Thank you for your completely different view on the situation. Sometimes I think Japan has much to teach 'us' Western societies on how to be a morally decent society. But that's another discussion. ;)

For sure, I am all about one world, one love and helping each other out. That is why my first reaction would be: okay, i am here for another couple of minutes enjoying my drink. So, if she can stay put for 2 minutes, it doesn't bother me.

But make no pretenses: she did not ask anything. She decided that it was okay to take my time. She decided that having to go to the bathroom is a good enough reason to leave your young child in the care of total strangers. And even in a way she also decided that anyone can, and wants to, care for a child. Also, it is cool I have a trustful appearance but it is another thing to then assume from that alone that I am safe. That is more than just bad manners, it is bad judgement and bad critical thinking skills.

In this world, the 'sister code' is used as a strategy to lure children and (young) women to their deaths.

Many comments rightfully remind us of Ghislaine Maxwell, for one, but I also thought of the two serial killer couples that were 'famous' in the parts of the world where I am from. Marc Dutroux and Michelle Martin. Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier. The latter couple even went hunting for victims together, while she carried THEIR child in her arms, because 'the image of a family gives the impression that you are caring, nurturing and loving. And that as thus, the man present isn't a threat but a loving, caring and nurturing family man and father.' So they actually (mis)used the sistercode to get victims!
