Week 6, Sunday afternoon

[respring]

[ So. Just to be coincidental like that, Syaoran Or Whatever His Name Is might be able to spot Sakura leaving Watanuki's room at some point, a few books under her arm. She looks a little worried, but not as much as yesterday, thankfully.

Sleeping Beauty has not woken up and she is fretting slightly. ]

[excavated]

[ Thankfully, Tsubasa actually pays attention to Kimihiro's room quite a bit - for various reasons, actually - so when he sees Sakura go out, he can't help but wave. ] Sakura-san...? Did you go see Kimihiro?

[respring]

[ A LITTLE BLUSH BECAUSE AH PLEASE DON'T LET HIM GET THE WRONG IDEA ]

Y-Yes. He's still sleeping. [ a sigh ] He told me this might happen, actually. But, um, I'm still kind of worried, you know?

[excavated]

[ Tsubasa is as pure as the driven snow. He thinks that she might have read some books to him, given what she's holding. ] Ah, he did? Well, I'm admittedly a little worried, too. But if he's sleeping, there's definitely an important reason for it.

[respring]

[ a nod ]

He said if he expended too much of his magic, he'd just fall asleep until he could recover. And I noticed him getting very sleepy last week. He almost passed out in the library, so this may have been coming on for a while now.

Or were you thinking of something else?

[excavated]

No, that's basically it.

He's been using a lot of his magic as of late, and needs some time to recover. He'll be fine, he just needs some rest. Although he might be like that for the rest of the week.

[respring]

Oh, thank goodness.

[ u gave her a worry, dude ]

The rest of the week? This sounds more like a coma than just sleeping...

[excavated]

Yeah.

Can you continue to watch over him, though? I'm also going to keep an eye on his physical body just in case something happens, but I can't always be there.

[respring]

Of course. [ you don't even need to ask her tbh ] I've been eating dinner with him every night since you left, ehehe. It feels weird not to...so I guess I'll just spend a little time in there and read a bit.

[excavated]

I'm sure that he'd appreciate that. I don't know if he'll be able to hear you, but... I guess if he doesn't, you'll just have to read the stories to him again so that he remembers it.

[respring]

[ nodding ]

...I have you to thank for that, by the way. It's how we ended up spending more time together.

[ unintentional matchmaker tsubasa li ]

[excavated]

Huh?

[ Tsubasa finds himself looking rather surprised, brown eyes widening and a slight flush in his cheeks at the realization. ]

Ah, well— I didn't do much, though...

[respring]

You asked me to keep him company, silly. That was enough.

Week 7, Tuesday

[respring]

[ Come Tuesday afternoon, Sakura is sitting in the dining room, looking out at their fun new "sea."

She looks a little...hypnotized. But the sound of someone coming in the room jolts her back to reality, for a while. ]

...Tsubasa-san. Would you mind sitting with me for a bit?

[excavated]

I don't mind.

[ He takes a seat in the chair in front of her, glancing a bit out the window before looking back at her more properly. ]

[respring]

Did you go out and look at that sea? I went...and I felt the strangest thing. That wasn't just me, was it?

[excavated]

Huh? Ah, yeah, I did... when I had to grab Sora from going too far in it. It isn't a good place for anyone, yes, but a few select people are probably worse off by it. I'm probably one of those people who would lose themselves completely.

[respring]

[ "How come?" says her expression. But she's feeling like directly asking would be rude. ]

That's...mmm. I felt like 'it would be nice to not be me anymore' and 'if I step into it further, I don't have to be me.'

[ which

lmao ]

[excavated]

. . . You can easily lose your self of self in there. I like being me, but I have so many other memories of people that it's.

[ It's complicated. ]

[respring]

...different problems in the same pond, then. [ .... ] I'm not going back out there, of course, but I...think I have an idea of what to do about my name, now. After thinking about it. 'Who are you, if you're not Sakura Matou, and you don't want to be Sakura Matou'?

[ Anyway it wouldn't be Sakura if she didn't have food nearby, so she pushes a cup towards The Artist Formerly Known As Syaoran ]

Would you like a little tea? It's more matcha.

[excavated]

... Yeah.

I don't think it's safe for any of us to go back out there. We'll probably have to stick together. But that's good. And I don't mind tea.

[respring]

[ A nod, and she pours him a cup. Enjoy, with a few cookies nearby. They are both delicious. ]

...I think I want to take you up on your offer from Sunday. To write about my family. It's better done when we're not on an island crumbling away into non-reality, but...if we have to stay inside, what else can we do? Do you know what I mean?

[ this is a silly problem in a serious situation but also, they're just twiddling their thumbs for now ]

[excavated]

[ He is going to take a sip of that tea before nodding. ]

Yeah, it might have been better that way, but... you're right. We might as well.

[respring]

Mm, at the very least, I can tell you some things verbally. Is that okay?

[ stirring her tea ]

[excavated]

That's totally fine. My memory's pretty decent, don't worry.
