been ages since I played this lady

You forgot your medicines again? Really, what should I do with you? And you're so quick to tell people to be vigilant about these things . . .

Well, I won't nag you because it's not as though it was idiocy on your part. You're not a like a certain rooster head whose name I won't mention. Just remember to take your medicines next time.

In addition to that, it's certainly not helping that you're worrying about playing me once again. I haven't changed, and just because you have doesn't mean that there's writing on the wall as soon as you start putting down my thoughts on paper.

I'm going back to work. You should too - and take your medicines!

You sound like you have a happy family.

[Ah, once again with the can of worms.]

I had two older brothers.

[forthelifeofme]

I'm not sure about happy. Sometimes I wish I got along better with my sister.

[Her first response after hearing that Tekami has brothers is to glow with smiles but then she had to use the word... "HAD."]

Are they... ...too?

[She couldn't bring herself to say it.]

[what_drfox_says]

Maybe fighting with her is just how you two get along.

[Like how she is with Kaoru. There's no doubt that Megumi cares for the other girl, despite how often they bicker.]

. . . Yes.

[As before, the revelation of loss weighs heavily. Except this time she just remains quiet. She tries to think what it would mean to be completely lost of family. To not have her sister or her father there at all.]

[She doesn't think she could bear it. She'd feel so... lonely.]

[What words can be used for that?]

[what_drfox_says]

Cherish your family and live your life in a way that would make them proud. You never know when they'll be gone, or when your time will be up.

[Yuelia smiles, though her eyes begin to mist terribly.]

Thank you. You are more kind than I deserve.
