Lum was a troublemaker even when she was a child. Sheesh. I guess she only got less worse as she grew older.
I feel bad for Ran. She didn't deserve all the abuse. Instead of holding a grudge, she should've just let her go. And she might've if Rei didn't come to earth... And I guess all that trauma can't just be forgotten... The damage is already done.
Ran's mom Kawa was just a typical Asian mom from the 1980's. But I guess her "parenting" would not fly in today's day and age.
