✿ Ninth Bud [strange scribbles/voice]

[With a frustrated sigh, Kaori abandons the poor attempt at communication by scratching the surface of the pen across the whole page, eventually ripping it out. It was stupid to think that just because she was able to write perfectly fine a week ago, she would be able to for a while now that she was back to normal. Things didn't work that way.

So much for trying to be anonymous about this and avoiding talking to people more than she has to, but she still wanted answers to her question anyway. Pausing for a deep breath, she dives right in.]

Is anyone out there lucky enough to have their brother or sister here?

So why not be selfish and try asking the Malnosso? It wouldn't really hurt if they could bring him, right?

[Except Naoya kind of cause enough trouble to go on that danger list.

Well...as long brocousin try to behave...] Hm...it wouldn't, and knowing him, he won't be too bothered.

He wouldn't...? [Kouki, your beother-cousin-thing must be very chill and sweet with you if he wouldn't be bothered like most people are arriving here.]

[He's not sure about 'sweet', but Naoya's very, very pleased with his choice.

Unless Naoya forget about Luceti.] It's just how he is...that and I'm around.

... So he must really love you. [It's not so much a question as her thinking out loud – and being kind of jealous. She knows she wouldn't be enough for her own brother to be okay with staying in Luceti.]

...Yes, he does. [Despite how Naoya acts, and all of his manipulations, Kouki believes his brother-cousin really do love him.] Even if he doesn't act like it often.

I wonder why some siblings are like that? Why would you want someone you care about to think that you actually don't?

Societal expectations, their pride, or a number of things like...being afraid.

Why would someone be afraid to be a good sibling?

I wouldn't know. He's always been good to me, but he can be hard to read, too.

So... would you say you know him well, then? [It was a difficult concept for her to grasp, at least.]

...Enough that I can say, without a doubt, that he's a good person and I'll always love him. [Issues aside.]

... I guess what we think about that person is what matters in the end, huh? Not what anyone else says...

Yep. Since we know them better than other people and...family sticks together.

Family is supposed to stick together. [Even though she's smiling, there is still a hint of bitterness that makes it into her voice.]

[Did he imagine that or not?] One day, we'll see them again. [It bears repeating.] You, me, and everyone here.

[Yes Kouki, believe that you imagined that or you may have to deal with a mouthful of snark.] I hope so... But sometimes I worry about if I'll ever see my family again even when I do go back.

You're separated from them?

A lot of the time. [And there's the fact that they all die or are killed young, though she's not about to share that with someone she barely knows.]

That's unlucky. [...] Like I said earlier, maybe you'll see them again.

... JUst maybe. [But she's not getting her hopes up too much.]
