingchesters.bsky.social · Jul 4

There's a sigh, and Laika ruffling Reina's hair... A bit too roughly, though.

"You have to let go if she's decided that she's done with us, Pipsqueak. If you try to force her to stay, then you are making it all about you. You're just trying to make what you want happen, even if it's what she-

so I just stayed put but..."

She was shaking her head.

"....Look... It's about /us/. Not me."

not medically fit to be trusted with Pokemon right now."

And now back to Laika with blunt facts.

"Besides, how are you going to afford a lawyer anyway? I doubt you can even afford this hospital bill. Plus, Lavinia is giving you an easy way out. You're the one threatening a lawsuit that would make-
