Hi everybody,
I am wondering what your thoughts on the relationship between Kat and Anja are. During the last few panels, Kat has been continually surprised by a) the magic/etherical science discussion, b) the flowing symbol program, and now c) the tattoo thing.
How can all of this be news to her? Why did her mother not bother to tell her about the magic/etherical science discussion at the court, or about her coding skills, and so on? Why now discuss this in front of Antimony?
I find this a rather strange behaviour -.-
Phil

Well I think she's like most kids at that age, your parents are separate from you and you just don't ask about them, what they do etc. Kat's busy enough with her own science projects that I don't think it occurred to her to really question what Anja does.

Kids that age are selfish and absorbed in their own little worlds, they don't care about what their parents did way back when. It's when those kids grow up and get families of their own that they ever start listening to their parents' experiences, or they face reality, like Antimony. Notice Antimony doesn't have any parents to ask these questions anymore, so she's very attentive to both her parents' and the other adults' histories when they are explained. I bet if it was Kat in her position, she would be very interested as well, albeit in a more scientific way.  |

At Kat's current age, it isn't that she doesn't CARE about what her parents did way back when. It's more that she doesn't yet realize they HAD a "way back when". She probably hasn't even realized that her parents had sex at least once. And yes, her parents are science teachers, but as such they have that magical schoolteacher ability to make ANYTHING boring. To discover that a science-teacher parent is a technogeek... quite a shock. |
