[It's well into the night by the time Luke makes his way back to the apartment where he lives, a small bag with the belongings he brought with him being carried by his side. Unfortunately, it had rained while Luke was out there, so the mattress he brought along was ruined by the time he decided to head back. Thanks to the rain, his hair is also a ( Read more... )

[It takes a while for Miyabi to respond, she's been feeling ill for quite some time after the experiment, what with her appetite not being quite what it used to. She is eating just...a lot less. Plus, she's been thinking much too much.]

...It was nice to have a mama and papa.

Yeah... I bet it was.

[It's not like he doesn't know how having parents feels; he has a father and mother back home... but he wasn't their real son. Still, when they were his real parents... well, his mother, at least, made him feel warm and loved and safe.]

[Miyabi can sense Luke's unease, and her conscience tells her to shut up, to stop, but she just...has to get this off her chest. It's selfish, and she knows it, but she needed to tell someone, and she trusted Luke. Perhaps even more now that this experiment was over.]

It felt like...like I was home again. I had such a big family, like the one in my village. [But this one was real, was hers.] We even did things that were so familiar, too. I was with people I knew, and cared for. I wasn't...alone anymore. A-And I was really, really happy. Even if it wasn't--...I-I mean, I just, I...

I don't think it was bad. [Not at all, and she'd gladly accept that family again, if she could. She takes a deep breath, steadying herself.] And I was glad you were part of it, I had a lot of fun with you. You were a really, really good brother, Luke.

I...

[He would go on about how he felt throughout it, how he feels now... But he realizes that this conversation is wide open to the public, so he shuts his mouth about that. Instead:]

I think I get what you mean. [...] I'm not anyone's brother now... But thanks anyway.

[It's those words that suddenly seem to flip a switch in Miyabi's mind. She blinks, and feels herself almost shove the grief off of herself. She'll be sure to thank Luke for snapping her out of it once she feels a little better. For now, she'll be curt and honest.]

Luke, I considered you my brother long before this experiment. ...And I still do now. [So don't mope.] I still have a family - my beloved family here. You were always part of it. If anything, I should be thanking those idiots for just proving it even more.

[... She really has? Well... Luke feels kind of humbled by that. He's never really been considered a brother before...]

I... Thanks. Really, Miyabi... [He pauses and glaces away, a light blush on his face.] You're kind of like a sister, too...

[Nggh, stupid journal... If she were really there with Luke, she could at least give him a hug to reinforce what she said. Luke looked like he was aching a lot more than she was, and that makes the little painter realize how selfish she was before. Luke was...different. Miyabi didn't fully understand how, but it must hurt a lot more.]

Thank you, Luke. I'm glad you hear that. [She pauses for a second, and a smile begins to spread on her face.] ...Watashi no hōmotsu ni.

[Sound familiar?]

[... Vaguely. And it still sounds like some alien language to Luke. There's a pause before he hesitantly asks:]

What's that supposed to mean, anyway?

It's Japanese, my native tongue. What I said before...it means 'I treasure you'.

[Embarrassing, yes, but all true. Luke was certainly a part of her family now. Her kazoku. But whether was big or little brother...hm. She has yet to fully decide that.]

[After that moment of surprise, however...

Luke nearly shuts his journal - not all the way, he keeps it open with one hand lodged in the pages, while the other presses against his face to fight back the sudden wave of emotion. She treasures... But he doesn't...

He tries to keep that tremble out of his voice when he replies.]

... Thanks.

[Ah--...did he just shut the journal on her? The picture got black all of a sudden. Did she say something wrong? Did she upset him? Was he just embarrassed?

Ah, there. He was still there. And even though she can't see him, she can hear him, and the quiver of his voice. ...So she did say something wrong.]

L-Luke? ...I-I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you, but I was speaking honestly. Please don't be angry with me.
