>>5373570They are indeed!
>>5374126Very glad to hear! Thank you!
And okay, we're back!
>>5373546Things start to finally normalize a bit with you back home. Does… kinda take a bit to readjust to things like school, not pushing your body as much during training, and… a regular sleep pattern. Ugh, it’s like jet lag but for being alive. But your family and friends are there for you.
Peppa especially seems to be a bit more chipper with you back home, though she’s still apparently going to therapy over some of the stuff she’s kinda been through. You end up going with her once and… you were not in the slightest bit ready for who her therapist actually was. You were even less ready for the fact that her… unorthodox methods actually work. Do get a kinda off feeling about her, not quite… untrustworthy, but more like she’s hiding something, or at the very least omitting it. Ah well, probably nothing too big.
Groucho took a bit to get used to Buu being around, but the ol’ tiger got used to the Majin after you taught him all of Groucho’s favorite scratching spots. There WAS a biting incident or two, but thankfully Buu barely even noticed and more thought it was a game. And speaking of games, there is another thing that helps you readjust…

“Got it!”
The Gerudo King smashes his fist into the barrier, and the vaguely tarrasque-like monster reels back a bit. You next switch to Linkle, knowing the pattern by now. Pelt it with Light Arrows as quickly as possible! …Aaaand you missed a dodge and lost half your remaining hearts. Crap crap crap.
“Mean lizard! Nyeh!” Buu almost punches the TV, only for Pantea to catch his fist before he flings it out.
“It’s just a game, Buu. Punching it doesn’t solve things.” She leans in a bit. “Gohan’s tried before, believe me.” Buu pulls his arm back, starting to understand.
“Hey, I was barely seven!” you protest, but keep eyes on the screen.
“And it was a lesson well learned. But anyway that attack has a follow-up, if you don’t dodge it twice it’ll hit ya, and only Onox resists its attacks.” Pantea explains
>A. Okay, give it another try. You’re better prepared now>B. …Hand it over to Pantea, she’ll be able to beat it>C. Saaaay. Buu, you want a try? You’ve been watching the controls, right? Just follow the instructions carefully>D. Something else?
