On possible canon update for upcoming luceti app cycle

[niceguypose]

Ah, Mun-san... the time is nearing, isn't it? You will have to write out the form needed to "update" me. I will have to ready myself for that day, and what awaits me back home. Excuse me... But I just wish you would be kinder! The idea that, before I can witness my comrade's fate for myself back home, it may be Sakura-san of all people who winds up relaying the news to me here in Luceti... I cannot bear it!

Also, that "Valentines" event has complicated the matters of my heart beyond my imagining. I always thought that devotion to Sakura-san was the path I was meant to follow as a romantic youth. But now, I have to face Rapunzel-san and Izumo-san as potential contenders. And there is a chance all three may break my heart! I know that Gai-Sensei would say something about confusion regarding girls being a bittersweet cornerstone of youth, but... this is too confusing!

Speaking of which... Mun-san, you allowed me to call out for Gai-Sensei here once before, and that cry fell on deaf ears. I humbly and selfishly request permission to do such once more. Of all the "castmates" I would like to see here, he is number one. I know that only he could save us all from being trapped in such an enclosure. Not to mention that... we will need him. When we have all learned what has transpired back home in the war, I will need Gai-Sensei more than ever. His comfort, his guidance...

PLEASE! GAI-SENSEI, FIND US!

Sincerely,
Rock Lee (Kononha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast)

Learning what happened in the war back in that place would never be easy.

[niceguypose]

Ah... Ino-san. Thinking about you and Shikamaru-gun... It fills me with too much grief!

[floralogy]

It's just but... normal to feel that way. [A pause.] I mean I feel the same way for your team.

[niceguypose]

That is correct. I did not conceive the full extent... of the toll this war would take on us. On - on our loved ones. D-do you know, Ino-san... if you will learn what transpired at home, back over there?

[floralogy]

I honestly don't know.

[She takes a deep breath and lets it out in a slow, calm exhale.]

Sakura's the only one who knows back there and I know her too well to know she won't say a thing if she can help it.

[niceguypose]

I see. Sakura-san is very intelligent in that manner. Still... It is hard to keep secrets in such a place. I may discover the truth in some manner before I get home. It will break me all over again.

And then, in the coming months... Shikamaru-kun and I will most likely end up in the same spot as Sakura-san. We... we will be back there, having experienced it.

[floralogy]

... Oh, so your mun is planning to send you back home for a period of time then drag you back to that place?

[In short, they're planning to "canon update" you.]

[niceguypose]

That is so. [A quiet nod.] He intends to update me at this point, and Shikamaru-kun shall undergo a similar fate as well. The specifics are still unclear, but... we will be back having witnessed those events.

[floralogy]

I... see. [She has mixed feelings about this.] Mine's decided that she won't do the same thing with me. At least, as far as I know.

[A pause as she reflects whether or not this is really good for them.] Good luck, then.

[niceguypose]

Thank you, Ino-san. [He can't tell what would be worse: her suffering with them or having to face her while knowing themselves about what happened to her father.] I only hope I can be as sensitive as possible on this subject. I wish you luck, too, in whatever way you wind up... meeting this ordeal.

[floralogy]

Thanks. [She wants to try a small smile, at least, but it's unsuccessful.] There's no easy solution to this, I'm afraid. Either way, I'm going to get hurt.

[A beat.] Shikamaru, too.
