Kira's parents being mentioned.
Kira contemplates momentarily who it could be.
It isn't my "parents" since I was emancipated almost four years ago. Parents should never do those kind of things to a kid. Course I gave them what they deserved about a year ago.
You are Kira, of about four years ago.
You have recently been emancipated from your extremely abusive parents.
You aren't currently the most sane of people. It was a tad traumatic.
You aren't quite sure why you suddenly got the urge to stare despondently into the juice, I mean you are quite happy right now, no horrible parents ever again, no more bruises or welts, no more names and yelling, no more, never again.
This makes you really happy.
So, obviously, Kira's parents were very abusive but something killed them and Kira escaped from it. Hooray for Kira. Because of your hint (thanks again) we can assume that the killer was Mr. Lupine Transcendent. I made a list of all those who were mentioned but not explicitly met and got to at least somewhat know. I also added some theorycrafting notes.
>TurbanLover - Joseph > we don't know him at all. He could be, or he could not be; he seems to be more PEW PEW and KABOOM than a wolf/dog would be.
>Knight Wanderer - Stephen > possible association with Dolvath(?)?? > I think he is unlikely, we know he is nearish a knight/warrior archetype, and in 4 months he didn't noticeably have any lupine aspects.
>Temporal Mechanic - Kent > I'm not sure. We didn't have much time with him.
> Black Cat - Richard > unlikely, he's a cat; though I suppose that he could be for sheer laughs.
>God-Emporer of Mankind > I don't think so, for obvious reasons.
>Holly from the Infinity Plane or whatever > ah, no, I highly doubt she is anything but our creation.
>Dolvath(?) > another deity, possibly evil but I'm unsure. We don't know much, if anything, about him. He could be a Lupine guy who has Transcended into godhood.
Otherwise, I have no idea who it could be. My last guess would be WolfArisen,
but I Okay. Now it seems like Alex would be the Lupine Transcendent
but I think I'm onto something. Alex has leveled city blocks before, so it is not unlikely that he could have killed Kira's parents in a rage. Alright, my conclusion is WolfArisen aka Alex. His classpects, 'Dead' and others, all combine in order to make him a Lupine Transcendent, or close enough. I'm not sure how that would work, but that's my hopefully solid guess.
That's all mostly unedited. Could you hear my brain chugging during that last paragraph?
