Dream [Open]

[pimpcoatbankai]

You're walking down a corridor, there's a big bunch of flowers in your hand and someone's holding the other. You look up, up, up and there's a face smiling down at you.

"You know, today's a big day for you."

"Mm hmm!" Your voice is young and childlike, and your hand in his is tiny and gripping his firmly. "'cuz I'm a big brother now!"

He laughs,

[Family and loss.]

[This is about the point where Ben realizes that these oddly clear dreams, clear like few of his ever are, aren't his. Other than the vaguest elements, it feels so unfamiliar. He knows he has a twin, but nothing about them. And did he ever know his father? His mother?]

[It's enough to force him to work to restore his equilibrium.]

[Yoruichi wakes briefly, burying her face in her pillow. She feels vague sadness, and a tug of recognition at the sight of Toushi's father; him, at least, she wants to remember.]

[The feeling of loss is familiar enough, and she unconsciously scans for a few key reiatsu signatures. Reassured, she eventually relaxes back into sleep.]

[The dream is so vivid that for a minute Apple wakes up and looks for the grave marker he was just standing over. It's not quite morning yet, and child can barely see the tiny empty bed at the other side of the room.

Big brothers.

Apple slowly lies back in bed and doesn't fall asleep for a long time.]

[ Lin isn't sure what she just saw, but when she wakes up in the dead of the night it takes her forever to fall back asleep.

Standing in front of a grave that belonged to someone who was (is, and always will be) part of your family was a familiar feeling, but somehow she couldn't remember how. She'd forgotten.

She curls up on her side, tugging the covers up to her nose. Maybe one day she'll remember. ]

Action

[pimpcoatbankai]

[Toushi lies awake for a long time after his dream, trying to commit everything he saw to memory. His father's face, his mother's grave, his sisters. He knows it's probably nothing, but he can't help but try to cling to his family for a little while longer.

After trying to get back to sleep for a while, and tossing and turning, he gets up to go to the bathroom and get a glass of water.]
