The woman in front of you is quite silly, isn’t she? You wonder what makes her think that you aren’t interested in her! You’re supposed to love people from beginning to end! In health and sickness and all that crap that goes over your head when you have to pen down your feelings. Point is… Chio is dumb.
“Huh, and what makes you think I’m not interested in you? I think you’re gorgeous.” You bend over and whisper. Chio is overthinking it!
“C-Can you repeat that…?” Chio whispers back. Blushing levels rising…
“I think you heard me clearly, didn’t you?” You chuckle.
“T-This is out of order if that’s the case…” Chio doesn’t know what to do with herself.
“Well, feelings often are, Gorgeous.” You continue being cheeky.
This is the exact moment that Chio is overcome by emotion, blushing with glee like her teenage self —she steps back, both hands covering her face to hide her emotions. A dream-like story has become real, and to her — the real thing has become dream-like! Through time and space, from realm to realm, you’re here to be with her! The same old silly being that intrudes in her life at a random point does it again!
“W-Why am I acting like this…? I don’t understand…” Chio is ashamed of her tomato actions! “It was a dream, it lasted a couple of days — life went on… I knew it’d end. Yet…”
Even if the connection was severed, the souls of both Chios were one and the same… You can’t say that out loud, she’ll think you’re the wrong kind of crazy — and it’ll ruin the mood. Chio is an expert at losing focus. And after dealing with the Idol stuff, you think most artists are.
“Does it matter?” You ask.
“No, I suppose not…” Chio is unsure how to proceed. Everything is clear now to her, but not what comes next.
“Well… ready to grab a bite?” You wiggle your eyebrows.
“…I can barely stand still, my legs are flaking.” Chio is struggling to hold it together.
“Mother, are you alright? Do you need any help?” Nariko shows up! She got curious after so much time waiting. “You look feverish!”
“Nariko, dear…!” Chio straight up loses her footing. You give her your shoulder to lean on, you can’t drop the plate!
“Johnny, let’s help my mother to the bed!” Nariko is very worried! “I’ll hold the food!” If Yu Yan was here, she’d say that this isn’t a good idea…
Sadly, this is all we have for this thread! Thanks for playing, and see you next time!
