“No, there’s something else. I learned where you *really* come from.” You get all serious after eating a good-ish slice of pizza.
“What do you mean by that?” Yu Yan seems more confused by the phrasing itself than what it means.
“In my excursion into the Bubble Dimension, I learned things that you won’t ever find in history books.” You try to set the scene. “I know you wouldn’t try to look up anything, but if you did, there would be nothing! Trust me!”
“You know me well, Stud.” Yu Yan gets as serious as you are, which isn’t that much, but she’s not dismissive. “And, uh, what does that have to do with me?”
“Yu Yan, I learned about an ancient extinct civilization that you’re directly part of.” You drop the bomb.
“<span class="mu-i">Right…</span>” Yu Yan slowly nods but her face shows only concern. She thinks you lost your mind again.
“I know you’re not buying this, Yu Yan. But I swear if I explain from the very beginning, everything will fall into place.” You look right into the smug hobo’s eyes. “This is too much to keep from you.”
“Yo, Johnny, chill. I know you have my back. If you think I need to hear this, I’ll call you out after you’re done if it’s dumb as hell, but you’re making me feel like this isn’t dumb as hell, so go ahead. Just don’t make it boring, I know this is some kind of lecture, so think about how Nina would do it, and do the exact opposite.” Yu Yan reassures she’s ready for this truth bomb.
“Okay, Yu, you’re a <span class="mu-s">Pod Baby</span> from the distant past who recently woke up from your cryogenic state.” You put your hand over Yu Yan’s shoulder.
“…I went overboard, be a little like Big Magumbos, dial it back a notch and start from the beginning.” Yu Yan hates every single word that came out of your mouth just now as she slowly takes your hand off.
“Sorry, I had to say something to catch your attention.” You apologize.
“If you think my pretty face is enough to catch your attention, why wouldn’t yours catch mine?” Yu Yan wiggles her eyebrows. “Just talk to me, baby.”
“Here I go, I’ll tell you everything as to how it happened to me…” You begin a long story.
You tell Yu Yan a summary of the events inside the Bubble, then went into deeper detail when everything about Chi-Athua started. Holly Gram, Goalzilla, the Temple of Kindness and Understanding, the massacre that broke out, and the city sinking...
“A-And you’re 100% sure that whoever was in that pod was me?” Yu Yan wants this not to be the case so badly.
