[reflash]

[Yukio is going to be a professional about this.]

Did they explain the time loops to you, nii-san?

Shiemi and I have both been here for a while, and like she said, we were in another world similar to this beforehand.

Did you come straight from Assiah?

[chaoticstupid]

[What they're saying isn't making any sense. They were both here? How? He just saw Yukio back home! How could so much time have passed for them to have spent time here and in another world??]

[He looks at the two of them again, and they don't really look all that different. A few months, maybe? A year? How far has he been left behind.]

[It hurts his head to think about. So maybe he just won't.]

Yeah, they explained why things were repeating and why we're here... but they didn't say anything about something like this! I-I just saw you before I came here! How's that supposed to work!?

[weedlikespirit]

Um... Yuki-chan?

[ She looks to him for help. The fact of it is Shiemi gets confused when it comes to these things. The explanation for how they got to Prismatica is different than that of Nippon and there's time loops and things. ]

[reflash]

It's complicated. It also isn't very relevant, other than the fact that it's been about six months since Shiemi and I have been in Assiah.

I'm a little more used to how this world works, so I'll do my best to answer any questions you have about it.

But what was the last thing you remember from Assiah, nii-san?

[chaoticstupid]

[He immediately makes a face at that -- of course it's relevant!! But when asked, he glances between the two of them again, and... ah, fuck it. Yukio can keep all the secrets he wants, because Rin is frankly tired of doing so.]

I was tryin' to burn Satan out of your eye. But it wasn't working, and then that door appeared.

[...]

But now it's my turn to ask a question-- why do you call her "Shiemi" now?

[weedlikespirit]

[ Rin doesn't remember. He... oh. Oh! Rin doesn't remember!! He disappeared so soon after their trip to the hot springs, too, and... and he doesn't remember! ]

U-um, that's...

[reflash]

[Yukio is trying to look calm, he's got that professional smile on.

He's also turning a little red from embarrassment(?)]

As I said, nii-san, it has been about six months.

[Yukio that's not an answer.]

It sounds like we're from around the same time, I'm from a few minutes after you, and it's difficult to be entirely certain but I believe Shiemi-san is from a similar time as well.

[chaoticstupid]

Hey, that's not an answer! Come on, be honest with me for once! What's with that face!? You two aren't--

You're not--

[Makes a motion with the hands, two fingers pressed together. What does it mean?? It's unclear.]

--like that, are you!?

[weedlikespirit]

[ Yuki-chan is using that honorific again and not answering Rin's question directly and Rin is making weird motions with his hands and asking more questions and -- ]

Yuki-chan and I are dating!

[reflash]

[Yukio goes much more red, but nods.]

That's right. Shiemi and I are... dating. [Saying it out loud is always A Lot.]

I'm sorry, there wasn't really a good way to explain it to you. [Rin is going to die, and Yukio knows it.]

1/hold please

[chaoticstupid]

Dating!?

[chaoticstupid]

Like-- dating, dating!?

[More things are happening with the hands, it's very unclear.]

Since when!? A few months?? What!?

[chaoticstupid]

And you--!

[LOOKS AT SHIEMI]

[chaoticstupid]

And you--!

[LOOKS AT YUKIO]

[chaoticstupid]

[Just fucking]

[deflates.]

[He's dead now.]

/DONE

[chaoticstupid]

[But wait. Signs of life? Is he laughing??]

[No, he's totally crying, but--]

C...

Congratulations?

[His heart is confused and feels torn in two, but... that doesn't mean he's not happy for them? He just needed a minute. Ignore that he just went up a few octaves. And that he's 100% crying. And it looks like he might be on fire again.]

[He'll be fine.]

[weedlikespirit]

[ She said it. She needed to say it and now she isn't sure what to say. So much has happened here. So much has happened back home. So much is happening here and Rin... doesn't look so good. ]

Rin-chan, are you okay?

[ It wasn't that long ago that they'd talked about their own feelings and agreed to remain friends. She could never forget. They hadn't had to address things on Prismatica because Rin was involved and getting married and she didn't get a chance to the last time he was here and the fact that she and Yukio were dating was thrown into his face. ]

[reflash]

[Yukio reaches out and pats Rin on the shoulder, sort of comforting.]

Nii-san will be fine. There's just a lot he has to deal with right now.

[chaoticstupid]

Y... Yeah! I'm totally fine, see? Ahahah... hah...

[Sniffle. It's a powerful shoulder pat, turning the flickering flames back into a fine sizzle.]

[...]

...I thought we were gonna get some shaved ice.

[weedlikespirit]

O-oh!

[ She completely forgot about the shaved ice. She finally pushes herself up off the ground. ]

Y-yes, we should get some shaved ice.

[ He's not totally fine. She's hurt him, but... what can she say right now? She steps hurriedly in front of the boys to enter the shop. ]

Let's go!

[reflash]

[Yukio does not particularity want shaved ice.

He'll go along with it anyway.]

In order to answer some of your questions from back then, nii-san, I think the most important thing for you to understand is that the reason I went over to the Illuminati was to take them down from the inside.

[chaoticstupid]

[While Shiemi hurries on ahead, Rin reaches out to grab onto Yukio's arm, holding him in place.]

C'mon man, don't just change the subject back like that... you'll give me whiplash.

You know I'm happy for you, right? I don't want you thinking I'm not just cause of all-- this.

[This being that his face is still grossly wet. He's gonna just start rubbing it on his sleeve, it's fine.]

[Maybe rub it on Yukio's sleeve for good measure.]

[reflash]

Don't get your weird fluids on my sleeve. [Yukio says, but there's no bite to it.

He looks ahead, frowning a little bit, his voice low so Shiemi doesn't overhear.]

I know you like her. [He says, and there's a tension in his posture, in the way his jaw clenches. Yukio has always hated to lose, has always seen Rin as competition.]

But I like her too. And she likes me. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere.

1/2

[chaoticstupid]

Brothers can swap fluids, it's fine.

[Literally everyone in the vicinity looks over and stares.]

[chaoticstupid]

[But before he can have a proper reaction to that, Rin gives him a little shove.]

Did you think I would? Gimme more credit than that.

Besides, she already turned me down. And I always figured you were the one she really liked. So it kinda fits, you know?
