A. [Romana hadn't even glanced twice at the small package, setting down her knife on the chopping board as she opened it. As soon as the flap was lifted, the memories rushed back in Romana gasping as she stiffened.
Germany... Germany. He had come to her world in the past, Mayfield wasn't their first meeting. She swallows, letting the letter drop,

The door opens for Romana not long after she begins calling for him. Embarrassment and confusion make it impossible for Germany to look directly at her, though he manages to catch a few quick glances as he speaks, face covered in an obvious blushing red.] W-what's all this about? Some in my household are still sleeping.
[His harsh words are forced, and quite weak in tone.]

It feels like something even more profound than the memories he regained this morning. He doesn't know why.
He feels happy, though, and leans down into it so she doesn't have to reach so high. The tiny German engineers inside his head are completely stumped, but at least he doesn't seem about to faint...does he?]

You- [Kiss] -You remember then?

[Still too confused to smile back, and something about being kissed on the lips on Valentines' Day by an Italian brings up other, more recent memories that he'd rather not recall while he deals with this aaah] So it's true...? If you also remembered...

[Blushes as she lets go completely, fiddling with her hair] Si, I rememeber. How we met before, what... what we had. [Looks upset] How I forgot...
I'm sorry.

I thought it might be a trick... [Is that low voice of his cracking? You must be imagining things.] But you remember... There was an international meeting we left. I can't believe I did that.

[Swallows as she starts to angry] I-I bet in was Inghilterra, the witch. She took you away and made me forget...

[Unable to finish the sentence, scrunching up his brow as he bows his head low to rest atop Romana's.]
Romana...

L-Ludwig...
[She presses her cheek against his chest, inhaling and closing her eyes and she clings to him. Somehow, everything seems so much better, as if this is what she's been waiting for.]
I've missed you so much...

Also, while Prussia happily kicks down doors as loudly as possible, East Germany's learned the value of subtlety and manages to break into the house as silently as possible with all of his considerable skill, which is why Germany and Romana may not notice his presence...until he sees what they're doing and shrieks, of course.]
WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!

Keep your voice down, please, the girls are still asleep. I can explain everything, so I beg you to remain calm! Don't jump to conclusions until you've heard us out-- Ich bitte Dich.
Romana's world and ours... They've crossed over into each other before, just after the Great War. England found a way to magic them back apart, it seems, but all our memories of the event were erased...until this morning. All this time, I'd forgotten, but... Romana is my first love, Bruder. I know it's irresponsible to meddle with other worlds, but I can't ignore how I feel, nor could I ever pretend.
[Trying to lock his gaze with Prussia's, he keeps holding Romana close to his chest.] I've never felt as complete as when I was with her.

Finally, she looks to Prussia, not moving an inch out of Germany's hold. Her chin tilts up determinedly, Romana ignoring the fact that she's shorter than both men as she tries to slip into the persona she uses around the mafia.] Lu- Germania is an adult. And so am I. And we're... we're in love. Even if it is irresponsible... I won't listen to you try and stop us!

...oh, wait. It's Germany. Yes he can.
Right, clearly it's up to his awesome big bro powers to save the day here. He snaps to attention and hooks his arm around Germany's, trying to drag him away from Romana.]
You! [Points at Romana.] I don't know what the fuck you're trying to pull, seducing my little bro like this, but it's not going to work!
And you! [SMACKS GERMANY UPSIDE THE HEAD. HARD.] I'd ask what the hell you're thinking, except you obviously aren't! Crossing worlds, what the fuck! Are you high? Have you been going through Netherlands' stash? You can't be in love with her! You don't even know her! I sure as hell haven't seen her or anyone from her world before this fucking town!
