7.6 - Lapse in Judgement

Kiyoshi: 'You forgot about us.'
I needed a break, dude. This game can get frightfully dull and everyone knows Legacies are a slog!
Kiyoshi: 'Harsh.'
Just get inside and get warmed up.

This lovely blonde lady is Devin Matteson. Kaito met her in the University neighborhood during his mad dash for a spouse. I've already given her a makeover.
Legacy loves are so romantic...
It looks like he's trying to explain to Nanami why Devin looks like a burglar.
(spoiler: she's evil!)

Kiyoshi still needs wildlife attacks, so I ship the family off to the mountains for some vacation time. Unfortunately, it is decidedly animal-free. I've had ZERO LUCK with 'wildlife attacks.' It's dumb.
Nanami and Yosuke got some family bonding by building a Snow Pal.

No.

Asherah is a good mum, as always, and loves taking time to chat with her boys. Unfortunately for her... Yosuke aged up during vacation, so he's got to go.
I'm bummed. He would have been fun to play... Creative, Mean, and a Romantic! What a combination. Oh well.
Enjoy eternal life, my dude!

The family returns home and poor Kiyoshi is pretty bummed he didn't get mauled by any animals despite spending so much time hiking. He was barely at the vacation house.
Nanami tries to comfort her dad by asking for his help with her homework.
Nanami: 'This may have been a mistake...'
You think? Kiyoshi is pretty, but I wouldn't say he's smart. He's trying to get attacked by animals!
Kiyoshi: 'I didn't make the aspiration goals!'
No, no... you didn't. Whoever did needs knee-capped. They suck.

Morgan swims around like her fabulous self, completely unconcerned by the blizzard going on around her. How very Morgan.
Morgan: 'I'm a ghost...'
I feel like you did this as your living self, too, though.

Kaito decides to step up his 'getting to know you' game by bribing Devin. I love that you can gift people money. How completely appropriate for a legacy.
Devin is thrilled. She knows a good thing when she sees it.
100,000 Simoleans later, they're buddies!

I skipped out on Winterfest this time, but I did get everyone together for New Year's. It's a shame Yosuke didn't stop by. We would have had the entire family celebrating!

Girl time is still an autonomous thing. If I'm honest, it mostly happens around the treadmill, as Nanami is seemingly obsessed with the thing.
Instead, we get a photo of a quiet morning. Once Kaito steps up, I don't foresee Asherah preparing many more meals, given his aspirations to be a chef.
Get dressed, you idiot! What is with you and trying to freeze? We came here for animals, not for death.
Kiyoshi: '...but I didn't bring my coat.'
Arggggh!

I missed taking a proper photo, but the heir, Kaito, is now a Young Adult! Which means we're on to the next generation. Yay!
Here he is nailing down the spousal contract with Devin. She won't be moving in for a bit yet, though.
Kaito rounds out his traits with Loves Outdoors because this trait will haunt me forever. Never again.

Shortly after, it's Nanami's turn. She's such a cutie, I'll miss her obsessive treadmill hogging! Have fun out there.
She added Romantic to Childish and Adventurous.
Yoko: 'Oh no. This means I'm next!'
Not necessarily a bad thing. Being the heir means death.
