[ That is fair, it looks like a peaceful experience. ]

Usually they have someone who acts as a mentor during that, yes? I hope you are able to try someday.

[artisticliberty]

Perhaps. The rental fees for equipment alone are quite high, unfortunately.

[they're... really not that bad, yusuke's just very poor]

[assent]

That... That is unfortunate.

[ If they were from the same world she'd give him 100 snorkeling sessions tbh. ]

[artisticliberty]

[ur too nice sonia]

That aside, what is your agenda for today?

[assent]

[ Money just... isn't an issue when you're royalty, sadly. Gives it to everyone else. ]

My agenda? [ Trying to not cry all day tbh. ] Um... Later I will be meeting Akira for our date, but for now I just wanted to spend some time somewhere quiet. I needed some time away from everyone together. What about you?

[artisticliberty]

[same tbh]

Oh? I'm certain you'll have a pleasant time with him. I have a date with Elizabeth to prepare for later on, myself. But so much has been happening lately, I... needed some time to think.

[assent]

I am too. [ Except she knows he died in the last game now, thanks Rin. ] But I have to agree with you on that. When we first got here, I just wanted to try and get along with everyone. I was happy for the opportunity to be able to make friends with more people from different walks of life. But...

[ She pauses. ] It feels like there's very little I can do, sometimes.

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke's brow furrows. he understands that feeling]

Yes... I was not prepared for what revelations awaited me when I first arrived. I ask myself what it is that I can do to make things right, but I am beginning to fear that I am truly powerless in this situation.

[assent]

[ A very sad feeling. ]

Truly. [ She shifts one hand to press against her chest, the other reaching for his hand to try and squeeze it to offer some reassurance of sorts. ] I hope you are able to figure something out.

/2

[artisticliberty]

[! a surprise hand-hold?!]

Oh--

[he wasn't expecting it, so it takes him a second before he registers that he should, in fact, respond to that]

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke turns his palm to grasp her hand in response, squeezing back gently]

... thank you. I hope that is true for both of us.

[assent]

[ Six days in and she's getting Too Bold. But really, if he's as sad as she is right now, he might need it. ]

And I as well. [ She's trying very hard to not let it get to her right now at least, but she's going to need time to work up the courage for this afternoon. ] Did you... wish to speak about it? I understand if not, of course.

[artisticliberty]

Have you ever been in love, Sonia?

[there was zero hesitation from him]

[assent]

[ She flinches slightly at the question though, her hand squeezing his a little too tightly. ]

I... admit. I am not certain of what it is.

[ When you're raised to keep all of your emotions deep inside and not let any of them out, it's hard... getting rid of that. ]

Have you?

[artisticliberty]

[she has a surprisingly strong grip, yusuke thinks]

... I have. I am in love now, as a matter of fact. It is... thrilling, exciting, joyful, in the best of moments. And it brings me to the depths of despair in the worst of moments.

[assent]

[ She was almost on par with Akira in arm wrestling, that has to count for something. A noodle war. ]

If you put it like that... perhaps I am too. [ Her voice is quiet as she says that, eyes shifting over the fish in the aquarium as she tries to numb everything inside her again, tries to hold everything back. ] What happened to bring the despair?

[artisticliberty]

[noodle power \o/]

Knowing that these few days we have together here may be the only time I have to spend with them at all. Even if all three of us should win the power to travel to other worlds at the end... this will be the last time we can all be together.

[three. boy's been busy]

[assent]

[ The best power amirite o/ ]

I see. [ Honestly, the "all three of us" doesn't even make her blink, because her own heart has been captured enough by two others as well. ] In your case-- [ Hinting that she has a similar dilemma. ] --why can you not travel together?

[artisticliberty]

It's a complicated situation, but... essentially, the reason is that I could never find Sudoh if I went looking for him. He lives inside the body of another person, and his life essence is slowly being consumed by them--nevermind the fact that I would be looking for him in ancient China during the Mongol Wars.

[sighs deeply]

And that's only one issue, of several. Tatsuya cannot come to my world, because if he did, there is a very good chance it would lead to the end of the world. I fully intend to visit him, make no mistake of that, but it will be difficult to do so for any extended length of time. The risks the three of us would have to take... are just too much.

[assent]

[ There's a sudden realisation of why Sudoh phrased it as "give him something to remember me by" when he spoke of making the guitar for Tatuya now. Though it doesn't make any of this any better. ]

Would it not be different if he went with you instead? Sudoh-san, I mean. You would not have to find him... and perhaps being in another world would slow or stop that process?

[ Tatsuya though, that's something else. She isn't sure if he means because it's linked to him or steps he takes to make it happen, but... she understands what it feels like to have someone feel like they're slipping away. So she asks something else instead. ]

...Did you tell them both how you feel?

[artisticliberty]

Yes. Or... I think I was clear. Perhaps I was not. I'll have to tell them again, just in case.

[but regarding sudoh, he just shakes his head]

He refused. He says he has to fix something in the past. I would take him with me without a second thought otherwise. Both of them, really. But I can't ask them to give up their missions for my sake.

[assent]

While we have the chance, should we not tell them over and over? It is unusual, actually. I was speaking to Sudoh-san about this just yesterday... about how whoever those chinchillas really may be, they did not regard our feelings at all.

I do not think he would wish to hurt you, yet... that is what happens when you care for someone unconditionally and they have such a burden to carry.

[ Everybody hurts.mp3 ]

[artisticliberty]

... yes, of course. You're right. I cannot waste any time not telling them how I feel for them. I want them to know that they are loved, before...!

[he cuts himself off, a little choked up]

My apologies.

[assent]

[ It hurts seeing how much pain he's in with this, so she lets go of his hand for a moment. ]

You need not apologise, Yusuke. Here. [ Her arms open slightly then. ] If it is not too bold... would you like a hug?

[ This is what friends do when the other is sad, right? ]

[artisticliberty]

[he looks a little stunned by her offer, his throat drying up. but he's had more hugs from people in these last few days than in his entire life]

If you do not mind, truly...

[tentatively, he reaches for her]
