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. ]

That's nothing bad... but right now, you're my honored guest. That much is more than enough.

[Well......]

I don't believe I am.

[Her honored guest, that is.]

If nothing else, I am currently your freeloader.

[mombastic]

Mm, no. You're my friend. And I do intend to have you help me out, so don't worry!

[discard]

[...hmph.]

I intend to make myself useful, yes, there is no need to worry on that front.

[mombastic]

Then that's all you need to do. I'll speak to the nearest high school tomorrow.

Words like this never come easy, so it takes a bit--almost to the point that it doesn't seem as though he's going to respond again.

And then, quietly:]

... I appreciate it.

[mombastic]

...

[ She's trying.

She's trying so hard.

SHE'S TRYING SO HARD NOT TO HUG HIM. ]

[discard]

[KEEP ON TRYING...

Because upon not getting a response, Leon is calling a tactical retreat. RETREAT.]

Then I am... going to rest.

[YEAH.

OKAY. RETREATING DOWN THE HALL TO HIS ROOM.

GOODBYE]

[ HE'S ONLY SAFE FOR NOW. But it'll give her enough time to think things through and let the events of the day settle.

BECAUSE TOMORROW, SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. ]
