This is the third son (non-exemplary) hidden away from public view, the black sheep of the family, and FMC's potential ally?

 

[Chromoz]

Fuck pls let that bitch deserve some horrible for her crimes.

 

[maddery]

So her half-brother? Or step-brother? Either way don't spare them from your revenge mc. They must pay for their crime! Sons included. They stole your father and ruined your family after all.

So, is the doctor not their dad...or did he just kick them to the curb like their mom. I would think she would be worried he would recognize her, even if she is grown up

Seems like she should hate the doctor more than that woman

 

[Rozzak]

Probably the younger son. Idk how youd fuck up working at a trading firm lmao

 

[Simpleton]

Given mothers mental state now I'm almost beginning to think that she knows it was arson, but blames herself for "letting the snake in". I.e. she knew that copycat woman was trouble, but it was still her "only friend" (so pretty abusive relationship there).

@HOOfan_1 I doubt anyone has given it much thought. "Children should go with the mother upon a separation" was pretty much the baseline in modern society until fairly recently (and some places it is still so). Only in certain places or in special circumstances was it otherwise.

 

[MrGoose]

Wonder if this hikikomori is her son in the "trading firm" or the "med school".

@Simpleton this seems more than just they went to live with their mother though.

The dad is apparently filthy rich, yet the daughters seem to be living paycheck to paycheck.

If she can go and work in his house without his new wife recognizing her, or fearing that he will walk in and see her, then it hints that they haven't had contact since the divorce.

So it seems either he cut contact with them, or perhaps they cut contact with him.

 

[Simpleton]

@HOOfan_1

Contact has definitely been cut, and since the daughters haven't tried to get back in touch there's probably some resentment against him as well. Just not the same kind of hatred as against pyro-wife.

But the likely reason for contact cutting is probably that new wife gets upset at such suggestions and beats them down, while old wife doesn't have the energy or self-confidence to argue for child support.
("You burned down the house, you should be happy we don't sue" ignoring the fact that they'd never get even close to a court victory in any way with such a case. But thoughts like that probably strengthen her will do just fade away.)

I'm a bit uncertain about the timing of her amnesia though. My guesstimate right now is that she did have a couple years of hard labor before going cray-cray, but it's the mental issues that made the daughter start hunting for memory lane roadsigns for mommy.

There's a WWII and possible Holocaust joke in here somewhere that I am not brave enough nor stupid enough to make.

I feel like Mamiko knows who she is. It's too much of a coincidence for her to find those shoes in the place by chance. She was guided there by her. I think the hikkimori is the son who is supposed to be in med school.
