I'm off at midnight tonight! I guess tomorrow starts the triple moon and they're expecting a bunch of extra business, especially from Sanguis and Cordis people, so I get off a little earlier tonight to compensate.
WHAT!! Really, you got it? That's so exciting, I definitely want to borrow it! How did you get copies? They don't have them in the stores here, do they?
Though that's gonna have a lot of caveats, doesn't it? Only if I remain young. Only if I get to keep my friends with me too. &c. &c. It's interesting, but also rather tedious.
[She's dozing, when this call comes in, but she doesn't stay asleep for long. Not when the ID and voice are so familiar, and the message itself is a relief she'd been anxious to hear for — she can't even begin to guess how long.]
Niichan...
[She's tired, a little groggy, but there's still a breathless urgency in the underpinnings of her tone.]
You're back? You're really — you promise? You're okay?
[...Wait.]
Prove it's you. Prove it's you and not just a trick.
Miss Sugimoto, I just want to make sure that you're in the loop on what I'm about to tell you, even if it's likely that you probably already know before I found out. And it's
You don't have to worry! I'm going to sort it out in a little while, once I get everything together. I'm sure it's not as bad as it sounds!
But Leone's just gotten himself put in jail for property destruction. To be fair, it was the Spaghetti Shack so, from all accounts it won't actually be a blight upon Lunatia, but still!
1. It is your birthday soon, isn't it? 2. I know it is Cordis right now, so can I come over sometime soon? Just. To hang out. I'll bring something sweet if you want.
Next weekend...that's after the triple moon, right? Then it should be okay...I mean, yeah! Yeah, I'd love to come, that would be great!
Just what kind of entertaining are you getting at, though? I mean, I've been to some pretty wild parties before, but it's always good to know what to expect, you know?
Miss Sugimoto, I have a very personal question that I want to ask you. And it might
It's probably going to be very emotional, so please don't feel like you have to answer until you're prepared for that sort of thing. But I need to see what I can do, so I have to ask you when you're ready.
[ The day that Reimi gets back into Lunatia there's going to be a very neatly wrapped set of two neatly wrapped packages- in dot and zig-zag paper, waiting for her. Yes, Rohan sped back to leave them for her so that way she'd get back and find them. In one - a sketchbook. Filled with drawings - of her, the scenery, the two of them together, and a couple of people he knows she cares for otherwise, too. The sketchbook itself is hardback - and in black. On the cover is just a quick script in his handwriting "To Reimi" in white ink.
One of the other boxes has 4 cupcakes - red velvet of course. There is a card attached it just says:
[ On Christmas Eve, Reimi will receive a delivery from Josuke. It's a shoddily wrapped present, and when she opens it, she'll find a pink handbag inside. There's also a box of strawberry pocky and a pocky-themed enamel pin. Clearly, so she can join the rest of Part 4 in their pin mania. ]
To Reimi,
Hope you like the bag. All those things kinda made me think of you. Happy Holidays.
