Li-Na Yiu shared a video. 03/25 near Viea Village

[The video opens with a shot of the sidewalk, and the sound of Li-Na's laughter] Chiyo... Chiyo, I finally turned in the ticket and this came out. [SEE ABOVE PICTURE of a cute 12x12in heart-shaped pink pillow... with some guy's face right in the center] I do not know what I am going to do with this thing. I am tempted to just put it back. [she can barely talk through her laughter] What... what do you think?

[ooc: lol someone meant to send this over messenger and hit the wroooong app]

LOL! Who is that? Your other self's boyfriend?

[invocate]

What? No! How did you get this?

[and then Li-Na notices which app she is replying through

oh

fml]

No. That is her older brother.

[blondferret]

Wow, she must REALLY love her brother to make a pillow with his face on it. Unless... HE gave it to HER?

[invocate]

I actually do not know. She is very close with her brother. But he can be a little ... overbearing and clingy?

[blondferret]

If he made it... that's creepy. I think you've said I'm a bit overprotective of my own sister, but that pillow is light years beyond what I think I'm capable of.

[invocate]

Well. I know they were forcibly separated for a few years when she was a child. It could have been a gift after they were reunited.

[blondferret]

Wouldn't a framed photo sufficed?

[invocate]

Apparently not? Maybe it is normal to do such things where they are from?

[no, no it's not.]

[blondferret]

What kind of word/universe is your other self from anyway?

[admiringly]

[ She didn't get to this post before someone else did, but still... ]

li-na i think you hit the wrong button but um
do you know who that is?
have you seen him in your memories?
(i'd put it back though)

[invocate]

[you tried chiyo]

yes. i think so too.
he is lenalee's older brother. i have seen him in a couple of her memories.
(yeah, i just might. though. it is still cute from the back.)

[admiringly]

why would she have a pillow of her brother like that?
(you can just put the pillow on your bed so the back faces you?
if you don't want to put it back?)

[invocate]

I am not really sure. I do not have any memories of the pillow itself.
(i do not think it is harmful, and maybe i will remember other things about her brother.
so maybe i will keep it...)

[admiringly]

it's not harmful but [ it's embarrassing ]
take it home then!
if you want to encourage memories of him i'll support you
is he anything like your brother here?

[invocate]

A little. I have noticed a few similarities in their relationship and mine with my brother. He really loves her a lot and can be a bit embarrassing. He is really smart, too.

[admiringly]

as long as he's full of love for his sister that's what matters the most!

[invocate]

Yes. I think he loves her more than anything else in the world.

[as it should be]

He just... expresses it in unusual ways...

[alienated]

1. I'll save you the embarrassment and pretend you didn't accidentally publish this to the app.
2. But first: What is THAT?

[invocate]

1. Thank you. I appreciate it.
2. It is a pillow with her brother's face on the front.

[alienated]

Why would anyone willingly own that

[invocate]

Her brother is very
attached to her.
If he gave it to her, she might not have the heart to get rid of it.

[alienated]

The other you is
nice
I get the feeling most people would have let the pillow have an "accident" instead.

[invocate]

Haha for all we know, she had it hidden in the back of her closet.

[alienated]

Seems more likely than just leaving it out in the open, where it can scare anyone who sees it.

[invocate]

He is one of those loving but kind of embarrassing older brothers.
