"Y-Yeah, I'm doing just fine Junketsu. Why wouldn't I be?" Satsuki replied, trying her best to put up a brave face despite her stomach churning and turning inwards as butterflies ran rampant inside.
"Well, not for nothing. But I seem to notice that we're not precisely moving." You ponder, shifting your eyes around your surroundings and surveying them accordingly. "Listen, if it's about how fast we were going, I'd doubt we drew attention to Ragyo or the others. At worst, some Western like the USA or Chinese satellites picked up an anomalous movement for a brief moment. A blur at best, and if it bothers you we could have Hoka take care-"
"It's not that, Junketsu. I'm more than aware that we should be careful with our commutes but also trust my loyal crew to handle any grievous from us taking flight. It's just..." Having cut you off before you can finish, Satsuki found herself starting to stammer as she looks deeply at the door knob.
"Just what? That you're afraid that you might be putting your father in jeopardy by showing up like this like some wanting daddy's girl? That perhaps maybe Soichirou likes your baby sister more than you hence why he didn't try to take you with him after faking his death from Takiji Kuroido's assassination attempt? Or it's-" Before you could finish, you were cut off once again by Satsuki as she was almost hyperventilating.
"Okay, maybe I said too much. Sorry." You mutter, looking away from the raven-haired heiress.
Taking in a few deep, calming breaths, Satsuki gently places her hand against the door. "I wasn't thinking any of that...at least not right now. But...you're right. Standing behind this door is the man who I thought had died. The lone parental figure biologically that I have genuine affection towards as their child. What if you're right that he likes Ryuko more than me, how would he react to seeing me after all these years? Would he even know it's me at first glance? The last time I saw him I was still a preschool toddler. What if he hates- " Before Satsuki could continue, she found a small cloth soon placed on her plush, pronounced lips.
"Satsuki. It's going to be okay. Dr. Soichirou isn't the man who would pick favorites, much less hold any negative blood toward you. You are similar to your mother in some ways, but in many ways you are different. You are a much better person than that vile, insufferable bitch. And I'm most certain we already had our PSA moment about your father not viewing you as a sleeper agent or supersoldier weapon against her empire. Trust me when I say that he'll recognize you, and will love you unconditionally all the same. Human, Life-fiber, or a hybrid of the two, it doesn't matter. You got this." You reassured Satsuki with a warm smile.
Hearing those words immediately cheered Satsuki up, causing her to crack a smile. "Thanks, Junketsu-"
