Two worlds, one family--

[mombastic]

[ It's strange to be in a world with not one set of memories from another world-- not two, but three, not that Otome can really discuss this with anyone. It's difficult enough, when she wakes up these days, and can't remember if she's in her own home, or her apartment. If she needs to call Fumi to check on preparations for the day, or...

But no. This is her world. And not a school day, so she's stuck trying to focus not on what she's missing or what she's lost, but on what lies ahead.

What that actually is, she doesn't know, but she's out and about today, and there's a strong breeze. Maybe today will be a good day for clearing her thoughts. ]

I'm sure those people were able to gain their own happiness, as well. That's just sort of how it works, even if it takes longer for some than others.

[ Even Yamato was happy, and that had taken years. ]

[penitentials]

They have.

[HE SAW TO IT HIMSELF.]

... As they very well deserve, of course. And I am content enough with that as well.

[mombastic]

Mm! I'm glad, then. You've definitely worked hard, haven't you?

... Actually, are you tired? Do you need to rest??

[ says the person who ran around looking for him-- ]

[penitentials]

I'm fine, Otome.

[Calm down...]

If anything, I am more concerned about you. I shall have plenty of time to rest now, but you...have fretted, haven't you? I apologize for worrying you.

[mombastic]

It wasn't anything you need to apologize for. It happened without any warning for you, didn't it?

And you're back now, so I'm perfectly fine.

[penitentials]

[He nods slowly.]

It did, but... even so, I believe it is only natural that I be concerned over you.

[mombastic]

... Well. I'm happy that it's such a natural thing now, but I do promise I'm fine. I can definitely take the day off and catch up on my rest.

[penitentials]

...Very well then. I am glad for that.

[He nods simply.]

And in that case, I will also do the same.

[mombastic]

Perfect! Then I think we're long overdue for a nap, don't you think?

[ He's probably also worn out... ]
