Aaah... Playing with the age i see... A world where they could live till the age of 200, so their "heart" mature slowly since there is no pressure to mature fast (Like we do, where at the age of 15/6 we are demanded to ACT mature, and not just let the person mature by themself) So even someone at the age of 70 or something will have the heart of a teenager.
... Now i just realize WHY teenager is a bad parent
We're actually pretty well-geared
as a species to start out as teenagers.
For one thing, this idea that you're supposed to be all independent and raise kids on your own?
Complete and utter bullshit. The human species is supposed to work in large groups of extended families. This is why in these times of trouble, you have families starting to stick closer and closer together - multiple generations living under the same roof and contributing to a collective fund to make ends meet.
There have been studies done, in fact, that reveal that teenage parents actually do just fine if they have the full support of at least one of their families. And even better if both families lend their support. And this is just because it's how we're wired.
Having kids of your own is part of the process of "growing up". Ask anyone who's ever had kids and they'll tell you straight to your face: absolutely no amount of age will prepare you for this. The only thing that would even remotely help prepare you is having prior experience taking care of younger siblings, cousins, nephews, nieces, and children of close family friends.
In other words, being raised in what is practically a village. Because it actually
does take a village to raise a child. And if you look really carefully? The idea of new parents going it alone is actually very
very new.... and something that doesn't work very well at all.
And that's exactly what we have going on here. For whatever reason, Lira raised Falco in virtual isolation. And as such, he gained very little ability to socialize, absolutely no life skills at all, and even worse, she left him with absolutely nothing but the clothes on his back. She expected that he'd do fine on his own, and only because she taught him how to be an excellent hunter.
And this has obviously run counter to how things work in this world, since apparently families are deeply interconnected and also form many close friendships, and children are highly valued.
I have no idea why Lira thought her way was fine. But maybe we'll find out later on.
