You have a lot to do before you can even think of sending me anywhere. Do it yourself; I'm no babysitter.

[ Could've fooled me, what with July and Suou and... ]

You're distracting...I'm trying to cook.

Do you still cook for twenty?

[demcollarbones]

[ Oh shit, son. A wild Amber appeared! ]

...Amber.

[retry]

[ Giggling. ]

You remember.

[demcollarbones]

Why wouldn't I? [ You were kinda dead (read: chibified into nonexistence) the last time he saw you. Hard to forget something like that. ]

[retry]

[ She remembers that; being chibified into nothing. But she isn't so sure now. ]

We forget things we don't want to remember.

[demcollarbones]

Don't assume you know what I would and wouldn't want to remember.

[real_moon]

Nice to see you.

Alive.

[demcollarbones]

[ He pauses. Something is oddly familiar here, but he's not sure what to make of it at the moment. ]

Alive?

[real_moon]

I was quite dead when we last met...wasn't I?

[demcollarbones]

[ Well damn, hasn't today been a day? First Amber, now Yin . . . sort of. He hasn't any idea what to say, instead just letting his jaw go slack. ]

...you are dead. [ He tosses a look at his mun as if this is all her doing. ]

[real_moon]

Yes, kind of. I came back...somehow. And you were not there.

[demcollarbones]

[ And there's that guilt just hovering over his head like a jerk. ]

Your mun...have they been taking care of you?

[real_moon]

Sure, she did, don't worry.

[Yin believed she learned to hate this man more than anyone else in the world. But she was wrong.]

I...I learned to live by myself. And I'm alive and...

[...and she doesn't have the right to go close to him or hold his hand again.]
