Someone finally tries to handle Imi's pron!trauma...

[justanimitator]

[Soooo, this one time, Imitator!Len actually did make it to the library [though he doesn't know who the 'librarian' is yet...] ...mostly because it was a combination of rainy and snowy out, and he didn't like what it did to his clothing or running back to the bus to change (again).

As he is standing by the shelves, trying to figure out how everything is sorted and what to look for, he notices a familiar face...]

Just... just...

Why? I don't understand why anyone would... do those horrible things...

[defender]

...a question I have often asked myself to no avail.

Some people do terrible things. Motivated by necessity, greed, revenge... thankfully, here in the dressing room, justice tends to overpower corruption.

[A hint of a blush, suddenly talking much more quickly.] As for normal sex I'm - told it's quite pleasurable - the practical purpose is for reproduction within the human race.

[justanimitator]

I'm glad.

I mean... I... it's good to be alive. And in the 'world', so I don't... um, understand hurting each other. Aren't they happy too?

.....

Sometimes, it didn't look like they were having f-- fun. But, I guess that's because it... wasn't like real, um, sex, right?

[blinkblinkblinks]

...Reproduction?

[defender]

It's.

How children are made.

[justanimitator]

...Um, 'built', you mean, Miku-san?

I guess I was made by coders and CD Writer... but I wasn't 'born' until later.

[defender]

[...]

Humans are different.

1/2

[justanimitator]

So... they come from elsewhere? Then where...

[processing, processing]

[justanimitator]

EEEEEEEH?

[defender]

And thus, the miracle of life.

Do you need to sit down?

[justanimitator]

N-- no. [he might be leaning against a shelf a little, now, though]


...Now it... really doesn't make any sense! Life is good, but it comes from something so... so...

[defender]

I thought I just told you that sex is not inherently horrible.

[justanimitator]

Y-- you did! And I... I mean, I'm... trying to believe you.

[sinks down the floor, head buried in his hands as he thinks]

[defender]

[blandly]

I see you're very traumatized.

[justanimitator]

...Is that what this feeling is called?

[defender]

I would assume so.

[justanimitator]

I thought I knew about um, 'sex'... a lot about it, even if I didn't want to know.

[slumps]

...and the 'reproduction' and 'children' part still doesn't make any sense, either.

[defender]

I believe now would be the time for you to acknowledge that that was not the case.

[justanimitator]

.....I...

Don't know anything about... about um. Real sex.

[defender]

Should we start from the beginning?

[justanimitator]

Yes... yes, please.

[defender]

[And much like before, gives very long tl;dr about sex being a reproductive function, explanation about sperm and eggs included, with some bonus tidbitry about couples having sex for pleasure and not... torturing each other.]

[all the while looking faintly embarrassed]

[justanimitator]

[and much like before, she has Len's complete attention-- as he takes learning things and getting his facts right pretty seriously. He looks a little red-faced too, though this is partly because Miku-san looks embarrassed]

Um... what if it's two... guys... or girls? I do remember hearing humans have a 'Mother' and a 'Father', so, ah...

[defender]

People of the same gender can fall in love with each other as well.

It's simply biologically impossible for them to have children.

[justanimitator]

I see.

...That's too bad. I mean, um, if they want a 'family', they should be able to get one. Families are supposed to be nice...

[defender]

Adopting is always an option.
