... Okay. If you need me to speak up at any point just, uh. Tell me. [she'll try to keep her face aimed towards theirs, too.] Ugh. I'm so sick of these effects.
I'll be alright, Lup. But thank you. [they are doing their best.] The effects themselves are rather annoying, but I've grown used to them. Last week wasn't...entirely awful though, you're correct. This is almost jarring.
Yeah...I understand. When you've grown comfortable with something, to have it taken away so suddenly leaves you a little unbalanced and unaware of where to go from there.
[listen. this is their mom? they are literally same hat, like an idiot.]
Yeah, but I'm only talking about this one thing because it's not quite as depressing. [they allow their hand to swing just briefly.] I think for some people that's all you can do. Keep reaching until they reach back. They will eventually.
[but there's a snort.] You're not bullying him about it, are you? [teasing.]
[that first part makes her laugh a little. fair enough! she doesn't want to be depressing, so good call.]
Only a little. [she says, mischievously.] He was very cute last week. Don't tell him I said that. But he was! Dork-ass boy blushing every time I touched his hand.
[deal with mom talking about one her seven boyfriends, sorry gemini]
Uh huh. If anyone even tried to call him cute he'd just get mad and deny it anyway. [lmao. also it's. still extremely weird mom has so many boyfriends but you know what, it's fine. they've accepted there are just things about lup that are different after all.]
...you should take him to one of the best date spots in the Realm.
[this is...sort of sincere, but also sort of gremlin energy. hm.]
[i think a lot about how i dont think he ever knew lup and cloud were actually really dating because he was busy being an idiot elsewhere. anyway! they are in the realm, and they pause before tugging on her hand to get her to change direction.]
Well, if you insist on knowing. [they begin to lead her onward, heading to...a building! it looks very non-descript outside though.]
anyway! realm. she doesn't seem to mind being dragged around, happily following after them. when they tell her to close her eyes, she does, obediently. this is like, asking for trouble, but she apparently trusts them enough to just do whatever they say forever.]
[imagine if they just led her to one of the hall doors instead and left her there. luckily, they are nicer than that. lup will hear a door opening as they lead her inside, and soon the door closes behind them.]
...okay. You may open them now.
[and when she does, she will find herself in an extremely dark room with countless stars spread across the ceiling for forever. welcome to the planetarium.]
[that'd be very funny and she'd deserve it, to be honest.
this is very funny because lup did in fact proposition jason and cloud in the station's planetarium but she's not fuckin' telling gemini that. instead, she makes a little gaspy sound and squeezes their hand tightly.]
Oh - I didn't know there was one here, too. [wahhh. she loves these.] ... It's so pretty.
anyway wheeeee stars!!! they seem very pleased with themselves, swining their joint hands back and forth.]
By my notes--[in gemini fashion.]--this planetarium was used when participants in the Realm wanted to call for their Leaders to speak to them privately. It...also just happened to be a place people would go to get away for a while or watch the stars or be with other people.
she joins in swinging their hands, very amused and very fond by how pleased they are.]
Ahh. Makes sense. [...] I got some memories of this kid I thought was pretty uh, pretty rad, during the memory week. Sora. I wonder if I hung out with him in here, any.
[very subtle, lup. but...they can play that game. there's a moment where gemini seems to hold her hand a little tighter, glancing at the ceiling.]
Mm...perhaps yes. I believe he found this place familiar to his home, so he would often spend time here. Likely, you brought him one of these--[they are still holding the cinnamon roll for some reason?]--and would sit with him while he pondered how to fix everything and look at all of the constellations. You might have bonded over traveling through space and the different stars. You probably made plans here, talked about different things you weren't sure you could talk to others about...
You would have to ask him if you ever saw him again, but I think it's going to be a continuous lesson. [they look at the stars then.]
...I think you're still you regardless of what memories you possess. This is just a more whole version of yourself. To be able to piece together who you would like to really be.

The only nice one so far was last week.

... I forgot not everybody likes touch as much as I do. It's - an adjustment. [ear flick.]
no subject
Maybe they'll get used to it again later?
no subject
You could say that about a lot of things. [she says, after a second, but - she nods.] They will. It's not like I'm going to stop reaching, you know?
Cloud's better about it than he was, at least.

Close your eyes first.

...likely, this is where you became friends.
no subject
That sounds nice. [she says, soft, smiling a little.] I hope he realized he didn't have to fix everything on his own.
[she swings their hands a little, gently.] I wish I could remember more of her. I like being me, but... you know.
[the other her was significantly less traumatized.]

[she says, glancing at them.] I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure it out.
no subject
[they can maybe figure it out together.]
no subject
Someone angry. Someone scared. Selfish.

[they seem to have an answer regardless of what hers is.]
no subject
That's, uh. That's where it gets tricky. I know what I'd like Lup to be.
