[At one of the more outer areas of the gardens, Sayaka can be seen collapsed on the ground, still breathing. She's actually been gone since the dreams started, determined when the storm died down to run off into the wild places to finally make some things on her own. She got herself horrifically lost while doing so and has only just returned. She's

[The location Sayaka stops at is nearby the Orchard. She had to look around for a place with what seemed like enough open space to work with, while still being close by.

Then she just dumps her basket on the ground.]

... Okay, let's step back. I don't know what's going to happen... but, better safe, right?

[She takes several steps back. It takes a little bit of time, but the magic of creation soon takes place, and when it is finished, a house is made.

... The outside of which is ALL BLUE. Naturally.]

... Whoops?

[stayedwithher]

...Yeah, that's true, but. For me? Why? Not that I don't appreciate it, but it's a pretty big thing to do for someone, y'know?

[tookupthesword]

I know it's pretty big. That's why I'm doing it.

[stayedwithher]

....Wow. Thanks. It means a lot.

[She still doesn't understand why Sayaka did this, though, and a bit of confusion lingers in her voice.]

[tookupthesword]

[She moves to sit on the bed, and motions for Kyoko to take a seat beside her.]

Anyway... there's still something else I have to do.

[stayedwithher]

Yeah?

[She cocks her head to the side, curious, and takes a seat next to Sayaka.]

Man, you're really acting weird right now, it's kinda throwing me for a loop.

[tookupthesword]

[For all that Sayaka is doing, she's pretty much going "REALLY!?" in her mind. Is this that being dense thing? But no, no outbursts. Got to keep it normal and good.]

I resent being called weird, but... well, I've spent the last month thinking. And I really hope you remember that and were serious.

[She goes to try and squeeze Kyoko's hand.]

I don't really know how, but you've become... one of the most important people around me. I just want you to be happy, and to spend as much time around you. So... will you take me?

[stayedwithher]

[Kyoko's mouth is hanging open right now. She's stunned, and her breathing has become shallow. Her heartbeat has become rather rapid, as well. She'd completely missed all of the signs, since she didn't want to let herself get her hopes up after her botched confession back at the dance, but now the delayed reaction was hitting her. After a moment of said silence and a few deep breaths, she interlaces her fingers with Sayaka's and turns to look her in the eye.]

....Sayaka. Of course I will.

[tookupthesword]

[She pretty much already knew the answer, but it was... still nice to hear. Though, she now starts to think about it, and starts getting a little flustered...]

And... this isn't a dream, right? Neither of us are having this in our heads? This is actually happening?

[stayedwithher]

This feels way too real to be a dream.

[The way her heart's pounding so hard that she can acutely hear it, and the elated feelings of an emotion like this being reciprocated, the overwhelming happiness that she'd never truly experienced before in her entire life was just too powerful for her to be able to believe it to be something as hollow as a dream.]

[tookupthesword]

[As for Sayaka, she just... lightly leans onto her new partner. And... starts laughing in a low voice and tone?]

... It's so hard to believe, that this is happening... After everything that's happened... here we are.

[stayedwithher]

[Sayaka's laughter is contagious; Kyoko begins laughing a little herself, in a similar tone.]

You're telling me. Man, I never thought this would happen. But I'm so glad.

[tookupthesword]

I'm glad too... honestly, I just enjoy being around you. Now that we can act... as normal as we possibly can, it's nice that we can both show off our better sides, you know?

Also, take the bed.

[stayedwithher]

Me too. And yeah, I agree. In a place like this, it's best to take the second chance we're getting for all it's worth.

...Fine.

[tookupthesword]

Anyway... just tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, okay?

... What, do you want me to be in it with you?

[stayedwithher]

Okay. I don't really know what to do either, though. I've never even felt like this for someone before.

....

....
....

[That idea has made Kyoko's brain short out. She is now bright red and stammering and not coherent at all.]
