[Discussion] 12 Sisters? All Missing??

[abyssal_sylph]

So, ngl Rantaro's backstory was the one that took me out the narrative of V3 the most. Yes not even Gonta "jk about the wolves I was raised by reptoids" took me out as much as Rnataro losing 12 sisters did. I've grown on it a bit, but its still quite ubsurd that Rantaro's parents would let him still after his sisters after losing the 3rd one.

Either that or Rantaro's parents wanted the sisters gone for whatever reason & let them go missing* on purpose, as imperfectapollo suggested to me. Which could add a layer why Rantaro doesn't really speak about them.

I'm sure in canon, Tsumugi was just being overly dramatic in her writing of Rantaro's backstory. But I'm curious what explanations you could come up for in AUs where Rantaro actually has 12 sisters.
