[so short and tiny and cute etc.]

*with more understated sincerity than a kid his age should probably have*

I'm sorry.

At least you're still a family, though.

[there's a slight pause, and then he smiles faintly]

Yes.

How old's your son?

He's in his early twenties by now.

If he has kids, will it be passed onto them?

. . .

I don't know how it would work for people like me.

. . . I don't think Uryuu is going to have children.

People shouldn't have kids if they don't want them.

I don't actually know whether he wants them or not.

*....working his way through the logic that's being presented to him*

. . . It's hard to have children when two men are involved.

Oh. Yes, it is.

...I wonder if anyone has that mutation.

I have no idea.

People here... A lot of them are thinking about their, you know, girlfriends and boyfriends.

. . . It's a side effect of this place.

Like becoming ten years old?

. . . A different kind of side effect.

So how would you describe it?

Unresolved sexual tension.

Oh. Because of that rule.

Yes.

*sighs a little*

People think about sex enough under normal circumstances.

That's true. I'd imagine it's different here because most aren't accustomed to being forced to go without for years at a time.

And on top of that, everyone trapped in relatively close quarters...
