“Even as a figment of my imagination you’re still trying to aid me. You’ve always been there for me, even when I was a useless idiot mumbling to herself, or scum so treacherous and backstabbing that a pond full of scum would be repulsed by me… Despite the near-endless shortcomings that haunt me, you never faltered in your efforts. You’re truly the most wonderful man I’ve ever met. I wish you were really here beside me, so I can tell you face to face how much I love you.” Nariko hugs you very tightly, trying to keep her trembling arms holding onto your back.

It’s weird… it’s snowing outside but the temperature here is suddenly off the scale! You would hug Nariko back, but a nagging feeling continues to bother you…

“…Uh, Nariko? I’m actually here.”

“…Pardon me?” Nariko stops hugging you. With her looking up at you that way, you notice how extremely close she is…

“I was worried after I heard what happened to your friend. I came to visit you as soon as was able to.” You briefly explain, ignoring the ongoing heat and the sound of her heartbeat. “By the way, I meant every single word I said before. I just want you to be happy.”
Nariko places her ear on your chest. “Y-You…” Your OG hobo has a silly smile on her face for all of ten seconds, then it morphs to pure terror tainted in red. Mortified, she shoves away from you and flings herself onto the bed, grabbing the pillow and slamming her face into it! “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” The comfy pillow muffles her screams.

For a moment, you think she’s yelling “MOOOOOOOOOO!” instead…

Shaking your head to banish that thought and ignoring Philonune’s sensible chuckling, you can’t help but admit how adorable she is right now. At least your cool speech succeeded in breaking her sadness — for not even a minute.

Well, what now?

Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling over a 95 is a critical and ignores all other rolls! In the same vein, rolling 5 or under means a critical failure (only for hard rolls and above).

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

“Amelia is back too. She got shot a few times, but she’s okay. Do you want to go visit her?”

“Amelia?! I need to see her this instant!” Nariko throws her pillow away, her face still red from her perpetual embarrassment after what just happened. She looks in your direction for a second, but immediately forces herself to look away. “W-We will have to leave this conversation to a more suitable time! See ya, my dear love! I-I m-mean dear Johnny! G-Goodbye! AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaah!”

At a terrified speed, Nariko dashes out of the bunker room and leaves you behind! Though she puts all her nervous tension into it, it’s still kinda slow.

In hindsight, it was a good call leaving her here when Seioubo came for the piece. It might be any combination of her being tired, overweight, or depressed, but her speed isn’t very good. You could catch up to her without much effort, but you know for a fact she made an ass of herself because she needed some time away from you.

Hehe. Ass…

…Guess you will deal with the Crystal business first. Nothing better to do, honestly. It’s only a few steps away down here, and you also want to see how Constance is doing after her brain drain yesterday. You’re pretty sure being in an otherworldly hypno-coma isn’t healthy for someone her age. Since it’s becoming an habit of yours, you open the door without knocking.

“Johnny!” Constance waves at you from her usual clinic bed. Something about her smile is troubled though…
“Holy shit, you’re actually alive!” Lise’s mouth drops open in shock. What, no faith in you?
“Meow, meow!” It’s Boopies! She’s resting on Constance’s lap, lots of bandages on her stomach. Oh yeah, she got shot…

“Hey everyone, I’m glad you’re all okay. My sister is safe too by the way, if you count surviving three sniper shots safe.” You joke, trying to lighten the mood.

“We heard, Uccelli told us everything.”
“So why so surprised I’m alive…?”
“Your track record. Duh.” Lise shrugs. You stare daggers at the lousy girl.

“…So how are you three?”
“Meow…” Boopies looks sad. Constance looks sad as well.
“Yeah, let’s not talk about that right now, alright?” Lise tries to change topics with no sense of subtlety whatsoever. “So why are you here?”

“To see Constance. Because I care about her...” You say with enough sarcasm to feel it dripping!
“Yeah, right… So what do you want from her? Don’t you know she’s tired after that shitshow yesterday?”

“I don’t mind! What’s wrong with Johnny being here?” Constance asks Lise. She looks bewildered for a second.
“Uuh… Nothing? I think I still feel on edge after yesterday.” Lise confesses. “Yeesh, talking about making things awkward...”

“Anyway, I need your help.” You fish in your pockets for the dumb rock. Where the hell is it…?

“I knew it!” Lise has her gotcha moment a few moments too late to matter.
“…Uh, what’s wrong with helping? They helped me yesterday, I can help now!” Constance responds back.
“…I think I’m being an ass for nothing.”

“I have these.” In one move, you pull the Crystal Piece out and hold it in front of you!
“WOAH! Shiny!” Constance sits up in her seat, shaking Boopies a little. “Never saw one before! So cool!”
“Shiny…? It isn’t that shiny to me. I’ve seen fancier gems than this crap.” Lise is in the same boat as you. These things look just like regular shiny rocks.

“So… you wanna turn it into card?”

You share a befuddled look with Lise. “Care to explain?” You ask politely.
The mummy child nods repeatedly. “Mhm! Just keep it between us! The plan is to turn the rock into a card, so you can hide it from the other players. But sssshhh…” She puts a finger to her lips and everything. Adorable!

“A card…?”
“Yes! Like a credit card.” Constance does the motion like paying for your groceries.
“That’s incredibly underwhelming.” It sounds so dumb. Couldn’t that just get stolen like an actual Crystal Piece? What’s the point?!
“I can’t turn them back to Crystal after the process though. Super one-way. If you want to a power boost, I’ll need to turn them into marshmallows!” Constance keeps talking, deaf to your complaints.

“Johnny, you were right. This shit’s retarded. Lise continues to swear relentlessly in front of a small crippled child. Some motherly instincts, huh?

What’s your decision?

>“Could you divide it in two and turn one piece into a credit card?” You want to secure your place in the final stage now. The other is Amelia’s.

Might as well bounce off opinions before we choose, I wanted to ask how Amelia felt before we did this but people chose not to for reasons I can't see

Also ask how big this power boost is. If it's the same as a normal marshmallow isn't even all that worth it

“If they're absorbed, do they still count toward the total?”
“Nope! I would turn the crystal into raw power and that doesn’t count for anything!”


“What do you think I should do?” You ask both girls their opinion. They go quiet, thinking it through…

“It’s a ticket for the next round and… extra power? So how much in terms of actual superpowers do you get from these?” Lise asks a very good question. You’ve had THREE marshmallows so far, and none of them made your power any different or stronger than the default you’ve had since the start of this war!

“I don’t know. I think it should be better than our regular marshmallows.” Constance has no idea. She’s part of the team making the rules, yet it doesn’t surprise you at all. Knowing how incompetent the Judges are, you’re sure Athelone didn’t tell her anything useful. “I think you should become much much stronger! I don’t think we would bother to tell you about a power boost if it wasn’t worth it!” The volleyball head has a point…

“Soooooooo what do you gals think?”

“Johnny, you can’t win if you don’t have your piece! I think we should turn it into a card, same with every piece! So everyone can help together.” Constance nods to herself. Boopies wants her to stop moving, but her meows fall on deaf ears.

The accountant girl groans loudly. “Look, I’m not going to make you do anything or guilt trip into a decision. You saw what it was like out there. You managed to snag one of these, and I’m damn sure you know exactly what you want out of it. I told you this before; if you manage to win this thing, don’t forget about us when you have the whole world in your hands. Helping volleyball head is what is fuelling me now until this crazy shit hits the fan for good in a few months. I don’t think anyone should take for granted that you’re going to save the world.” Lise gives her two cents. Too bad because she totally evaded the question, her two cents are worthless!

You mentally ask your partner for his opinion as well. Philonune has saved your life multiple times now, and he’s been there with you from the start.

“Partner… In the beginning, my objective was to take the Creator down no matter the cost. As time passes, my desire for a simple victory has been drifting further and further. I cannot stay content with eliminating him any longer. I want to seize the ultimate prize from beneath him, make him know he’s impotent to stop us, and revel in the moment together! And the seed of that possibility is here in front of us… For the long term, securing our place with the ticket is our main priority. Make no mistake, we will find other ways to enhance our power – I doubt this is the only possible way that exists to us. And after what we went through yesterday, I believe Saraswati deserves her part of the share.”

>>3431971

After hearing these three opinions, you feel more confident about your choice than before!

What’s your decision?

>“Could you divide it in two and turn one piece into a credit card?” You want to secure your place in the final stage now. The other is Amelia’s.
>“Could you divide it in two and turn one piece into a marshmallow?” Might as well have the marshmallow for yourself. The other is Amelia’s.

“Could you divide it in two and turn one piece into a credit card?” You want to secure your place in the final stage now, while you still can.
“Of course!” Constance accepts your request, now cheered up from how she was before. The floating arms of Athelone emerge from the four portals behind her, grab the Crystal from your hands, and snaps it in two. One of the disembodied limbs give you a piece back, moving in a way that makes your skin crawl thinking about it.

“I was about to ask if that was a good idea, hearing about how frail these things are.” Lise comments way too late for her thoughts to matter. Thanks a lot Lise!
“I managed to get two, and one of my friends had the idea to put them together.” Did they not tell her how the Crystal Pieces worked? Maybe it’s Judges being inept again, or this knowledge isn’t as widespread as you thought it was…

After answering Lise’s question, you turn back to the magic happening in front of you only to see it already over. A glossy red card, unlabeled and unadorned except for a white chip space and a black scanline, is held up by one of the spooky hands. Reminds you of one of the game cards from Pitfall Arcade. Handing the card to you, the arm disappears into the portals alongside the other three.

You put the Crimson Card in your wallet next to your ID and other stuff.

“Aw man, I missed it!” Lise was too busy paying attention to your answer and not whatever cool magic was going on. You don’t want to admit you missed it too.
“Uhhhhh… I can’t undo it to show you again unless we get another one.” Constance looks down at Boopies, dismayed. “I’m sorry big sis.”
“Honestly, half of the fun being involved in this is seeing all the wacky shit you all can do.” Lise confesses. “Pretty exciting way to spend my summer instead of crunching numbers.”

“I have a hunch you won’t have to wait long for that.” Hopefully this will cheer Lise up a little. Amelia will probably want a card of her own, right?

“What are you going to do with the other rock if you don’t mind me asking? I don’t think you can buy stuff with it.” Lise wonders out loud. Constance seems interested as well, but Boopies meows in a sort of grumble. You’d probably be grumpy too if you survived getting shot!
“I’m giving it to Amelia. She earned it after what we went through yesterday.”
“…Okay.” What, just ‘okay?’ “So you’re leaving now?”
“Yeah, I want to see how Amelia’s doing. I’ll be back soon though.”

“Johnny… Uhmm….” Constance suddenly looks a bit uncomfortable. “Could we talk later in your dreams? Athelone never asked you before and it never felt right to me. Is it okay if I do?”
“Yeah, of course.” How can you possibly say no to that face?!
“Already keeping secrets from me, huh?” Lise teases Constance. “Look at you growing up!”

“I’m sorry. It’s just…” The volleyball head doesn’t know how to respond!
“I’m just joking, see? All in good fun! You don’t need to tell me everything.” Lise smiles at the adorable mummy.
“Mhm!” Constance’s nervousness is gone, and the last of the room’s tension with it!

After saying goodbye to both girls, you make your way up to the clinic reception! Wait, you forgot to ask where they were keeping Amelia!

At the reception, you finally see some people moving around! Some of the patients must have been incredibly bored and the employees are doing their rounds in the hallways. Remembering how deserted and empty the place felt the other day, you’re glad to see business as usual!

Out of all the orderlies and patients scattered around the place, you spot Yu Yan sleeping on a sofa! There’s also a car magazine on her face. Weird, doesn’t she have nightmares? How can she stay still? Maybe she was dead tired and needed a break, or she overcame her fears!

What do you do?

You stop for one second to admire Yu Yan’s thighs. Looking at them made you remember the supposedly nasty scar she has on her right leg. Shame she always wears those long socks to hide it; you wonder if she wouldn’t mind if you see it… then touch it… then her leg… then further up to…

…

You should stop making your imagination run wild in a crowded clinic full of people! Leaving Yu Yan be, you learn from the receptionist that Amelia is on the third floor. On your way up there you pass several medical personnel and random patients walking around or chatting with each other, but nobody else you know. Disappointing – part of you wouldn’t mind having someone else to back you up for this…

As always, you go inside without knocking! You started this, might as well roll with it! You are greeted by the sight of your grumpy little sister in bed, Nariko by her side, and your OG hobo getting her hair done thanks to Yukika. Chewirton is resting on Yukika’s lap, but he raises his head to look at you the moment you open the door.

This feels like a bad sitcom! You’ll suffer the punchline any second now, at this rate!

“Johnny!” Nariko and Yukika say in unison, startling your sister. They look at each other then away. Did you ruin the mood or something?
“…Yay. Johnny. Great.” For a moment, you think Amelia’s back to her ‘dead inside’ self.

Nariko leaps to her feet and tries to keep her face composed. It doesn’t work. “W-w-w-w-well! I-I need to get g-going! Constance is not going to protect herself!” She’s is still embarrassed from before?! What a bummer.
“But your hair is halfway done…” Yukika mumbles, reeling from Nariko’s jump.
“What are you talking about? Constance can take care of anyone now that she’s awake.” Your sister has none of it!
“Uhm… Uhm…” Nariko is searching for an excuse to leave, and doing a bad job of it…
“Just calm down and stay put, okay?” Amelia would slap Nariko if she could move.

“…My mistake.” Nariko bows stiffly, then sits back down in her place. She tries to avoid looking at you, foregoing subtlety for what little is left of her own sanity.

“You’re very strange… as in, interesting!” Yukika comments about your weirdo OG hob, going back to working on her hair as if nothing happened. “Anyway, I think Johnny here came to hear the news, hmmm?” The dog girl elbows your little sister in the shoulder. You think you saw her winking there…
“I’m fine and ready to go. Just give me one of those magic marshmallows.”
“What was it they said? Two weeks in bed minimum? 5 to 8 weeks with low level exercises? Absolutely no getting shot?” Yukika reminds your sister and informs you simultaneously, using that coy act of hers again. “Nurse Calamity said that would be normal procedure, but she has no idea with the flames helping. Aren’t you just the luckiest?”

“Just give me a gosh darn marshmallow and I’ll be O.K.”
“Speaking of marshmallows, here you go.” You flash the Crystal Piece at her. “I discussed with mostly everyone that mattered, and I decided it’s all yours. You know the drill. If you want to turn it into a card you’ll have to talk to Constance about it.” You walk closer and toss it to your sister. To her credit, she catches it without wincing or showing any pain.

“Woah, really? It’s all mine?” Your little sister’s tired monotone sounds more surprised, examining the rock with her one arm not in bandages and a splint.
“I mean, you totally deserve it! That huge skeleton was nothing compared to you and Mr. Masterson!” Yukika pats her on the back!
“Yukika is totally right.” You keep your encouragement simple. “Also since it’s yours, it’s up to you whatever you want to do with it. Remember, you can turn into a card or—”
“I know, I know.” Amelia rudely interrupts you. “Johnny, bring me a wheelchair. I want to go see Constance right now!”

“A speedy vehicle for fast transportation. Your sister has learned a lot from you Johnny.” Philonune nods sagely, getting the wrong idea! You don’t have the heart to correct him this time though.

“…Instead of taking you to her, why not bring her to you?”
Amelia turns to glare at a smiling Yukika. “We can’t risk her leaving the bunker! This whole setup is for her! How can you even suggest that?!” She grits her teeth, irritated. If she were in a better state, she might even do a bear growl!

“Hey, no need to yell at her.” Just because your sister got shot three times doesn’t mean she’s free to bully Yukika like that!

“Point is, I’m fine!” Amelia pouts. She’s in her rebel years, huh? First she was annoying, then she was cute, now she’s rude. If she keeps this up, she’ll reach your level in no time… “Come on, let’s go!”

How will you deal with this?

“What’s the magic word, dear sister?” She’s acting way too rude! “I think you’re forgetting who’s the older one here.” You unleash the big brother grin, honed from years of experience!
“Pfft. How annoying. Now who’s the one talking like mom now, huh?” A condescending Amelia scoffs in your face! The cheek in this little pug-faced brat… If she wasn’t a somber jaded version of herself this wouldn’t bother you as much! You must have shown something, because the look on her face stops being so uppity all of a sudden… “Not so funny anymore when someone else says it, right? Just get on with it please, my arms hurt.”

“Ame you’re being way too rude.”
“I’m in pain brother, and the faster we deal with this the better. So instead of being a dummy and wasting more our time, try to be helpful.”

“Amelia…” Your sister’s behavior is enough to break Nariko out of her ‘not going to look at Johnny’ moment!
“…What? Why are you looking at me like that? He can joke as much as he wants later. I just want to deal with this as soon as possible.”
“Yeah you’re right, but you’re still acting like an ass. You better get your act together or everyone is going to start to resent you for being mean.” Hopefully she’ll listen to your advice before people turn on her too.

“Bah! You’re overreacting! I’m not being that rude.” Amelia is having none of it. Looking at everybody else in the room, she receives no reaction from anyone. “…Or am I wrong?” Now Amelia is back to being depressed and having doubts. Why can’t she stay with one mood?

“Ehm… this conversation is nice and all, but why don’t we take you where Constance is so we can deal with that first?” Yukika proposes diplomatically. “I think with all these resolved, it’s going to be easier for you to think calmly and be rational about these things.”
“…O.K.” Amelia looks down, already regretting being this rude.
“Ame it’s not a big deal anyway. Don’t worry.” You’re her big brother. You need to understand what position she’s in, even if this came out of literally nowhere.
“…O.K.” Your sister goes broken record on you…

After a few minutes of complaining, you arrive to Constance’s room! Yu Yan was nowhere to be found on the way here, probably up and about somewhere else. You four explain what’s going on to the cute mummy, and Amelia says she wants a card and a marshmallow to heal.

“So you guys need something from her too, huh?”
“We help each other all the time, that’s what friends do.” Amelia responds to Lise, overlooking what exactly she made her ‘friend’ do last time… “It’s not like we disappeared for months, then started acting like we care about her the last two weeks, or anything. Nope. Who could possibly be that cruel?” Your sister and the accountant have an intense staredown: Amelia with her ruthless gaze, Lise with her fiery glare! Nariko meanwhile stands next to Amelia as some sort of validation for her. You keep yourself off to the side next to Yukika, wisely choosing to stay out of this.

“Please don’t fight!” Constance interrupts the tense moment. “If you want a marshmallow I’m going to need you to talk to the flame willing to help. You need to convince it to help you! Please be kind!” With Amelia’s recent attitude, you seriously doubt this will be easy.

Yukika looks at the volleyball head with a serious intensity you’ve only seen once from her. “I have a request. Could you use Araneas to help Amelia, please?”
“Huh?”
The ex-celebrity trembles for a brief moment. “She did… very bad things to me, taking advantage of me and my… weaknesses. There’s no doubt in my mind Araneas is not worth keeping alive. I think it would be good punishment for her after what she put me through. You will have to take my word for it.” She says, all apprehension out of her voice.

The big spider queen took her over back at the park, but is Yukika implying there’s more? What else could have happened between them to make her so dead set on this?

“B-but I’ve never done that before.” Constance looks uncomfortable again. “I-it’s up to the flame if they are going to be part of…”
“Constance, I get it. But please understand, I’m not requesting this as someone detached from all this. I want to help Amelia feel better, and I want Araneas to be punished for what she did.” Yukika turns to you with those intense eyes of hers… “Right, Johnny?”

…What do you do?

>“I think Yukika’s right. Araneas was a despicable monster and Yukika knows her best.” Validate Yukika’s idea! Maybe helping her this way will help amend your relationship with Amelia too…
>“I don’t think we should do anything that makes Constance uncomfortable. Amelia will have to convince another flame to help.” You don’t need to drop that weight on her shoulder on top of the rest…

“I don’t think we should do anything that makes Constance uncomfortable. She’s a good girl that doesn’t want to cross that line. Amelia will have to convince another flame to help.” You disagree with the idea, to Yukika’s obvious displeasure. You get the feeling she’s more bothered by the fact her plan wasn’t to your liking than you shutting it down. Lise looks fairly content with your decision though. “I know Ame has this in the bag anyway.”

“Thanks, Johnny!” Constance gives you a warm smile that instantly brightens the room!

“I guess it was too selfish on my end…” Yukika looks a little disheartened.
“I appreciate the intent though.” Amelia reassures Yukika in her boring monotone. “I will do my best to convince this flame. Last time, I didn’t even have a chance.”
“Me neither.” Nariko stares at the ground. Both of them tried to kill you that day, and after that mess there wasn’t any time left to give it a shot.

Constance invokes the arms of Athelone again. She extends her little bandage-covered hand towards Amelia.

“This is something we need to do alone. Please hold my hand!”

Amelia blinks, then sits down on the bed before holding Constance’s hand – probably to avoid collapsing the second she does. The mummy’s eyes shine green for a second, and both fall limp into a deep sleep. It’s pretty cute.

“That is all…?” Nariko is somewhat disappointed.
“I said the same thing the first time. It’s a fifty-fifty with Constance; sometimes you get to watch some horror movie shit, then sometimes you get this boring crap.” Lise waves her hand at her dear adopted sister. “This could take a while. If you guys want to go somewhere else and do other stuff, now’s your chance.”

“I’ll stay with Amelia. I would like to get know you better, Lise! An interview is just the thing!” Yukika is the first to reaffirm her commitment, though you catch a glimmer in her eyes hinting at other motives… “But more importantly, we are enjoying our time being her nurses, right Chewirton?”

“Woof.” The real former Youtube superstar bobs his head.
“Meow…” Boopies snuggles closer to the sleeping Constance, but less snug and more nervous…
“Woof. Woof.” Chewirton barks differently.
“Meow!” Boopies calms down!

What the fuck was that…? Everyone turns to Yukika for her to explain what that was all about.

“…I don’t understand animals, guys – I’m not that much of an oddball! Chewirton actually likes cats! He wouldn’t be half as famous if he wasn’t so friendly. It’s a must for celebrities!” Yukika manages to give a decent answer under pressure! This is the skill of a video star?!
“Uuuhhhhh… I don’t know girl, you don’t stand out next to these crackpots. Face it, you’re not some special snowflake.” Lise comments with zero consideration for anyone!

“Oh…” Yukika’s smile twists in suppressed pain. That comment offended just about everyone else in the room, except you. An awkward air fills the room…

“W-What I’m trying to say is you pretty much belong here, since you’re a freak like everyone else.” Lise tries to damage control by making things worse! “Like, you’re barely noticeable compared to how insane the others are.”

“…” Yukika is trying to keep her smile going despite Lise’s ineptitude. It almost physically hurts to watch…

“…You are not very proficient with words, I see.” This whole situation is so awkward it breaks Nariko’s perpetual shame and embarrassment!
“Yeah, and you aren’t very pro-whatever at keeping a damn diet. Nobody’s perfect and that’s why it’s fine.” Lise nods to herself like she said something witty, completely ignoring how she shattered Nariko without lifting a finger!

“You fit in here better than anyone else, Lise.” You nod to Lise, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable atmosphere. All you did was make Yukika laugh a little.
That made things better, right? Or is that just you…?

“Haha, reeeeeeal funny.” Lise is not laughing. “So who else is staying?”

“Nariko, could you stay here too? I need to go do something alone.”
“Yes, please! I need a break, and I don’t feel too comfortable leaving Constance with people without a flame. No offense.” Lise stares at Yukika.
“No offense taken…” Yukika’s spirit is even more disheartened than before!

“Y-Yeah, count on me!” Nariko snaps a salute! “I won’t fail this time!”
Lise claps loudly. “Alright, sweet. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m outta here.” Lise is the first one to leave, to the surprise of nobody.

“She totally needed to go to the bathroom.” Yukika states after the soon-to-be accountant leaves.
“How can you tell?” Is it possible to read that sort of thing in people?!
“Secret!” Yukika winks at you. You wouldn’t mind seeing it again. “Where are you going anyway?”
“There’s a bunch of people I haven’t talked to since I came back. Gotta go say hi to them while I have time.” Running for your life has a way of eating the hours in the day, doesn’t it? “That’s my turn to go. See ya round!” You strut your way out of the room. The girls wave goodbye to you, but you don’t turn back to look at them, having Philonune do it for you!

First things first, you want to meet up with Yu Yan again now that she’s awake somewhere in here. You assume she should be in Control Room A, since she was looking at the cameras while you with her before. In a spark of good luck, you find Yu Yan looking inside rooms randomly before you could leave the bunker! Is she searching for someone…?

“Hi.” What a reunion you’re making this be. Yu Yan gets caught flying low and takes a few seconds to respond.
“Well well well, if it’s isn’t—” Yu Yan’s grin contorsts and her voice cracks, choking up mid-sentence. Shoving her hand over her mouth, Yu points to one of the rooms nearby. “Quick, go in! Don’t ask!” Yu Yan flings the door open and nearly throws herself inside. You follow after her, going slower than that frantic pace. Did she get emotional or something?

It’s another forgettable almost-empty room out of the many other almost-empty rooms inside this panic bunker. No sheets on the bed, a little dirt and dust on the few furniture, but nothing too bad.

“Are you okay?” You ask, keeping your voice down. She hasn’t said one thing to you since you got inside.
“B-Better than e-ever, can y-you see?” Her voice cracks again. “S-Shit, I can’t…” Yu Yan turns away from you.
“I’m glad to see you’re okay.” You smile, even though she can’t see you do it.

“Just g-give me a sec dude.” Yu Yan starts rubbing her face. “Good thing she’s not watching…” The smug hobo mutters to herself. Is she… crying?!

How will you respond?!

>“I expected a better welcoming party than this… What gives, Yu?”
>”You don’t have to be afraid of people watching you get emotional.”
>“Are you crying? Did you miss me that much? I won’t die that easy.”
>“Please turn around, I want to see that smug smile of yours again.”

It’s obvious she’s emotional, and there isn’t anything better for an emotional person than a nice hug. While her back is turned, you sneak in and hug her from behind!

“Oh jeez!” Yu Yan’s arms flail for a second. She turns and looks up to you, not quite smug this time. “Y-You really missed us cuddling, uh?”
“Not really. I missed you.” You tighten the hug as you say so. “I’m sorry for what I did, worrying everyone like that.”

A slippery Yu Yan spins around in your arms and hugs you back proper.

“Can you stop being thickheaded for one second and not say something this monumentally stupid? You went out there and put your life in the line for all of us, and you’re so lamebrained you apologize to someone who sat on her ass watching cameras and did nothing to help you! The fuck’s wrong with you?! L-Like, s-stop being such a godda…” Her voice cracks again. “This is so frustrating! Why now? Why here?! I hate crying!” The tears are about to start over…

“It’s alright, Yu Yan.” You start rubbing her head gently while maintaining the hug. “I just felt like I needed to say it. That’s all.”

Yu Yan half-giggles and half-chokes through her crying. “Well you didn’t! You never did!” One of the only people who continues to believe in you through your recklessness, hugs you so tightly it makes you genuinely glad to be alive – something you’ve only felt a few times in the past two years. After so many hugs like this from multiple girls, you thought this might not be that special. You thought wrong: it’s not the hug, but the person you’re hugging that matters.

“…Fuck, I hate this!”
“Why? You don’t like head rubs?” Maybe you should go for headpats? “Or is it hugging not a thing you like anymore? I thought you were ‘tightly packed and full of love’ if I remember right.”

“It’s… It’s just… I didn’t want to be a leech. I wanted to be someone you could go with when you needed someone to rely on. Not a dipshit that needs pampering.” Yu goes quiet. “…Except for beauty naps. I still need you for those, you amazing stud.” Having this conversation while hugging is kind of strange – but she’s the one holding on, not you.

“It’s alright, it goes both ways Yu. We rely on each other when we need it.” And that’s what makes it fulfilling, isn’t it?

“Oh shut up, you’ve done enough for me damnit!” Guess that’s enough being sentimental, huh? “By the way, what’s up with this awful smell? It’s not like you at all… It’s like a real strong stench of dog piss and depression. Depression is the most recent one.” How do you even smell depression?! Regardless, she’s onto something alright…

And despite being fully clothed, Yu Yan sniffing your chest is tickling you…

>>3438127

What do you say?

>“Do you know about a certain Youtube celebrity? He’s very cute and likes to cuddle. Also, I went to check Nariko before this.” Blame Chewirton and Nariko!
>“Do you really expect me to smell like daisies and perfume after what I went through yesterday? I haven’t even gone home yet.” Oh yeah, home…
>”…Really? I thought I’d smell more weird, like bad cologne and skeletons.” Sure you fought Seioubo head-on, but you also took Ka-Shing hostage too!
>“Cut that out, you’re tickling me! Not so close! …Why are you sniffing harder?!” Laughing might echo in the hallway, and people might hear! Yeah, that’s totally it!

“Do you know about a certain Youtube celebrity? He’s very cute and likes to cuddle. Also, I went to check Nariko before this.” Hopefully she picks up on the hint…

“Isn’t that that dumb dog Amelia likes to watch do jack shit? …Hold your horses! That’s the same dog in Amelia’s room! Shit, I’m so tired I didn’t notice…” Yu Yan realizes, then snaps out of her realization. Breaking the hug and moving a few steps, Yu wipes her tears away. “Just hold on a minute, you went to visit Nariko?! That explains why she wasn’t there when I checked! So she’s better now? How’d that go? Tell me you somehow snapped her out of it!”

Being upfront with Yu is the best way to ease her worrying. “I’m not sure how much better she is, but I think I talked her out of suicide… again.” It’s optimistic to assume so, but you gotta start giving yourself credit more! “Now she’s with Amelia, Yukika, and Constance in her room. I guess she’s acting normally? Not sure if I can call that ‘normal’ anymore. What matters is she’ll be fine for a while.”

“Holy shit, really? I thought she was a lost cause. You two really are her everything!” Yu Yan sniffs, bittersweet. “Kinda sucks knowing she never got better no matter how much I tried…”
“I know deep down she really cared and appreciated you for trying. She just couldn’t show it.”

“…Eh, the hell with that! Now I can go back to making fun of her like the good old days! In fact, she pissed me off so much with her shit…!” By ‘good old days,’ she means yesterday! It’s a day, it’s technically old, but you seriously doubt it was good. Still counts! “…I even recorded some of the weird shit she did. When I have to shut her down later, it’ll come in handy! And if you’re curious, I can send copies for you to have fun with…” The smug radiating off of her is absolutely obscene right now!

“Eeehh… I’ll be fine.” You will always treasure your fond memories of Mooriko.
“…Okay, so I’ll send them as soon as we get the internet back. I got you.” Yu Yan totally ignored your answer!

In her repeated nodding, Yu Yan stops and scrunches up her nose. “Eeugh. What are you going to do about that smell? Wanna go take a shower? Do you want me to rub your back?” Yu Yan’s eyebrows are doing all kinds of movements.
“I don’t know. It feels weird to have free time again…”
“Oh, so you’re not in a hurry.” Something about Yu Yan’s demeanor shifts. Is she relieved? “I need to be serious with you one minute.”

“What? Were you lying to me during the hug?”
“…No.” Her face goes red. “Look, I know you’re joking, but I believe you need someone to tell you those kinds of things. And I believe them, so it’s piss easy for me.”
“Thanks.”
“If you’re really that thankful, I might need your help with something. You went with Big Magumbos first, right? You’re caught up on what happened while you were out?”
“Yeah, I do.” You kind of wish she didn’t call Nina ‘Big Magumbos’, because you keep imagining them bouncing around… Very distracting…

“Could you come with me and chat with this random guy WILDFLAME brought in?”

“What’s his deal supposed to be?” If WILDFLAME left him here to be treated, he must be somebody important… but to who? And why?
“Uuuh… When he arrived and WILDFLAME was taking him to the doc, he saw me and…” Yu Yan shuffles on her feet, almost as if she’s guilty. “…He called me Rise.”
“I thought you didn’t want to know about all that stuff.”

“But… he was smiling. Wasn’t I supposed to be some fucked-up psycho bitch? Why would he be happy to see me if I was that insane? Err, point is, can you back me up to meet him? I’m just really curious, but I’m also not sure if it’s a good idea. What do you think?”

You don’t know much about Yu Yan’s past either, and this could be important. What will you decide?

“I’m up for it. Anything to help you.” Not only do you learn more about the past of someone you care about, but you help them too! It’s a win-win!
“Wooo… One part of me really wanted you to say no.” Yu Yan is really having a bittersweet day, huh?
“If you aren’t comfortable with this, you shouldn’t push it.”
“Nah, I need to do this. You know how curious I get.” Yu Yan shrugs, resigned to her fate. “Follow me, my charming soldier!” Yu Yan leads the way with a stiff posture and exaggerated marching stomps. Though she looks goofy as fuck doing this, you don’t find it all that funny anymore – last night put a stop to that.

A nice short walk up some stairs and past random clinic patients later, you’re back on the third floor! From what you remember wandering the building lost with Yu Yan, you’re close to Amelia’s room. Yu Yan wanted you to go inside first, choosing to use you as cover. Like always, you open the door without knocking.

To your surprise, the man you’re searching for isn’t the only one inside, because the Doc is in! He’s sitting on a big chair with his cane in his hands, waiting for someone to walk inside. The fact you were the one to oblige doesn’t seem to brighten his mood…

On the bed is someone familiar to you. Minus the face bandanna and ignoring the bandages, he looks just like the guy who tried to kidnap Constance a long time ago! His injuries aren’t too good, but not as bad as most of the people who end up in this Clinic lately.

“It was about time I saw you again, boy!” Dr. Calamity almost laughs as he says this, standing up, but you feel an unmistakable aura of menace coming off of him… You hope it’s not focused on you… “Did Ms. Uccelli forget to come with you as well?”
“Ehhhh, we came on our own. I just need to ask this guy some questions.” You point to the guy in question, who silently watches you talk. Meanwhile, Yu Yan managed to hide perfectly behind you, unnoticed by the wounded ex-terrorist. “Not a very warm welcome for me, eh Doc?”

“AHhahAHhaha yes, my manners have deteriorated alongside my frail body, Johnny boy! It’s hard for me to feel especially uppity for your arrival today, since I never had the shadow of a doubt about your return. Don’t get me wrong; judging by the few scraps and whispers I’ve caught here and there, I assume what you did was no easy feat. But men like you and I don’t give up that easily.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment. I guess I got a little spoiled on how some of the others reacted.” Ruined your expectations somewhat… “I shouldn’t be asking what a doctor is doing with one of his patients, but to be waiting like that… what gives?”

>>3438627

“I’m sure you recognize this patient as well as I do.” Dr. Calamity somber appearance becomes threatening, almost ghastly. In the two months you’ve known him, this is unlike anything you’ve felt from the good doctor. “This young man, I don’t know what to do with him. All I can say is it’s hard for me to forget what he made us go through.”

“I get that.” You really do. There are so many people in your life you don’t know if you can forgive. Not entirely, if ever. “But before we decide on that, I need to talk with him.”
“Question him as you wish. I’ll not leave this man out of my sight until he leaves this establishment.” Dr. Calamity sits back down, watching the guy with an unforgiving glare.

Now that you’re free to talk to him, you turn to the ex-terrorist. He still hasn’t noticed Yu Yan.

“Do you remember me?”
“No.”
“N-No?!” How can he forget you?! You’re the one who kicked his ass! You should be the one forgetting him, not the other way around! Yu Yan starts to giggle behind you, pouring salt on your wound. “I-I was the one who beat you, remember?! Back when you tried to kidnap Constance in the old building!”

The ex-terrorist pushes himself up to sit straight. His eyes are wide. “What?! You look completely different! How?”
“Oh, so you didn’t recognize me. That’s fine.” Yes, your image has improved a lot since then. You don’t feel any different from how you were then, though.

…Okay, maaaaaaybe just a little bit. Still not enough to matter to anyone else but yourself.

“So what do you want from me?” He goes back right to business. Good.
“I need to ask you some questions. First, what’s your name?” You scratch the back of your head. You never knew who this guy was supposed to be; for all you cared, he was “Terrorist A” until now!

“My name is Oliver Watts and I’m a dead man.” Wait, he didn’t even try to not answer the question? Also, what’s up with the edgy shit? “Tombstones reveal the names and their corpses don’t talk. So that’s everything you’re going to get from me.”

“Eugh, did we really know each other? How could old me stand that type of shit?” Yu Yan can’t endure it any longer, stepping out of your shadow as dramatically as she can! This surprises no one except Oliver.
“That voice! That face! I wasn’t imagining things! Is that you Rise?!” Oliver is in complete and utter shock as he watches Yu being uncomfortable.

“Sucks to be you, amigo, but I’m about to rain on your parade…” Yu Yan smirks, but her lowered shoulders and her regretful eyes tell you everything. “You’re not gonna like what you’ll hear next…”
