launching of the EP site provides a good opp to voice test (AND APP TO ZODION what am i doing ashkj)

[heartboobs]

.........Heh. [It's a bittersweet little laugh. It takes a few moments to even arrive.]

It's all for the best, if they're all...happy now. And that's what matters most.

[heartboobs]

...We're together now. Aren't we, Jun-kun?

[watch]

R-Right... [ and he doesn't want to spoil that or anything, but— ] But for how long?

[heartboobs]

I'm not sure... Hmha! We should make the most of it! [She's always been good at pulling off a smile at a second's notice, and so does so.

It's her best option right now. It hasn't failed before.]

[watch]

You could come to where we are. It's dangerous sometimes, but... Tatsuya and I won't fail to protect you. Not again.

[heartboobs]

[There's a whole lot to respond to, but she latches on to only one thing:] ...T-Tatsuya is around?

[watch]

He's around here somewhere, I'm sure. You know how independent he is...

[heartboobs]

...Mm, is he ever. [Her smile returns.] But you're together... I'm glad!

Where did you say you two are again? [She feels a little guilty asking, but he did bring up the topic... And it could mean seeing them all again. Like before. With no consequences this time, if she was lucky.]

[watch]

[ well this is the awkward part ]

Um... it's a place called Zodion...

[ the idea of having maya there used to really bother him because lol zodion but... now things are a little different. there aren't many things worse than death and/or forgetting someone important to you, including weird sex lands. ]

all jun's moms have got it goin' on

[heartboobs]

"Zodion"? Ooh, sounds my-ster-ious...!

It must be pretty amazing if it's keeping Ta-chan's interest, right? I might just take you up on that offer!

hot mamas

[watch]

It's... well, it's certainly something, Maya... I don't know if "amazing" is the word I would use.

[ ... ]

Though when you think about it, the opportunity to spend more time with everyone is sort of a miracle in itself. After we thought it was all over... When I keep that in mind, Zodion doesn't seem like such a bad place.

1/2

[heartboobs]

...Hm? Jun-kun? Is there something wrong? [Hey, he did say it was dangerous.]

2/2

[heartboobs]

[On the other hand...] But... Y-Yes. I would--

[She misses them all terribly. Hopefully that sad smile and brief rub at her eye aren't too noticeable.] ...I would do anything to experience that.

[watch]

No, it's nothing... [ he shakes his head. ] The price for paradise is rather grotesque and uncomfortable, that's all. I wouldn't want you to have to go through anything like that... not again.

[heartboobs]

But I would have my Doppleganger Knights to protect me!

oh blooobloooo that's so cute LOL

[watch]

[ well that gets him to almost smile ;u; before the guilt gets to him and chases it off, anyway. some shitty knights they are! ]

... I'm glad you still trust us, even though we failed you... Michel and Lisa are returning, too. It feels selfish to want everyone back after everything that happened, but it would be worse to let precious time together go to waste. Right...?

can i tell it to tatsuya too

[heartboobs]

[A beat, and then there's her warm hand upon his shoulder, reassuring him that she's okay, she doesn't think so harshly about the past even if he does. She nods.]

Right.

[Oh. Wait.] ...You said it's a paradise. A place of some miracles, didn't you, Jun? Is...Is "he" around? [Read: "Will it really be okay for all of us to be together again?]

[watch]

No, at least... I don't think so. Rumors haven't become reality, and we've been safe enough for as long as we've been there.

It's supposed to become a paradise, with our help. I guess it depends on what you consider a miracle.

[heartboobs]

[She's...happy to hear that. Very happy, actually. It should be okay, and if it ever seems like it's not? She'll handle it so that they don't incur the consequences.]

...I consider just being with all of you again a miracle.

So... Count me in? Or to at least try? I wouldn't be a very good Big Sis if I didn't!

[watch]

You've already given us more than we could ask for, but... [ he nods. ] We'll look forward to it. And you can meet our new friends, too.

[ there's an almost undetectable hint of pride in the way he says that last bit. he has friends! tatsuya has friends! that aren't each other. it's strange, in a good way. ]

[heartboobs]

I can't wait, Jun! Tell Tatsuya he better get ready for me!
