comment
The Outside is an Alternate Universe fic of Kill la Kill.Ever since she was little, Ryuuko has only known life with her older sister, Satsuki. However, she's only lived inside and wants to experience much more but, for some reason, one of sister's rules is that she isn't allowed outside. Ryuuko doesn't care about this and decides, whether her sister likes it or not, she's going to venture out.

The Runaway: In Chapter 13, Ryuuko, Nui, and Shiro becomes something of a Type III, as the latter two don't have families and Ryuuko resolves to run away to find her mother, thus the latter two tag along because Shiro knows someone who can help them and Nui because she wanted to.

The Quiet One: Satsuki isn't much of a talker and when she does talk, she's a Terse Talker (So far the only things we hear her say are "No" and Ryuuko's name). She breaks this in chapter 31, when she says, "Oh, Ryuuko, I'm so sorry."

Parents as People
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_20989d05
comment
Parents as People: Ragyo and, to a lesser extent, Satsuki (who's an older sister). Ragyo genuinely cares about her daughters but, due to Satsuki's poor health, she coddled her a bit too much to the point of being doting and overprotective, leaving after a fight with her husband, which, after her husband's death, left her daughters to fend for themselves while she was unaware (until much later), while Satsuki genuinely cares for Ryuuko, it's made clear that she has a slew of issues that hasn't left her able to care for herself properly.

comment
Adoptive Peer Parent: Besides Promotion to Parent, Satsuki, according to the storyline, is about ten years older than Ryuuko and is roughly on the same emotional level that Ryuuko is, if not only slightly older. Despite that,starting from when she's about 13, she tries to force herself into parental role but fails, as she hasn't too many skills to care for herself, let alone Ryuuko, properly.

Mysterious Parent: For much of the story, Ragyo was this, as her absence conflicted the plot, with Soichiro being dead, Satsuki being deemed an unfit guardian, and no one really knowing what too much about or what happened to her, much less her reasons for leaving.

Rules of Orphan Economics: While not exactly orphans, the scenario is portrayed in something of a Type II, as Satsuki and Ryuuko do seem to be living off of resources their dad left for them, especially since the former is agoraphobic and isn't mentioned to be stepping out of the house willingly.

Parental Abandonment
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_297ab1b9
comment
Parental Abandonment: This is implied to be the reason as to why Satsuki is Ryuuko's guardian and it's made more clear later, as their father was implied to have passed away (Ryuuko mentions him to be "long gone")and their mother might be somewhere, as, apparently, their parents divorced (or, rather separated). As we find out, Shiro lost both of his parents before he was eight and Nui's parents were gone from her life before she was four.

The Chain of Harm
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_3ad27180
comment
The Chain of Harm: A subtle one. When she was young, Ragyo's mollycoddled a chronically ill Satsuki and Soichiro encouraged her to go outside, leading to the asthma attack, then their parents' fight, before the two split, Soichiro dying after that, which in turn led to Satsuki being agoraphobic, overprotective, somewhat neglectful, and borderline psychologically abusive to her little sister Ryuuko,keeping her confined indoors, which in turn made Ryuuko dependent on her, more naive (than a preteen would be), and more vulnerable to dangers, along with more prone to sneak around her rules, which got her hurt and later on removed from Satsuki's care.

Noodle Incident: As we find out in chapter 18, Rei is a wanted woman and that she skipped bail thirteen years prior to the story. Exactly as to what she did to lead to those circumstances isn't said. Likewise, we don't know how she met Shiro, either. Initially, the fight Satsuki and Ryuuko's parents had. It was known, for the longest, that Soichiro and Ragyo had a fight and Ragyo left but it wasn't known why until chapter 30 From the a recent chapter, Ryuuko recalls getting her hair pulled and getting pinched for something she can't exactly remember why, besides that it made her never want to do it again. However, this seems to be played with, as, from what's implied, Satsuki gave her that response was because she went outside.

Bittersweet Ending: In Chapter 58, Ryuuko learns that she can come to terms with Satsuki's failing health and dying, after the latter suffers an asthma attack and nearly dies, learning to let go. Though, Satsuki survives tuberculosis and the aforementioned, we find out that her life expectancy is shorter than Ryuuko's.

Foster Kid: Ryuuko eventually ends up as a foster kid when she's subsequently removed from her sister's care and placed in a group home while social services look for her mother. The place isn't really bad and the kids there are taken care of but Ryuuko obviously doesn't like it there and would much prefer to be with her sister.

Paper-Thin Disguise
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_48b9731f
comment
Paper-Thin Disguise: Chapter 14, from a narrative standpoint, as Shiro and Nui's disguises by "Rae" make more sense as their hair is dyed and Shiro is given fake freckles, while Ryuuko just gets a haircut and a barrette. Subverted in chapter 18, where Tsumugu (who offers to give them a lift into town) notices something about Ryuuko and says, "You look too much like the girl that went missing." As we already know, at least, he didn't fall for Ryuuko's disguise. Disguising a child that's reported missing doesn't really work if someone is very observant and there's too much of a coincidence, in which case, Tsumugu doesn't fall for Ryuuko's disguise, as, clearly, the latter looks too much like the missing girl.

Go Mad from the Isolation: The story downplays this with Ryuuko. She doesn't go mad, instead, she became a cloudcuckoolander, as a coping mechanism (from what's implied) to deal with Satsuki keeping her confined indoors (she gets left alone with her own thoughts), leaving her with limited contact besides her sister, "Butler Dude", and her tutor, Aikurou.

It's All My Fault: When she gets wind of Satsuki being sick, Ryuuko blames herself in a sense (Satsuki's health takes a left turn, some time after Ryuuko was taken away). Later, she blames herself again, to which Shiro tells her that it isn't her fault and that what's happened probably would have happened anyway.

Curiosity Killed the Cast: In chapter 23, while afraid of the "nasty dude", Ryuuko is curious enough to ask him as to what that would mean to come with him.

Big Brother Instinct
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_69681e01
comment
Big Brother Instinct: This fic plays with this. In Satsuki and Ryuuko's case, this is justified but deconstructed. For most of the story, they only had each other, especially in light of their parents' separation and Soichiro's passing away. While her being protective is fine, her being overprotective is source of the problem, as, because she's agoraphobic, she keeps Ryuuko indoors and isolated. Adding to this, because of the aforementioned, they're each other's crutch, as the former is alone otherwise and Satsuki was the only family Ryuuko had. Later, we get a straighter example in Shiro in a promoted to parent way.

Adaptation Personality Change: Satsuki, in canon, is more sensible and pragmatic. Here, she's reclusive and mentally unwell. Likewise, in canon, Aikuro is flirty and weird but nevertheless means well, while, here, he more serious and his good intentions are more obvious, instead of being flirty and goofy.

Safety Worst
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_723afdc4
comment
Safety Worst: Much of the driving conflict is caused by an agoraphobic Satsuki trying to keep Ryuuko safe from the perceived dangers of the outside world by keeping her confined to the indoors. As we can see, this didn't work out well, as Ryuuko sneaking out to play outside got her hurt and ended up with her being removed, on top of making her more vulnerable. Later on, Satsuki realizes that her attempts at protection did more harm than good.

comment
Vague Age: We don't know exactly how old Ryuuko, Satsuki, and by that extension the other characters are but it can be said that Nui is most likely the youngest (Chapter 14 has Ryuuko describing as her as being "like six or something") of the cast and that Ryuuko is considered a minor and under CPS authority. Likewise, Satsuki must be old enough to have some recognized legal authority if she was Ryuuko's guardian or, at least, old enough to be allowed to live independently. Chapters 28 and 30, implies that Ryuuko, at the least, is most likely 12 and Satsuki is 22, as, at the time, the former was about two and the latter was twelve at the time Ragyo left (which was mentioned to "about a decade ago").

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Yes, the outside world can be dangerous, as Satsuki believes it to be, however, she perceives the outside world because of her own reasonings, as she almost died from an asthma attack and the fact that their father died, instead of realizing that those events happened because of other reasons and not just because of going outside. Worrying for the Wrong Reason: As noted before, the outside world can be dangerous but Satsuki wasn't thinking about things that make the outside world dangerous (i.e car accidents, disease, or people to list a few).

Wistful Amnesia: Ryuuko's memories seem to serve as this (and some form of Repressed Memories), as, while few, she does have memories of going outside, however, probably because she was so young then, she can't recall the events consciously, outside of dreams or when she sees something to spark the memory (i.e, in chapter 52).

Department of Child Disservices: For the most part this is averted but Ryuuko is immediately taken away the same day, when usually this would happen if the situation was dire or if they had a warrant. However, because she had an untreated injury and her situation was already questionable, it could be said that removing her was necessary.

Children Are Innocent: While we don't know how old Ryuuko is, she is very naive and doesn't quite understand how the world works. Likewise, she doesn't know what some things are, i.e, she refers to an RV as a "house car" and doesn't know what snow is, along with that she can't make sense of how Rei could be a wanted fugitive (her reasoning is that Rei is "nice" and that "nice people don't go to jail"). As Amoridere put it in an author's note in chapter 23, Ryuuko's innocence is meant to be "endearing and grating".

Parental Neglect: While not a parent, Satsuki seems to be a little inattentive and gullible, along with being mostly wrapped up in what she might be doing. This trope is a reason as to why Ryuuko is taken away, as Satsuki didn't question as to how Ryuuko got injured from a simple household fall.

Abusive Parents: Downplayed. As we learn in chapter 21, Satsuki could be pretty strict with her enforcement, as in parenthesis, Ryuuko implies that Satsuki's response to her not eating all of her food was to glue her to the chair (literally). From what we got in chapter 27, her response to Ryuuko wetting the bed was to make her take a cold bath and, in chapter 35, we find out that the worst she's done so far was pull a then 3-year old Ryuuko's hair and give her pinches, along with Chapter 40 mentioning her leaving a sewing needle in Ryuuko for five minutes on the bases that "she needed know what she did". Besides those instances, we can assume her punishments for Ryuuko were mainly benign.

comment
My Beloved Smother: While she isn't her mother, Satsuki plays this role with Ryuuko, with her subtle domineering presence and her rules, the one especially strict with Ryuuko going outdoors. However, this trope seems to be played with, as she might have somewhat of a reason to act the way she does, as with her questionable health, her parents splitting, and her father dying, along with being unequipped to deal with the world, she's alone otherwise, so she overprotects and coddles Ryuuko and tries to raise her in accordance to what she perceives to be best. As we find out, Ragyo is implied to be a downplayed, and slightly more justified example, along with being something of a Doting Parent, as because, Satsuki often sick and because Satsuki was the first pregnancy she carried to term (according to an author's note), she would overprotect and didn't think to probably encourage her daughter out of her comfort zone. However, it's mentioned that she didn't mean to and she laments that she didn't teach her "what to do".

Logical Fallacies
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_b7f082b6
comment
Logical Fallacies: Exist in three ways, in terms of why Ryuuko didn't bother to go outside. She feared breaking Satsuki's rule on the subject, so much so that she talks about Satsuki almost as if she's some omnipotent being and dreaded whatever punishment she might get if she tried, even if it's unlikely that said punishment would be delivered. (Appeal to Fear) However, she wouldn't know otherwise, so she doesn't go outside, in case she runs the risk of bringing on said punishment. In a sense, Satsuki has a similar thought process, as to her, the outside world is dangerous, considering she avoids the outside world due to having a near fatal asthma attack and the fact that, if she does, she runs the risk of getting sick or having another one. (Appeal to Consequences). Appeal to Force: Satsuki can be strict with how she enforces her rules, either by being intimidating enough or actually having doled out some punishments before.

No Social Skills: Due to having been raised so sheltered, Ryuuko doesn't have any experience or knowledge of strangers, much less how to avoid dangerous ones. Likewise, in chapter 25, due to having been raised so sheltered (along with being slightly malnourished and having not have had vaccines), she's more prone to illness and becomes seriously ill.

Soap Opera Disease: Satsuki's illness isn't really said, however, it's serious, especially so that it leaves her more medically fragile that what she'd already be (hence why she no longer lives at home) and, with it her already weak immune system, could kill her. Subverted when she's mentioned to have become sick with tuberculosis, as her immune system was too weak to keep the disease within its incubation period.

Freudian Excuse
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: Shiro theorizes the reason Satsuki is agoraphobic and was so overprotective of Ryuuko was because she's been sick a lot her whole life and knew nothing else. This would seem to be confirmed in chapter 30, where Ragyo laments that she may have "coddled Satsuki a bit too much" and, to add to this, the one time Satsuki did go outside, she suffered a near fatal asthma attack.

Cloudcuckoolander: Deconstructed. Ryuuko views anything that isn't her house to be its own separated world and figured her sister has always existed and that "everything materialized around her" but she does know that her view on the on the world makes little sense (she calls her ideas "absurd as hell"). Though, she has a clue that she might not think like this if she wasn't sheltered and isolated by her older sister, implying she's this as a coping mechanism.

Small, Secluded World: Ryuuko, due to her older sister, has lived in isolation in her house for much of her life and doesn't really know anything else outside of what she's experienced. Similarly, the same would probably occur for an agoraphobic Satsuki, who wouldn't know what to associate with the outside besides that, to her logic, it's dangerous.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Aikuro slides between this and the closest thing that Ryuuko has to a Parental Substitute. He cares for Ryuuko's well-being and is worried about how much of an effect Satsuki's care has on her but does put his foot down when he feels need be, however, he did let plenty slide before that (i.e not reporting Satsuki to social services sooner).

comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: As Ryuuko notes, at least twice, Satsuki never leaves the doors to the house unlocked but she does a couple of times. The first time is when Ryuuko and Aikuro fakes the former being sick and the second time is when she's very sick and is taken from her house. Likewise, she's agoraphobic and would dislike doing anything that doesn't involve staying in her house but, when she's taken away from her house because she's sick, she doesn't fight it.

No Infantile Amnesia: Played with in chapter 43, where Ryuuko has a dream that's implied to be a memory from before she was three years old (sometime when, if not before Soichiro died) of her and Soichiro playing in the snow. When she wakes up, she goes ballistic trying to find any clues as to whether or not the event was really a dream or if it really happened. She has similar memory flashes in a couple of chapters afterwards.

Promotion to Parent
 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_f12d9d83
comment
Promotion to Parent: Satsuki is Ryuuko's guardian, however, she isn't really too capable of a guardian, though. While Ryuuko's care under the guardianship of her sister was already iffy and with that Satsuki is implied to be mentally unwell, her idea of taking care of her sister can't be called healthy but Ryuuko's well-being wasn't too out of order, regardless, it would have warranted some intervention if someone else besides Aikuro knew. However, when Aikuro notices Ryuuko's leg in a splint (she snuck outside to play with Mako and got hurt), social services are called and she's subsequently taken away, especially when it's made clear that she didn't get medical treatment. Shiro starts playing this role later on in the story and really plays it to a hilt when he gives Ryuuko a lecture on what almost happened to her.

Super Gullible: Downplayed Satsuki is agoraphobic and has no real world experience, so she wouldn't really believe otherwise, especially if she didn't see it (i.e, her being asleep when Ryuuko got hurt), however, she does have moments of skepticism (i.e, she had a back and forth with Aikuro in chapter 4).

comment
Homeschooled Kids: Ryuuko is implied to be homeschooled, as she only learns from a tutor, Aikuro, and Satsuki doesn't allow her outside. Like, some portrayals of this trope, the former hasn't had too much socialization, however, that's because her sister doesn't allow her outside. As we find out in Chapter 42, Satsuki was this, however, her case is justified, as she was sick much of the time, thus she would have a tutor.

Dying Candle: In Chapter 10, an ill Satsuki is found with candles lit and, when Ryuuko, Mako, Nui, and Shiro revisit the house, those candles are long extinguished. This trope also makes an appearance in Ryuuko's dream from chapter 20. Subverted by chapter 33, where Ryuuko's dream has Satsuki with lit candles.

Living Emotional Crutch: From what can be said, Ryuuko plays this role to Satsuki and, to some degree, the latter is this vice versa. However, this has a layer of tragedy, Satsuki is the only family Ryuuko's known, while Satsuki, in light of being sick for much of her life and being minus their parents, isn't too sure how to cope with her situation otherwise, thus robbing Ryuuko of a rather normal life.

 The Outside (Fanfic) / int_ff251a68
comment
As we find out, Ragyo is implied to be a downplayed, and slightly more justified example, along with being something of a Doting Parent, as because, Satsuki often sick and because Satsuki was the first pregnancy she carried to term (according to an author's note), she would overprotect and didn't think to probably encourage her daughter out of her comfort zone. However, it's mentioned that she didn't mean to and she laments that she didn't teach her "what to do".

Shown Their Work: Ryuuko's stint in foster care is meant to be temporary, as would usually be the case, however, in some situations, foster care can be permanent. Generally, to adopt a child, one would have to become their foster parent first, which is what Ragyo does, and it does require paperwork. Tuberculosis can be dormant in the body for a long time before symptoms manifest. Likewise, TB tend to be more serious (if not deadly) in those with weak or compromised immune systems.
