Yuuto has been in a daze as he tries to clean the balcony... While still partially blind from power overuse. At least his Starnet device is kind enough to read the message aloud.]
[By the time that Yuuto comes back, 'moon viewing' is long over. It's coming to be early morning and Dimitri notes that his brother is a wreck. He's wearing normal clothes, covered in dirt stains and red-eyed from crying. It's a pathetic look for a kami. But it's exactly what Dimitri had expected.
When worried spirits tried to fill him in to save their kind kami friend, they did not realize that these brothers had a broken relationship. Dimitri is waiting by the front door for his older brother and wastes no time digging into him upon arrival.]
Karma finally creeps up to get you and you go crying about it. Always pushing your problems off on others, huh, niisan? Did you have fun playing the victim or do you need for me to pity you too?
[Yuuto isn't actually surprised to see Dimitri at the door. He had expected as much, actually. For all of his brother's attempts not to care or open up, he's actually an open book. To Yuuto, at least.
He closes the door and gently switches the lock. Just a little more. He can stay strong for a little while longer, for Dimitri's sake, and then go somewhere to rest. The hidden hurt in his brother's voice is loud in Yuuto's heart and he can't ignore it.]
It's not 'playing the victim,' Dimitri. I was talking to my friends... It helped.
[Then again, he doesn't blame Dimitri's interpretation. They haven't had friends in decades now and Yuuto is to blame for that. If Dimitri wasn't so determined to keep his brother from being alone, then he could have restarted his life long ago.
Apologies for interrupting you, starlight, but I wanted to warn you before you came back so it wasn't too much of a surprise.
My sister, Gin arrived. Don't feel pressured to return. I can explain your absence without telling her too much. She'll likely need time to adjust as it is.
[ A certain figure has been asking around to find out where Yuuto was, and if he was napping at any point during the night. She'd been busy, and sleeping was definitely going to be out of the question, so... time to plan her attack.
Which is to say, carrying a paper bag with her, with the intent to drop off a few extra presents. A red stocking filled with sweets, a flashlight, and a calculator?
It's meant to be personalized anyway.
If one opened their eyes, maybe due to the sound of soft bells jingling around a bit, they'd see a figure with a red coat and red pants, and a stocking cap on top of...
...a reindeer's head.
Well. Close enough. That certain someone may also have placed a tiny gem on a table nearby, so that she doesn't die but also... she's not quickly identifiable. Maybe. ]
[Yuuto is medicated sleepy. When he isn’t sleeping, he’s taking medicine to keep him drowsy and in bed. So when he wakes up in the night, stirring in response to a sound in the room, his first instinct is to reach for a glass of water and take his medicine.
And then he sees
He squints.
What is he seeing?? Someone dressed in red… a reindeer??]
Pardon me. Can I- [He yawns.] Can I be of use to you..?
[Yuuto needs to do a double take. He hasn’t heard from Ryoko in a while and he expected to be waiting for a long while to come. Inaba sort of helped him understand, but he’s still trying to reflect on and repent over whatever crime he committed against Ryoko. She can say there was nothing, but he can’t help but worry.
Even now, he has a hundred reasons in his head for why he should stay away. It takes him a minute to type a response.]
No, I’m not busy.
I can stay out until the Reblooming festivities end for the night.
[After Fauna's fight with Yuuto, she went to Inaba. She vented her frustrations, her feelings out, on the wall of Inaba's office. And then...
... And then she calmed down. And thought about it.
Why was she like this? How hard had she hit Yuuto? She didn't even know. She just... saw red, and...
It was pathetic of her. She wanted to run away. Hide from Yuuto. Never see him again- He'd be happier without her, right?
... She's so pathetic. She can't even do that.
Eventually, she manages to pull herself together. What should she do...
She knows what she should do. She's just always been too much of a coward to do it, hasn't she? She can tell others, but why could she never tell Yuuto?
Because Yuuto is so kind, so full of love, if she told him, he'd forgive her for anything. And that's not what she wants, is it? She wants him to tell her she was wrong. She wants him to fight back.
She wants him to forgive her. She wants this entire problem to have never been a problem. She wants to use those damned, cursed Seeds she carries, and pray to a Goddess who isn't here, and maybe, somehow, just fix Yuuto's whole life- Let him be born a normal, powerless child so he could feel the love everyone truly does have for him.
Why is she thinking all that now? Because she's running away again. Thinking about that and hating herself is easier than doing what needs to be done.
She pulls out her changer, and slowly, begins to text Yuuto.
What she texts him is... an address on the fifth level? It's not anyone's home, that Yuuto knows of.]
ill be there in half an hour if y im goin
[The lines she tries to delete get sent instead. She's getting frustrated again.]
[To be honest, Yuuto is scared when he sees the message. He’s sore and shaky and feeling like such a coward. But he pulls himself together, texting his intent to meet her there, and teleports to the location.
His head is hung. He’s nervous. But since it’s Fauna… he knows he’ll be okay.]
hello yuuto-san um i hope this isn't too presumptuous of me but
i know you enjoyed the music i shared with you the songs that mafuyu and i wrote with the rest of our circle, that is we shared an incident a while back, where we both gained... a lot of memories of events back home and that included memories of several songs we wrote
