Cetus! Cetus, is there anyone home? Please excuse me if there is not.

	All right. [let's change subject because how do we do feelings] Oh, yeah. Grace took her memory, I've got some unsettling news. Know about the gun that would have been a pity for her to not get? Well, loos like it won't be a problem anyway. The girl can make freaking shotguns out of nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm serious as fuck. And she can do a bunch of other things too, like enchanting other people's weapons or making barriers. She said she's a Puella Magi and fights witches or something like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Well. Fuck.] ...so if she has another breakdown, we're going to have our hands full. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. The shotguns just have one bullet, but she can make as many as she damn well wants, apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So she can just use up her one shot and switch guns... perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Looks like the lady's pretty dangerous. I doubt I could handle her if she had a breakdown again, so it's up to you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	byallmeans 2011-11-05 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	Try not to be alone with her, if you can help it. I'll handle her if she gets out of control. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... Huh. Sure, I'll try. Oh, yeah, we should take our memories too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah. He leaves presents for kids every year.

[pauses for a moment before starting to talk again]

My parents died when me and Akane were kids, so I had to fill in the role for her, you know? Well, Christmas sucks without presents. So every year, I'd have her write a letter to Santa Claus and send it to some place in Europe that doesn't exist. And once the letter bounced back, I went with some money I've saved up over the year to buy what she wanted.

[there's some more silence, and he looks away]

Akane's dead. She was killed nine years ago.

	She- but she's- [Pauses for a minute, processing. She technically could be here and dead, but...] I thought you said she was your little sister? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hohosiscons 2011-11-05 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know what's up. She died as a kid. I'm pretty sure of that. But she was standing right in front of me when I was talking about this. I don't know what's going on. It makes no sense. But I know I failed her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...not yet you haven't. That's what the wish is for, isn't it? Second chances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No, I still failed.

I told you she'd write letters to Santa Claus. Well, that last year... she didn't write a list of presents. She wrote something else.

"I don't want any presents this year. Instead, I want you to make my wish come true. My wish is that we'll be happy like this for a really, really long time."

I couldn't make her wish come true. Even if I save her now, it won't change anything. I still failed.

Talk about a shitty Santa.

	A wish like that... even the real Santa couldn't guarantee something like that, if he existed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... [sorry I can't hear you over my big brother complex] I'll find out what happened. I'm still going to save her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
