That moment when you remember you aren't 100% Japanese, genetically.

Aren't you technically genetically nothing these days

... I feel like this shouldn't be a surprise, really...

...I don't think a lot of people are 100% genetically Japanese.

Still, always an interesting anecdote. What are you, genetically?

Do you have to be mean!?

Really?

Well, I'm not entirely sure.

I'm MOSTLY Japanese, but I'm fairly sure one of my Great Grandmothers is Scandinavian. I wouldn't be surprised if the words Chinese or Korean came up somewhere along the line elsewhere.

I'm not!

....Huh. That's interesting. I'm fairly sure a part of my family hails from there too.

Admittedly, it's cause my name might actually make sense, there.

Yes. I'm not entirely certain why...

Well don't call me genetic nothing! I might be an alien demon squid horror from beyond the veil now, but I take pride in where I came from!

... Ara?

Care to explain?

If I could explain it, I'd have said it, now wouldn't I?

Well, at least I have a gorgeous figure?

Yes, Noriko.

... You seem upset.

Onni. It literally means "fortune" in... Finnish, I think it is? And it seems like the rest of my name was sort of hastily tacked on to make it seem more Japanese. Y'know?

It has happened before. You are also staggeringly tall.

...O.kay.

I am pretty tall, yeah, that's the other thing. I wouldn't exactly stick out over there. And you're pretty tall yourself.

It's weird how tall some of the people we know are compared to... everyone else.

What's that supposed to mean!?

. . I'm short as a teenager.

...Late growth spurt? I mean I didn't grow out fully until like, a couple years ago.

... Maybe? Those would have to be some hella delayed genes.

Nothing! Why are you being weird!

... Weird?

Maybe, but you're usually like... what, sixteen? Maybe seventeen when you're a teen?

Yes, because I'm generally mentally one.

You're jumping all over me.

I'm not going to get in trouble if I don't argue that, right?

But yeah, you probably hit being ridiculous tall around... hm...

Guesstimate? 18 or 19. I think that's when I really started filling out myself.
