[Video] Time to Lie

[The sound that you might be hearing across the house is the sound of her Dreamberry hitting the wall in anger, Vincent.]

[He doesn't know if his laughter carries that far, but he'll certainly try.]

[Oh! So this is the nice gentleman that that lovely young woman's getting engaged to. Might as well congratulate both, no?]

You must consider yourself quite lucky then, to have such a lovely young lady as your fiancee.

My heartfelt congratulations to you both!

I am the luckiest man alive.

[Except, not really, because really he'd be luckier if he hadn't managed to get himself in this fix.]

Miss Ada is... one of a kind.

[There's another soft laugh here, because that's certainly true at least.]

[It's okay, she'll take your words at face value, Vincent.]

Have you two known each other a long time, then?

Re: video;

[nightraysewerat]

Quite some time, yes. We met at a social occasion in our own world... she was a childhood friend of my brother's, actually, and so of course I wanted to get to know her!

[Oh good he loves people who do that!]

[snapekillsedgar]

Wh-when...

When the hell did this happen?! And why ADA?!

[nightraysewerat]

Now, little brother. Aren't you friends with Miss Ada yourself? She says that you've been quite a help to her since she came to this world, so wouldn't you have seen some of her nice points?

[His tone is infinitely patient and helpful, of course.]

I do apologize for not consulting anyone about this decision beforehand, but... the Christmas spirit got me moving, you could say.

[snapekillsedgar]

You shouldn't have to consult anyone, but... Seriously! When did this happen?!

[Aka, he has hardly even noticed the two of you together aside from at the parties. It's not like he paid that much attention to them there either.]

[nightraysewerat]

We met at a social event. It was love at first sight... but of course we couldn't tell anyone there.

[He puts a lot into this, sounding so passionate about it. Love at first sight, really.]

[disruptstatice]

[Oh and here he is making an own announcement. Welp.]

Are you feeling perfectly alright, Vincent?

[nightraysewerat]

My pocketbook is a little light, but aside from that, I'd say I'm doing quite well?

[disruptstatice]

Your... pocketbook?

[ Dear Vincent,

Please stop with the sugar. It's making Gil feel ill and he's been severely under the weather since yesterday and hasn't slept a wink.

HE CANNOT HANDLE YOU.

But he must. OTL ]

[ summoning what almost resembles a smile to his lips... ]

Brother...!

[ It's on the tip of his tongue, but the words... Maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe he should just go knock himself out! If he did that, maybe he'd finally wake up in a place that at least...

Well at least it was familiar unlike this nightmare of a world! ]

[He can't believe it at first. Just like that, on the Dreamberry, as if it were nothing.]

[2/3]

[nightraysewerat]

[It's a lie.

This world is fooling him somehow.

It's just getting his hopes up to... to crush them again.]
