[... Well. This was not what he was expecting when he started jumping around the city looking for Yomiel. Of course he knew the 'other him' couldn't get hurt by anything, but still...]

['Scuse him as he rolls a rock forward to try to trick up to a poster nearby so he can talk to you.]

Yomiel? Are you okay?

[theothersissel]

[Yomiel freezes. He's not used to speaking to other people like him, and it shows. After all, he had been the only one influenced by the meteorite for a long time.]

I'm fine.

[He knows he can't lie in the ghost world, so he doesn't say anything else, keeping his thoughts silent where not even he can hear them. He doesn't want to reveal the truth. Not yet.]

[4before]

If you're sure... I mean, I know you can't get hurt, but I wanted to check that you were okay anyway.

'I'm not sure why...'

[He doesn't understand Yomiel, and he's not sure that he should, but he can't help but feel like he should be around him.]

Where do you think they're all coming from?

[theothersissel]

I don't need your help.

[He turns and shoots another fish in the eye, almost all his focus being kept on keeping his true feelings locked away.]

Remember that hole I fell down in a while ago? They came from there.

[4before]

[... Fair enough. He watches as he shoots the fishthing. Hmm.]

Was the hole really that big? They couldn't have just... appeared there, could they have?

'Then again, we just appeared here, so maybe it's not so weird...'

[theothersissel]

Nah. I smelt them. And there were weird noises coming further down the hole. So, I think they were there the entire time.

I think those things are different, Sissel.

[4before]

Huh... maybe I should go down and check out if I can see what's further down there.

[He can't help but sound a little happier, though. Yomiel isn't telling him to go away, at least.]

The church collapsing must've given them enough space to get out...

[theothersissel]

There aren't any cores. I've checked.

Maybe they brought the church down in the first place...

[4before]

Really? Damn.

'No way I'm trying to go down there any other way...'

... I should probably get going. I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

'Unless he wants me to stick around... but he probably doesn't.'

[theothersissel]

It's bad luck, I know.

[He hesitates. Is that a slight frown on his face? He almost looks...sad.]

Actually...I don't mind. Just don't ask stupid questions.

[4before]

[... Well okay then.]

I'll try not to.

[He sounds a little happier than normal at that, though he's not sure why.]
