[Action; 1248 Williams Road]

[Koishi is just returning from the Post Office, where she finally regained her basic danmaku! She's humming happily as she makes two pink and blue orbs zoom around in the air, but her attention is turned away from them when she notices the weird tree is back up. And there are presents under it

[Koishi seems to have calmed down just a tiny bit, but she still sounds incredibly upset.]

They gave me back something I didn't want...

[thirdeyeclosed]

Y-Yeah. And now I can't get rid of it!

[Unless... she does that again.]

[wondering_eye]

[Satori hears her sister yelling - so, of course, she shows up to see what all the fuss is about.

And when she sees Koishi's Third Eye open, a look of concern and, strangely, relief crosses her face as she slowly approaches her sister.]

Koishi...? Koishi, please calm down. It's going to be okay...

[thirdeyeclosed]

[Koishi is currently tugging on the vein attached to her head. It's stuck on good, but she was able to get rid of it once before...]

No it's not! My eye's not supposed to be open!

[Even her mind is in turmoil over all this. Endless repetitions of "I don't like this" and "I don't want this" are probably the only things Satori can pick up on right now.]

[wondering_eye]

Stop that.

[Satori reaches for the tugging hand; she's let Koishi hurt herself once, and she doesn't intend on letting it happen a second time.]

...You might not want it open, but...you have a second chance now! You can...try living with it again.

[thirdeyeclosed]

But I don't want to! I liked it better when it was closed!

[sue_of_truth]

That is a common occurrence here. Just what did it do wrong?

[thirdeyeclosed]

They messed up my Third Eye... I hate this power. I don't want it.

[sue_of_truth]

If that is what I assume it is, then why don't you want it? Your sister seems fine with hers.

[thirdeyeclosed]

I hate it 'cause everyone else hated us for it! They all tried to attack us or ran away from us... It's nothing but a pain.

[At the scream, Okuu had practically come running--and hopping and flapping and crashing into things--before skidding to a stop next to Koishi, cawing insistently all the while.

The hell raven's thoughts are something like a mental keysmash interspersed with WORRYWORRYWORRYWHATHAPPENED]

[thirdeyeclosed]

[Koishi flinches a little at Okuu's mental barrage. She looks up after a minute, though, and tries to offer the raven a smile.]

I... I'm fine, really!

[idkmybfforin]

[Okuu's thoughts quiet--a little bit.]

You don't sound fine!

[She's still all puffed up, as if she was going to attack this thing that was causing Koishi distress. It was some outside force, right?]

[thirdeyeclosed]

[Nope, not an outside force at all. It was a certain appendage hovering over Koishi's heart, staring right at the raven.]

... Okay, I'm not. But... I will be. I think.

[Assuming that mind reading only works in person? =3=;

Well that voice sounded vaguely familiar. Christmas is over now, so shouldn't things be back to 'normal'?]

Ah... Hello? Miss, what happened?
