This was one thing she did not blame Benjamin for.  He had been absolutely correct in that he was in no condition to be caring for a child.  And no one else there at Westwoods had any real experience in caring for a child in the long-term.  Aside from Haruka and Michiru, only Benjamin had that kind of experience, and those skills had been born in a hellacious crucible of parentification and abuse.

I was about to complain about this, but then I remembered Washuu-chan has experience caring for a baby, not a child. Sometimes politics sucks.

And the match-up couldn't have possibly been any worse: Alicia absolutely despised Haruka and Michiru.

Yeah, she isn't the only one.

"I'm rebuilding the engine for my bike," said the girl as she removed the final bolt, then began to lug the single-cylinder block to the shop vice to immobilize it.

"... You... know what you're doing?"  The question came, of course, less out of concern and more out of surprise.

Why wouldn't she, in this particular household? In addition to Ben, she has everybody at Whirlwind setting an example for her.
