[Mami's mouth dropped open, then. Wait, so Mami herself was Grand Aunt Miyoko's primarily succesor, then?]
[And then, she sighed. It didn't look like she'd be inheriting much, if the lawyer was talking about how the money she would be getting barely covered the inheritance taxes.]
[And then, she thought about this some more. An house was a house, and it was in a fairly nice part of the town, too, from what she remembered...]
[Mami's cousins, on the other hand, appeared to be seething, though her aunt and uncle themselves seemed to be strangely composed about the matter.]
...Why the hell does stupid Mami keep getting everything, anyway?
[Rukia growled, gritting her teeth.]
- She's so stupid! She didn't even try go to the proper schools so she could meet the proper people, but she and that stupid lawyer of hers keeps trying to tell us how to run our lives, and -
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was staring at Rukia, and sweatdropping.]
...But - But the Tsuji familiy is really rich already! Why do they keep wanting to get your money, Mami-Neesan?
[She whispered. Mami sighed, then.]
- They're still quite well to do by ordinary people's standards, but a long time ago, the whole family used to be even richer, and they...They just couldn't adapt properly when things changed and they didn't have much money as before, I suppose.
[Mami rubbed her eyes, then.]
...People can be really stupid about things like that, sometimes.
