An old house, a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen? – Adult situations and artistic nudity. Not suitable for children.
I suspect that X is the only one who can tell Peach to just accept that Sky is a grown-up and have the words sink in. Mostly because Sky is X’s daughter of the heart, if not her body.
Ace could have also replied: “Because you said ‘we’ll go over the details later’. That’s a detail; not immediately relevant information that doesn’t have much impact on our current situation. Speaking of impacts… AND our current situation…”
“Innocence” …is not some special, magical quality. It’s simply ignorance, when adults find it “cute”. No more, no less. It’s absolutely NOT something we should try and preserve in children as long as possible, even well into their 20s, in any respect. That is not healthy or developmentally appropriate for them. Any parent attempting that is doing the young person harm and should be made to stop, for that child’s sake.
…Mind you, an 11-year-old having her first kill in battle is kind of an extreme example. Not the best one to make this point with, I fully admit. 😛
I’m thinking more about the type of parents who don’t want their kids to attend a proper sex-education class… ever. There’s a number of US states that have allowed these dangerous morons to have sway, and “teach” abstinence-only “education” (which can be summarized simply as NOT teaching sex-ed). Those states have seen teen pregnancy rates double and triple since the initiative went through. The whole rest of the country has seen a steady decline.
