#Also I should write the whole Shuuichi gets a car bc Shuukichi keeps getting kidnapped thing. It sparks joy

Hi! Check this out

I was thinking abt the wizard of the ripples and remembered that Shuuichi (22) made a comment about having to get used to right-hand traffic even though he'd supposedly already been living in the states for quite a while since Mary said she let him go there to study and he got citizenship as well.

In the UK you can apparently apply for a provisional driver's license at age 15, but you can't actually start physically driving until you're 17.

Shuuichi is still 15 by the time they leave the UK, which means he wouldn't have been legally allowed to drive yet (then again, I don't know much about Britain. Maybe over there you don't need to have passed at least the theory test, which can take a months-long wait to even find a spot to attempt, in order to be allowed to drive with an instructor/family member).

Anyway <3 This can only mean that Shuuichi drove illegally back in the UK <3 Which is why he says he needs to "get used to" right-side driving <3

In my heart he used to drive Shuukichi to school, and if anyone tried to ask him if he was even legal he'd speed away <3

Alternatively this is because Shuukichi kept getting kidnapped and Mary bought Shuuichi a car so he could keep up with the kidnappers and get his brother back on his own (average Akai family member reaction)
