[ a small part of her takes a moment to despair keeping everyone and their lost names straight ]
Oh, sorry, sorry! I've been trying to come up with a nickname for my cutest little sister. But I suppose I was thinking of Ruby-san and her snacks instead just now.
[ she smiles sheepishly, sweating. ]
Maybe there's still some of the parfaits in the kitchen...?
Maybe? We can go look if you want. [It's said simply, ready to grab her hand. But she stops, looking at that smile with a small tightening of her brow.]
Um. Nee-chan... are you okay? Did something happen?
[ hikaru-chan is much more observant than she realized, huh? but she squeezes her hand reassuringly. nothing to worry about!! ]
Your silly onee-chan keeping thinking of all sorts of silly things. [ she's experienced the fog bubbles a few times by now after all. there's a weird collision of thoughts bouncing around up here ] I'll be alright after a slice of cake!
Hikaru seems to just snap into a daze through most of it, almost flinching, as though there's a noise in her ears that she can't stand. But there's not much of a reaction otherwise.]
But I have belief in myself, and what I can do... and I know the people who I met really supported me. So I don't really remember ever feeling too lonely. Not all the time, anyway.
[Spoken rather plainly. Weird.]
What do you do when you feel like that, Onee-chan?
[ she's too busy absently screaming mentally, please hold ]
Hm...I hold onto the good as well. All those memories I've made, the people I've helped and protected. It's worth it to remember all you accomplished when it begins to be too much.
[ she smiles a little crookedly, patting Hikaru's head ]

Let's go, then. I'd get worried for you if you weren't feeling okay.
[She'll take a moment, to pull Usagi up to her feet, unaware of the bubbles behind her heels as she does so.
And two memories play in rapid succession.

but to her credit, Usagi seems more surprised by the sudden memories than Hikaru's reaction but she does look mightily confused by the line pool ]
How can it be a line... but also a pool.... but it worked like it should but it's a line....???
[ good thing her hand is being held cause other wise she'd be clutching her head right about now ]

...Oh, you mean Eterna. You saw that too, huh?
[She doesn't sound too concerned.]
I don't get it, either. But I had to try. That's why I jumped in from up high when Mokona showed me what it really looked like.

[ watch her avoid using names now ]
I'm glad you had people by your side...! Mokona-chan is very cute too!!
[ wow actually she's a little jealous, Mokona is bun shaped ]
no subject
It was nice. Having to fight all on my own without knowing somebody was there... that would have been really hard, otherwise.

And knowing you're never really alone.
