Day 389 - Backdated to early morning! OPEN
[Another day another dollar. Only there are no dollars in Marina, and neither does she run the flower shop because she has to. Rather, she does it because she wants to. Because she needs the distraction, and enjoys watching things grow. The day is early, much earlier than her normal hours, but she needs a little time to think and organize her thoughts. And sometimes, even compared to her shared apartment, this is the place she can do it best.

And to be honest, she doesn't expect anyone to stop by so early in the morning. Not today. But should someone, they wont find Yuuki immediately anywhere in the store. At least not to start, despite the hot chocolate still steaming upon the counter top. Or at least... what they do find isn't what they expect.

With a small leap, a brown, fluffy cat jumps up onto the counter. Padding across the desk, she peers into the steaming beverage, before her whiskers twitch and she pulls back. Apparently it's too hot...]

[OOC: Have a Yuuki cat. She's simply playing around with her ability to transmute and change her appearance. It needed to be done for butler reasons.]

[Her heart hurts. Staring at the floor with her knees curled up, there's so much pent up frustration. The events of the day before were no one's fault, outside of the wardens'. But that doesn't make the consequences less harsh. Oh, for her everything had been fairly simple. An entire new world of things to do and see, even though she hadn't taken her prison sentence seriously. She would get out, she had thought all along. And so looking around and exploring for the day had been natural. It had been easy for her, because she didn't know any better.

Unlike for Ai. Her daughter had remained the same. She knew who everyone was, and once more she had to endure being forgotten by the person who is supposed to love her most of all. Heart wrenching, she can only imagine the pain felt. It has to be so similar to that person. Kaname, who had endured over ten years worth of knowing the pain of having been forgotten. Burying her face against her knees, she blubbers miserably to the other person sitting beside her for comfort.]

I'm the world's worst mother...

[Sniffling, her one free hand curls tighter into the side of his jacket.]

Z-Zero....

[To a small degree Zero's was a different case. It was a "what if" scenario, just as much as Yuuki's was. However there's one thing he can't help but feel a different sort of heartache over. Ichiru. Light-hearted, confident, healthy, by his side. . . everything that Zero had always wanted when they were growing up. And so in the here and now, yes, he does mourn the fact.

On the other hand, however, it's so far from the truth. Having experienced what he did (still) reinforces the fact that Zero would not have changed anything about his past, save maybe for the way he had pushed Yuuki away on that night. Never again. Even through tragedy had he been given something so precious; something he'd never give up. She's always been his anchor, his light.

Right now he's hurting more for her. Even within his own guilt for having forgotten Ai, as well.

He moves to slip and arm around her shoulders, a hand resting upon her head.]

No. You're not.

[Quiet. He coaxes her a little to lean against him.]

It was never your fault. Things are going to be okay, now.

[Leaning against him, her frown never disappears as she stares at the floor. Theoretically she knows this isn't something she could have helped. There's no way to counter the strange things that result from the dimensional stabilizer and wardens. At least not yet.

But it doesn't make it any less difficult.

. . . Especially when it seems like her daughter isn't ready to come home yet.]

I just keep thinking about how awful she must have felt. [To go through that again. Her heart must ache so terribly.] For over ten years, Kaname suffered because I couldn't recall who he was to me. He went through that all alone, while surrounded by people who wanted to use him on all sides.

[Her frown only grows, and she somehow slumps even more.]

I promised myself I wouldn't ever forget again. And I don't want to ever forget Ai. But I know she was really hurt by all of this.

[Zero could say that he had forgotten Ai as well - all over again - but right now this isn't about him. It also briefly has him thinking back to when Yuuki actually forced him to forget about her. However such a thought doesn't have any place here. It was for entirely different reasons, anyway.]

That, too, wasn't anything you could have had control over.

[His words aren't chiding. ]

But, you're hurt. [So very much so.] Ai will forgive you. I promise. Because that's how she is— she's your precious daughter, and she loves you so much. Even I forgot her. [ (I forgot you.) ] Just as you do, I'm so sorry that I had.

She might need time, but, we haven't lost her.

	Mm... [And she knows that, too. Ai is safe. She's alive and also healthy, and she can't ask for much more than that. It's merely an upsetting event. Staring at the ground with a frown, she nods.] What was all of that anyway? [She knows well that neither Yuuki or Zero seemed to know the other, either.] A 'what if' scenario?

	[He only frowns, brown knit.] That's probably the best way to put it. [His hand around her tightens just a little against her arm.] The 'what if' nothing had happen to either of our families. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
